Look for me....

...In Long Island Newsday possibly on sunday.  A wealthy customer of the company I work for gave me $500.00 worth of gift certificates to a very nice restaurant in brookville and I am going on Saturday.  I am taking the wife,her sister and husband.  It's really snooty and expensive and I will almost be sure to blow the whole 5 hundo. 

I am not very high brow, so getting tossed out is not totally off the table.  I'm thinking maybe ripped jeans, work boots, no shave for a few days, and maybe have 7 or 8 cocktails before I show up would be a good plan for someone like me.  This has such possiblilies.  youtube, reality TV, local news.  should be just the ticket for getting my "15 miinutes" of fame.  If anyone has any tips on what will make the night more interesting, feel free to chime in here. 

I am just screwing around, except for the not being high brow and the bill probably exceeding 500 big ones.  I will report back to you guys with details on how the "other half" lives.  sadly, the other half is probably full of the same type of aholes we all get to tolerate every day, so probably no earth shattering discoveries will be made.

Don't bath , belch , rip a few farts , give the waitresses a few pinches , that should do it .

the first thing i thought of was in the movie blues brothers when Jake Elwood went to eat at that one restaurant.  You could show up with your girlfriend and then have your wife show up also

I could do dangerfield from caddy shack  "....and tell the chef that this is low grade dog food!"

Showing some class at a fancy restaurant will undoubtedly get you a lot more quality sack time with the wife than the embarrassment of seeing your arrest video on youtube.

Actually, I've had good and bad experiences in those "ritzy" places. My wife once got a $50 gift certificate from her employer to go to a so-called nice restaurant in downtown Portland years ago. We got dressed up as best we could and went. Boy, that place was a joke. Lousy service and what food you got was no better than a TV dinner. We ended up getting a bill for $75 so I still had to pay another $25 just to escape and then had to stop by a Burger King on the way home because I was still hungry.

One other place I went was Ruth's Chris and although the food was awesome my wife and I could barely afford to buy one little steak and split it. I walked out of that place hungry too.

The last place I went was on Valentine's Day and I spent $100 on dinner for the two of us but we walked out of there with bursting buttons and a bottle of wine. That was a $100 bill I didn't mind paying.

We are all clear.  4 people for dinner at fancy restuarant: $390.00, tip: $80.00, coatcheck tip: $5.00, valet parking tip: $5.00.  Me with 7 drinks in me scarfing down a filet mignon and a chipwich for desert: priceless.

I would think a family of 4 could easily blow 100 bill at Red Lobster if you throw in a few drinks, $500 at a real nice place could go real fast.  Depending on the restourant, there more than likely bottles of wine that cost more than that on the wine list.  Enjoy your night out!
