These places are about a certain culture of power and influence that comes to us from a different era. The testosterone these places emit is awesome.

I have walked into 21 with a group of big shots (of which I was not one) and we were made to feel like the kings of the world.

I think that is the appeal.

It's certainly not about the food.
