Default Re: High-end Dining: Expectations and Reviews

I meant to make this point eariler, but the curve is definitely NOT linear. It never is when you approach the top of something, for the simple reason that the cost to make it better isn't linear either. And there's the scarcity factor. Is a $100 bottle of wine 10x better than a $10 one? No, of course not. Is a $15 million pitcher 100x better than a $150K rookie? Probably not. But those higher priced items are much rarer than the cheaper ones, and if you want quality over quantity, you have to pay. It's not always worth it, but sometimes it is, just to experience the best there is.
