Brazilian tourist on prices in Don Julio restaurant

200 bucks, I remember 2015 me and my ex-wife went to New York's famous Benjamin's steakhouse full meal cost us like $120 without the wine.
 
boring menu, overpriced food, snobby attitude.
there are much better places to eat, for less, or, at least, for a much better and larger and varied meal for similar prices.
jose el carnicero smokes don julio. And they treat you right, not like a product on an assembly line.

Those prices are unethical. I wouldn't even think of going there.
 
Of all the delicacies I would want to try in this country, carne from a parilla is probably the least interesting I can imagine. Perhaps in Palermo where a quincho is a folksy novelty, it's in demand. But outside of Capital, you can find an asado on Calle Cualquiera any day of the week.
 
there are more expensive places in BA.
and much much more expensive places in most other countries.
rich people dont consider expensive to be "unethical".
they consider them to be status.
I went to the Mallman restaurant Garzon, in Urugay, years ago, it was more expensive than Don Julio, although we ordered ala carte and split things. There was a Maserati SUV parked outside, the owner was dining inside. These days its over $200 a person if you have a glass of wine with your meal.
The current groovy sushi place in Los Angeles, by far not the most expensive, is a place on Sawtelle thats $250 usd per person, not including drinks.
Everything, everywhere, is more expensive than it used to be, but I think that Argentina is still a lot cheaper than the USA, apples to apples.
a hundred bucks a person, in Seattle, or SF, or LA, is not even unusual these days, and certainly not the "expensive" places, by far.

It had to be very creative to make that much to afford a Maserati in SA....
I brought a used 2013 Maserati back in 2017 in California cost that 38K, wouldn't imagine how much cost in BA, never seen one.
Barely able to keep rent and beef on the table, and twice per week dinning out with gf,
I've cut my starbucks hobby entirely.

We aren't in Los Angeles. These prices are outrageous. Yes, unethical. Remember Marie Antoinette.
