Better to be a Lions fan

Draft beer at bars around here goes for $6-$10, you can get cheaper PBR in cans at some places.  The brew pubs charge $7-$9.

Difference being brew pubs are charging that for craft beer, whilst NFL stadiums are charging you for BudMillerCoors.

No idea what a beer costs here. I can generally get a double Tito's for $10 or less in most places.

$8.00 at the local haunt. And more than a double.

The bar next to us has standard liquor drinks at $7, other places would be $10 or higher.  One place charges over $50, but it's for Hennessey XO.

We have a ton of younger folks living here with apparently a lot of money.  I guess after paying $3K per month for a 2 bedroom apartment, paying $10 for a beverage is considered smallish.

We like to dine out some, but for lunch now it's easily $50 in a lot of spots with no alcohol, and $100 with.  We've pulled back on that sort of thing.

Yup if my i s c & a aggie wife and I go out for lunch on a weekend and have drinks, it's probably close to $80.  Dinner over $100 many places that are NOT fancy.  We cook at home a lot more often these days and the kids prefer it, they'd rather eat homemade food than restaurant food.  Of course, we're both good cooks, so that helps.

We went last evening with some friends to a place they like. It was good.

I had two double Tito's (not great pours, mind you). She had 3 Chardonnays. Decent pours.

I had a Rueben with fries (just finished the second half right now) and she had a chicken Caesar salad.

$52.00, plus $15 for tip.

(Yes, I always tip ~30 percent for good service.)

US average is 717.  They claim going over 750 has diminishing returns, maybe 780 helps for a mortgage a bit.

Twenty-five years ago I was with my work team in Orange County, CA and we were celebrating finally closing out the final tests on a huge sale, several million dollars, which was going to open another huge sale for more than double, at the same fab/customer account.

We were eating at Morton's of Chicago in Santa Ana, CA.  We'd finished our meals and desserts, and the servers asked if we wanted any after dinner drinks.  The bigwig sales manager decided to buy everyone at the table a glass of Louis XIII Cognac, at $95/glass.  It was very tasty and I was appreciative.  That glass probably costs double or triple that, now.

Midtown Menu | Ecco | Modern European Cuisine in Atlanta, GA (ecco-atlanta.com)

This is where we go if we want to "dine out", not just eat.  There are of course fancier places.  We'd probably get an appetizer, $15, to share, two meals will be $60-$80, and then a bottle of wine, probably $70.  (They don't have much under $45.)  We're well over $100 before tip.

And yes, we can and do fix comparable meals at home, maybe not comparable if I'm cooking, I am more basic.

If we're celebrating, we probably go here, and it's $125 pre fix per, and then wine or whatever else.

Bacchanalia — Star Provisions

That's the best place we've dined around here.  I should have our loan paid off by August 2025, and have an eye on going there again.

I think the cost of food out has gone up faster than reported inflation rates.  I paid $23 for two Big Mac meals in north Georgia in a small town last month.

One Indian place near us, Tabla, now has Louis Tres.  It's $100 for half ounce, $195 for a full ounce.

I've never had it.  It's over $3K for  the bottle at the store.

We like Tabla for lunch, it's pretty reasonable, a nice order is $16-17.
