And prepare to pay like $500 for a dinner for your whole family. If you want a mind-blowing Michel Richard dinner, make reservations at Central - much more affordable, and from what I hear, every bit as good.

How is that a constructive or intelligent comment? I just made a suggestion and the poster can research and make that choice if she wants.

Have you been to Central? Can you make a comparison based in personal knowledge?

As for $500 for a family- if you do Citronelle right that will just barely pay the wine bill...

You suggested a very expensive restaurant that most people probably would not be able to afford. I pointed out the expense and made an alternative suggestion. I'm not sure how that's not constructive, and I'm not sure why you were offended by it.

$500 was an estimate. I've only eaten at Citronelle on the company tab, so I'm not that sure on costs. I tried Central this week and it was amazing - I actually liked it quite a bit more than Citronelle.

Just a question of interpretation probably- so no worries. Eating out big at least once on a trip is key for me, and so that is usually the first thing I recommend anytime someone asks me about travel plans.

As for company tabs- dang I miss those! A few years ago I was on a team that had to do a major save for some consultants in New Orleans who botched a big job. We worked to 3AM for a week leading up to Christmas holidays.

We were coming home on the 24th and finished early on the 23rd, so on the company tab we had a big night in New Orleans including one of the most extravagant meals I have ever had!

We earned it, but man I miss those times. One of the downsides of having my own business now- there really is no such thing as a free lunch anymore...
