I would consider $100 per person (all-in cost) just an average better (not special) dinner in NYC. Tax is 8.875% and then a 20% tip is usual.

That sounds about right to me.

Michelin haven't postponed their 2021 awards despite the pandemic, indeed the UK awards were announced last night.

Michelin seem to have been quite considerate and understanding in relation to some temporary closures and some restaurants moving to take away services with far more restaurants being awarded stars than being demoted, only 6 restaurants were demoted, whilst a further fourteen lost stars due to covid related closure.

Two London based restaurants run by female chefs were upgraded to three star status, meaning London now has five three star restaurants, with a further two just outside of London at Bray near Windsor, making seven in all.

Whilst Andrew Wong in Pimlico, London was awarded two Michelin stars, making it the first Chinese restaurant in the UK to get such an award.

A Michelin star restaurant charges $200/person in NYC just for lunch. For dinner you are looking at $250/person. People here whine about paying $50 for steak, try $90 for a NY strip and $135+ for a Ribeye. If you go to any NYC Steak house that serves A5 Wagyu you're gonna be looking at $299-500 for that 10 oz ribeye.

Well, certainly "a Michelin star restaurant" may charge $200 for lunch (which do? EMP? I honestly have no idea) but not all Michelin-starred restaurants do. Casa Mono, Grammercy Tavern, Peter Luger, ZZs Clam Bar, NoMad, Benno--none of these even have a prix fixe for lunch, let alone a $200 one. These are just Michelin-starred places off the top of my head.

The ones that require RSVP to get, it is $200+ for lunch. I remember going to Le Bernardin and it was about $1300 for 5 of us. Luckily I didn't have to pay a dime, I'm sure you can get away much less but that's the expectation to sit in the only 3 Mich-Star restaurant in America at the time.

RSVP? Do you mean a reservation?


I'm still unaware of a $200 lunch prix fixe, but $200 all-in? Sure.

Watching a couple of episodes of Iron Chef, I'd be willing to pay a lot of money to try some of that food. It looks brilliant, you can't get it anywhere else, and a lot of it isn't things that could be cooked at home because it takes specialized equipment and skills.


It would be a special treat, not a daily luncheon.



Other cooking shows with top rated chefs, maybe not so much. Usually, what they are cooking I can do pretty well at home. I'd be upset to pay a lot of money for something common, just because the plate was beautifully decorated.
