Lowkey attempt at bragging, and failing badly like everything else he tries.

i hate how every time i try to talk about my life now it's considered bragging...i guess that's a compliment

It isn't. You can't take your failed attempts and twist them into being good for you. No one cares if you spent $23 on a plate of spaghetti.

i think i overspent, soliciting public opinion...what's wrong with that? this dish used to be $17 2 years ago but slowly crept up in price

It really depends on where you are buying it from. I can easily spend 30 dollars CAD on a bowl of Spaghetti and Meatballs with a side salad from a local Italian restaurant, because I know the quality should be there. They make everything fresh. That said, its not something that I would actively go out and purchase on the regular.

I do however have 1 food fantasy. There is a sushi restaurant in Japan called Jiro, which is claimed by many to be the best sushi restaurant in the world. The cost of that is about 300 dollars. I would easily spend that much on that experience, because your getting the great sushi as well as the experience of having someone make it for you. I don't even like seafood that much, and I would still pay for it, just knowing that there is a great difference between that and the stuff that your average joe makes.

Lol this is typical restaurant menu prices. Paying over $20 for a restaurant meal is definitely common.

Yep, I've also watched multiple food reviewers videos of it. The only problem is that the owner is in his 90s. I have plans to head to Japan in 2022, but I might have to settle for the 2nd best Sushi restaurant assuming I can book an open spot. Not that it matters much, since I believe that gentleman was a student of Jiro.
