I have no reason to dislike them. I should note that, while I don't think I know any billionaires, almost everyone I know comes from a very well-off family (not the kind that fly in private jets, but the kind that don't worry about spending $75 per person at a nice dinner every now and then).
Spending $75/person out of pocket. Geez. Like those places exist for companies to pay for it. Geez...that sounds like something I'd do once a decade.
I've eaten at Alinea twice.
My family will eat reasonably often at places like Ruth's Chris, Flemings, and The Capital Grille (or local steakhouses). We usually prefer nice steakhouses to gourmet restaurants. Actually, I wonder if the steakhouse-gourmet restaurant divide is the conservative-liberal divide among people with high earnings.ESPECIALLY among people with higher earnings, those ridiculous divides don't exist when it comes to things like FOOD, LOL.
