Savoy London and other expensive (and cheap) meals
Have often run up bills well over $600 for two and $1000 for 4-5 people at the Savoy Grill in London, the most wonderful restaurant in the world until it was modernized ! a pox on their house
Often over $1000 at Cité and Sparks in NYC for 4
Somehow managed over $500 at Terminus Nord in Paris which is a great bistro but still a bistro
Similar bills at Prime, Bellagio Vegas and Nero's Caesars Vegas- but they were comped so all pretty painless
Easy to run up a room service bill of $100 or more for dinner in my room alone at Peninsula, NY or HK, Ritz Montreal, Savoy of course...
On the other hand there is a diner here in Toronto called the Tulip where you can eat a delicious dinner including home made chicken parm and pie for under $15 - which just proves that high spending doesnt necessarily equate with good food. The Blue Benn Diner in Bennington VT, the coffee shop in Hanover NH main street and the old Pantry Cafe in LA are all equally fine with absurdly low prices.
