I agree 100%. Fine dining should really be framed as part of the entertainment category. You are paying for an experience. Just like people don't talk about the Incan Trail as a $1,000 hike, a Michelin restaurant is not a $150 meal. When framed like this, it is obvious that some people would derive more utility out of a Michelin starred meal as opposed to buying 2-3 new video games.

Ok, as entertainment. Well, well, I think that is a perspective I'd simply never have realised until you said it. Thanks.

Edit: why on earth did anyone flag this?
