Out-pricing the Palate
So celebrated the old bday with a dinner at Al Forno in God’s
Plan Rhode Island.
The meal was just incredible. And here’s a thought my wife and
I had as we devoured our food. We paid 3x the price for a meal at Spago out in
the city of angels and the food was nowhere near as good.
But, when you look at a menu and there is a steak for $135,
can the food ever live up to the price tag? Psychologically, I am skeptical.
There is a balancing act that restaurants must walk between
pricing and customer satisfaction.
Al Forno was better in all ways but one. Ambiance. Al Forno
is loud and a little claustrophobic.
But the food, my joe pesci man, the food. Worth being seated
next to a hipster and his beard and overhearing the hullaballoo at the table
across the room.
Before the end of the meal, I doubled down: “Book it, we are
coming here for my next birthday!”
All Hail Al Forno!
