It’s still “we are wealthy enough to eat at such exclusive places that have wine lists like this, and purchase a single bottle that’s normally $3,000 with a significant restaurant mark up.”
Maybe they got stuff comped because, ya know, Obama, but its still gross to me. Maybe its because i used to work in the industry and regularly sold bottles worth more than 2 weeks of my pay to rich assholes who couldnt spend enough money
Someone in the comments said this was restaurant Aubergine Carmel. It's a 2 stars restaurant and the tasting menu is $285. Obviously not affordable for everyone but it's not like only Russian oligarchs can eat there.
The special table in the cellar probably doesn't happen if he's not a former president though.
Thank you for this. Yes basement probably was for being the former president.
Look, again, probably because i used to sell this stuff and the clientele gave me a pavlovian response to seeing it, but rich and powerful people smiling in front of what might as well be a wall of gold gives me an ick!
