Loved the bit on Sopranos that addressed this way back before "bottle service" became mainstream Obama-son cool and something for "everyone".

Anthony was sellling his fucking childhood drum set and cleaning out his garage just to pay for one night of VIP at the club. I'm smiling hard and laughing my ass off right now. Bless David Chase.

I think it would be a blast to work on a cruise ship. Unfortunately i was too white and educated to go that path in life. I bet those motherfuckers have some crazy stories though.

We should set up an FoH cruise. If we went Carnival we might not even be the shittiest people there.

Nothing easier to cook correctly than a steak. Who the fuck goes to Peter Luger's to drop $200 for a $30 piece of meat.

Buy a cast iron pan and some grass fed butter and hit a good wholesaler for some dry aged beef.

Fine dining isn't really about the food. It's about being told that you're a special, smart, sophisticated, wealthy person that deserves to be treated like you're better than other people. A lot of people are willing to pay handsomely for that feeling. If the same food could be delivered to your house in a styrofoam clamshell for the same price no one would buy it.

I thought fine dining was all about how close to the flirty whore line your server will tip toe for the big % before your GF gets pissed and declares 'we are never eating here again"

How fancy is the styrofoam clamshell in this scenario?

thanks, you just made me feel a lot better about my steady diet of McDonalds and bar food.

I know a few people who have. Below decks off hours is the ghetto house party you would expect. The stories I heard were a cross between living in a closet sized frat house and being an inmate in a super max prison.

A chick I know used that as a spring board to the merchant marines. She ended up doing supply runs for the USN to the the ME making good hazard pay. They all set up residency in FL for cheap taxes. No rent, no bills and no place to spend your pay check. After 8 yrs she retired with a fat bank account and 2 houses paid for. She was a decent looking woman, I am guessing she probably banged a boat full of dudes every trip.
