What's a Fair Price for Dinner?

[Double 0]

Tommy, if a restaurant sells a $8 bottle of wine for $35, that is a disgrace. I've written in previous post about pricing and don't want to get into my pricing ideas but today's consumers are much more wine savvy than before.

hyperbole.

Maybe, but not far from the truth. When I go out to eat the wine list is as important as the menu. The prices that I see on some lists can take the edge off a great meal. I don't know how many times the liquor bill has been as much as the food bill. I've developed relationships in NYC that allow me to BYO in certain places, but NJ is the best. When I go out to eat an exceptional meal I want to drink at that level. Prices on most lists preclude me from doing that unless I BYO.

Looks like the "Fair Price for Dinner" topic has turned into "The Economics of BYOBs"

If you have been to Greece you know that they serve wine in jelly glasses-- they don't care about the "proper" glass.  (Not to mention that they are poisoning all the stray cats!!)

Amen.

you're quoting yourself. did you forget to log out and in under the other name?

good catch tommy.

simply a question of economics

a price of $10 for a steak may yield a demand of 75 customers

a price of $35 for a steak may yield a demand of 40 customers

we all make decisions as consumers of whether to buy or not and where to dine or shop.

Unless we all have the same demand for all the same items, there is no fair price.
