Is it against the BB rules to wish someone heartburn?

It’s a lot harder for this to come off as classy once goldschlager sets the precedent.

I’m irrationally annoyed that the sprite cost more than the espresso?

Indirectly?

I could be outraged. But honestly, this is the most on brand thing I’ve heard about the rich in a month and I don’t have the energy to waste on this silliness. I’m sure the restuarants are totally trustworthy and not going to substitute 24 carat gold for something less expensive (and likely toxic). Right? Right?

One of the great things about living in Kobe, Japan is that you can eat Kobe beef anytime you want.
Nah, I’m just kidding, an 8oz steak that you cook yourself is still a a good 80 bucks (USD equivalent).

I would like to release a hundred starving dogs into that restaurant.
For reasons.

That was also the thing that hit me! The espresso was reasonable somehow.

Framing the headline as a question shows a real open-mindedness on Dunn’s part. Who knows, one of BB’s commenters might very well be a showy nouveau riche arsehole with more money than taste or intelligence.

What a waste of good waygu beef. Seriously, that stuff is awesome but this is just trash. I’m sure the people who order it probably ask for it to be well done too.

my wife and i purchased a little booklet of 24 carat gold leaf and had it incorporated into the decoration of the cake we ordered for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. it was striking.
wrapping a steak with it? hard pass.

At least they made it “convenient” by adding the nearly $900 tip.

Of course they do. They want to enjoy their meal.

I’m still not 100% that I can leave the country and come back (last year I definitely could not). And I’m a permanent resident. But at least I can get that sweet, sweet beef!
