My friend lost a bet to me and the wager was a free dinner to anywhere. So i need your guys help to make a list of a the most expensive place to eat in town lol. I'm talking about 50 dollar plus for a steak the size of a toonie so i would have to order 3 of them.

[funkychicken]

the shore club

[godwin]

Most expensive place would be restaurants with the oldest wine on their wine list.. you can walk out 30k lighter or more. Meat like steak are cheap. It is wine and truffles that cost the money.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

what he said


a bottle of decent wine is easily about $700 dollar

[tiger_handheld]

just cuz he lost a bet, why do you have to be an a-hole?

[143what]

lol 30k damage is quite the blow. i'm lookin about couple thousands max ;)

[bd0n]

Cioppinos lumiere west Bishops

[143what]

it's just the way it is between us. we'll laugh about it over a 700 dollar bottle of wine.

Bishops is a great restaurant. Probably not the most expensive but I doubt you'll find too many places in the city where you can have better food.

I thought there was that new rule where your alcohol tab could not exceed your food tab. Therefore buying a $30,000 bottle of wine would require $30,000 worth of food? Or was that just all talk and wasn't passed.

It wasn't passed. Got thrown out.

[godwin]

It got thrown out I think.. However any high end restaurant wills get you some white truffle in anything (pre order).. the more you add.. the more it will be.. add a few ounces into everything you order will easily add a few extra digits to the bill.

^^ mmm thats good. was a stupid rule to begin with.

[bcedhk]

mcdonalds, get a 12 patty cheeseburger, 80 nuggets, and 20 mcgangbangs

[misteranswer]

Go to West. It's a great place for a date.

[murd0c]

Im suprised this hasn't been asked yet but what was the bet?

[jello24]

a free dinner to anywhere.

if i were you, id tell him to go fly you out to England and have a go at The Fat Duck.

heard it was one of, if not THE best restaurants in the world. that is, if my definition of "anywhere" is the same as yours.

[azzurro32]

One of DT hotels? Sutton/pan pacific.

Or better yet, come to my house and il cook steaks for $80/ounce and offer presidential choice truffels for $40 each

[jtanner_]

In for info on the bet.. aha

[SuperSlowSS]

Food can only cost so much. Unless you eating something exotic or in high demand. And you can only eat so much. But wine on the other hand. ;)

[godwin]

It is not that expensive.. the waiting list is insane though. I went there it had a about 6 weeks reservations.

if i were you, id tell him to go fly you out to England and have a go at The Fat Duck.

[ooops]

Bishops, Shoreclub, or Le Crocodile have my vote

Fat Duck is 45 minutes west of London, ranked high due to Heston Blumenthal's micro gastronomy techniques. The current top restaurant in the world is El Bulli south of Barcelona on the coast. They only accept bookings for the coming season from midnight January 1st. I emailed them right at the stroke but had my application (for the requested weekend) rejected last week.

[godwin]

Because El Bulli will be closed for 2 years.

lol thanks for all the ideas guys.

the bet was on if I can get a promotion at work before he can seal the deal with this girl who he was so sure about. Needless to say, he was wrong lol.

[skyxx]

You all clearly do not fully understand how Bro's work. :lol This shit is gold!

[TekDragon]

Im suprised this hasn't been asked yet but what was the bet?

+1

Also, Tojo's is good as a la carte sushi adds up quick. Le Crocodile is a great restaurant as well. Nothing but good things to say about it since I went last time.

[6793026]

if you want to waste money sure.. Tojos, go in before hand, tell the reception you want to spend 1000 a head + 500 drinks. bam, done.
call up West tell them u have 2500 dollars to spend and tell them to fax over a menu that's suitable for your budget.

it's been done before.

[Gt-R R34]

LOL thankyou 6793026!

I'm going to do that next time my buddy loses a bet. Haven't we all done bets like that with our friends? LOL!

SO now that's been said, IN FOR THE BET! what was it?

[TOS'd]

lol thanks for all the ideas guys.

[Zyzz]

the last time i won a bet, i lost

it was about chasing a girl within a week

now i am finished

[143what]

haha, pressure's always on the chaser.

[achiam]

Because El Bulli will be closed for 2 years.

Nono, it's closed after this coming summer season. My application was for this summer.

[WHEYsted]

Head to the Aria Lounge on Robson or Bacchus on Hornby.

[6793026]

Haven't we all done bets like that with our friends? LOL!

bets are usually when a few guys are buzzed and we're betting on a fwe drinks or be a wing man to tap a fat chick, nothing that crazy on a 2000 dinner.

[skyxx]

^ It's more funny if it has some insane amount like that. :)

[observer]

lol 30k damage is quite the blow. i'm lookin about couple thousands max ;)

This is how:

Contact the usual suspects, le Crocodile (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2009/09/le-crocodile-surprise-field-trip-today.html), Lumiere (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2009/04/meeting-daniel-boulud.html), Market by Jean-Georges, (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2009/01/market-by-jean-georges-vancouver_25.html) Cioppino's (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2009/05/pino-posteraro.html), Tojo's (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2009/12/hidekazu-tojo-visiting-us-today.html), have them do up a $2,000 all in tasting menu for two with wine pairing, and see how they get back to you.

At Cioppino's they should give you the small private room in the front, and feel free to PM me if you are not sure if the wine they offer are any good.

To let your friend know you are not a complete jerk, tell him that as of last Friday, they still have the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild at $12,500 at le Crocodile and you are not going that route. Back then, it was still a 2nd growth under the 1855 Classification (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2010/01/official-1855-classification.html).

For comparison, here is a $500 charity dinner last year cooked by the same top chefs in Vancouver. They all did one dish (http://imperialhotelmanagementcollegestudent.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-meal-ever-served-in-vancouver.html).

Have fun.

[StylinRed]

haha had a couple bets like this b4 that i won

friends must be so happy i dont drink alcohol

[Gt-R R34]

^ with you there, i never break the bank with them, i'm a nice guy. haha

Usually Gotham's 3-4 course meal with wines. Not the best way to hurt their wallet but just i love steak =)

[freakshow]

Out of all the places people have suggested, I'd recommend Ciopinno's.

[hondatekker]

go to stone grill or revolving restaurant

[suzuka84]

go to places which cater to the actors and pro atheletes - bacchus, cioppinos, blue water etc.

those are guaranteed to run your bill through the ringer

[Swerve13]

Hy's has great steaks

and cheesebread

and beefsteak tomatoes

and more. can't go wrong
