[QUOTE="Johnny Rico, post: 1349009, member: 18895"] After traveling through Europe, Asia and the Middle East and dining at local joints I cannot understand the desire to go to a US restaurant. A decent steak dinner for two ($55) with an appetizer ($12) and bottle of the cheapest red wine ($25) with an 18% tip you're looking at over $100. Then they bring you your check before you finish the last bite and usher you out passive aggressively. In Vietnam I had a family style meal with a group of 8 or so that was absolutely delicious, alongside half a dozen beers over the course of four hours and my share was $8. Even France had reasonable prices outside of major tourist zones. That same dinner from America would be around $40 and far higher quality with no getting the boot. The way American businesses bring you the check without being asked by the customer comes across as "You're done feeding... now GTFO" and most Americans actually like that because they see a restaurant only as a feeding trough.
