I think that one place actually sells bait out back.

Classy

Yeah, Gordon Ramsay founded a multi-million dollar worldwide fine dining empire on his poetic language, doncha know.

Oh it's probably this, I certainly don't get ipods with my dinner, but the food is really good and frankly that's all I care about. The most expensive place I've ever been was probably around the $60 a plate range so that's what I'm comparing to.

So Heston Blumenthal, Jamie Oliver, Glynn Purnell, Rick Stein. . .

Christ why do I bother? I don't have Jophiel's patience.

Several


But, the only destination city on that list worth visiting is Sturgis, South Dakota, and even then only interesting during the Rally.

The level of knowledge of food and technique you get from first going to a chef school and then working in high end restaurants is pretty much impossible to duplicate on your own as a hobby.

that being said, if you focus on learning technique and about ingredients rather then learning recipes, you can become a very accomplished cook in your own right. No you probably wouldn't survive iron chef, but there's nothing stopping someone from perfecting a dish to the same level you'd get at a Michelin star restaurant.

The fanciest restaurant I've eaten at was average $50-60 but that would be very rare. I really enjoy cooking enough that I'd rather cook my own food. If it's not a dish I've perfected, (which is a bit boring to be honest), it probably won't be quite as good, but I'll have a lot of fun, and it will still be delicious. The more you play around the closer you'll get.

To compete with top chefs at really high end restaurants you need access to a really wide range of very expensive ingredients and tools, and a massive amount of knowledge to use them properly, as well as a lot of practice to learn what actually works. Good luck.
