Great PR for them, and a pretty good brand extension.

Come on, we can get 10 of us together at $750 a head for this can't we?!?! It'd be a great steak, and some sides, and then we can arm-wrestle over who gets to keep the grill. Who's in?!!? Hello? Anybody?

Translation : We are doing no business in the summer.

An act of desperation disguised as a clever promotion.

cant say I blame them, there are actually just enough dumb Philadelphians who eat up these "promotions"

The only reason anyone would buy that $7500 package is because thier last name is Dumas.

First of all, a viking stainless steel premium gas grill lists for $1100 which means it will actually sell for cheaper.

With the rest of your $6400..

You can buy a round trip ticket from Philadelphia to Tokyo Via Los Angeles, take a boat to Matsuzaka and buy an entire bone in ribeye of the worlds best beef, ship it fedex overnight and still have $3000 to spare.

Alternately, you can just buy the grill and just go to Gachot and Gachot in New York and buy the same steaks for $200 and spend the remaining $6300 on the side dishes.

Do they really think people are that stupid ?

i'm pretty sure you're allowed to say dumbass on here. i know i try to on a daily basis.

but really, i can't imagine paying that for this. as i said in the "waiting for restaurants" thread, i try not to judge, but seriously, why don't people just give their money to me instead? i have several more places to eat out before this kid shows up, and time is running short!
