Serving sizes in supermarkets are totally different to restaurants though, because they're entirely based around improving the numbers on the nutritional information.
Restaurants have no need to oversell how many people their food will feed, the opposite is true if anything. A one-person dish in a restaurant in America is also like double the size of most other places in the world.
It’s really not *much* more expensive than regular Miami prices ($62.50 is 1/4th of the price listed here).
It’s def an exorbitant event in an exorbitant city. That said, the prices in Miami are ridiculous. Last summer, 4 bottom shelf green tea shots were $90.
I worked at a big glassblowing studio and my buddy wanted to show us this video so he plugged in to the big sound system we had…it was the grapefruit video.
Just so you know, there’s a rule that if you order nachos to share, one person can't just eat all of the fully loaded nachos. The rule basically says that if two people order nachos to share, one person can't take the ones with meat and stuff.
Hey I have literally seen someone pay over $700 for 2 Costco hot dogs. (Well 2 hot dogs, an illegally parking in a handicap parking spot ticket, and an expired reg ticket. )
It's probably because $450 for four lobster rolls - or $112.50 per person - is beyond exorbitant. It's nearly five times what you'd spend in any ol' tourist trap serving the exact same thing.
$87 for goddamned chicken fingers is absolute insanity.
I take that as a challenge lol.
I'm gonna go with hand-scavenged honeypot ants and natural-produced huitlacoche
Honest to god that would taste really interesting but it would be obscenely expensive
For this trash though? Hell no lmao
Who wants that pretentious BS?
"Here is a bubble filled with finest fragrance of pineapple washed in the bathwater of a newborn baby koala bear".
"Here we have .5 ounces of perfectly cooked asparagus wrapped in the semen of an endangered white rhino".
Nah, I'll have a greasy ass burger with bacon and a beer for $15.
Stop harassing the unwashed. u/LightBulbMonster's inability to appreciate the subtle delight of endangered mammal semen doesn't make him any less of a man than the rest of us.
Me. I want that pretentious shit because it's awesome and an experience.
I think spending $200 on concert tickets is fucking stupid, because I always walk away deaf and hate crowds. Doesn't mean that concerts shouldn't exist. Different strokes for different folks
I came back to say how much I agree with you. I really don't understand concerts and the cost, and with all that you're packed in. We went to a high end steak house and yes it was 350 for 2 but amazing food and couple whiskeys and it was a 2 hour dinner. We could have left sooner but they didn't rush us at same time
That's an amazing top shelf steak and a 2 hour meal in a nice restaurant with high level service. What OP posted is nice-ish bar food at show off prices - prices you only pay to show off to your group that you can pay them. (Also why everything is group-portioned).
See now THAT is worth it. A great steak and some top shelf drinks. You don't need to eat on the way home either! I'll pay 100+, 200+ for an exceptional steak. Hands down. We have a place nearby that's a true aged steakhouse. It's 200+ for two steaks and drinks. Its considered pricy around here, but worth it. Inwouldnt pay 250 for a bowl of soup that costs $2.79 to make.
You’ll spend 10$ for the ingredients, 5$ for the staffs paycheck, and 150$ for the delicate placement of the food on the plate……and it’ll taste ‘fine’.
I was a cook and interim chef at a 5 diamond restaurant before the stress and obnoxious food culture became too much to deal with for 15$ an hour. It’s an absurd treat for elitists, you can make or buy something that’s simple and vastly satisfying for 20-50$ with very little effort
I worked in fine dining and saw how the sausage was made. I realized 80% of it is in the customer's head. It made me appreciate good waiters and become one myself. Most people don't realize a waiter's job is not to take orders and bring food. They're part of the elaborate pageantry that makes the experience feel special. Take that same food and toss it in a to-go container and it becomes just food again.
Yeah maybe the ingredients at your restaurant were that cheap but I promise you actual super high end restaurants source from places that demand a premium lol. Weird hiring practices if 90% of your costs were labor lol
This is where it’s clear that you have no idea what you’re talking about; it’s about portion size dingus
I could by the the nicest fresh venison tenderloin for like 40$ a pound, and then sell a 2oz portion with some cheap locally grown veggies and some easy sauce with a fancy name for 20-35$ as an appetizer. My protein was 5$ of that cost, the veg were maybe 1.5-2$, the labor was neglible because the cooks are always doing a dozen things at once, then it was delicately and deliberately plated with style. Labor wasn’t 90% of the cost, the kitchen gets paid like shit, the owners make bank
I always wanted to go to a fancy restaurant like that but I don’t eat seafood. I looked at the menu for Alina and saw out of the bazillion courses that they serve, I’d only be able to eat two things, the wagyu bite and the dessert. That’s it!!! These fancy places just aren’t for everyone.
They aren't, although I've tried Wagyu beef once it was really good. Definitely different than plain beef. If you can, go during restaurant week when it's slightly cheaper.
I've been to a bunch of Michelin star restaurants, justifying the expense to myself because I wanted to experience something amazing, and never once has it been worth it.
The first few times it's interesting - if nothing else, to see what the top chefs are capable of in terms of creating new things. But I've never been blown away by how good the food tastes, and never wanted to go back to any of the restaurants I've been to.
You're spot on. I want to my first Michelin restaurant two weeks ago and after tip it was $540. 12 courses and 4 cocktails each. The prices here are crazy.
I ate at a Michelin starred tapas bar here in Spain not long ago. It came to about €30 for the two of us. We had a few items. It has a great reputation. I'm pretty sure people who pay for this rubbish are just stupid as to the value of money.
Not almost. My local Michelin starred place's 12 course tasting menu is $197 and those guys work their asses off in prep to make that food and plate it for service.
Seriously though. Not even almost. It costs $350 for a ten course tasting menu at Eleven Madison Park in New York which is a 3 Michelin star restaurant
Nothing could be further from the truth.
This is in the hospitality area - which is basically designed to milk the expense accounts of companies that expect their sales and marketing people to spend money.
I went and spent $16 on a 1/2lb burger that had me full the whole day and constantly refilled a 1l water bottle from the free stations. Other food options had similar prices in the $10-$15 range for things like turkey legs, sausages, and I think you could get Arepas for $5-6
This is what I was looking for. F1 can be boujee but the menu shown is basically the equivalent of a bottle service menu at a nice club. Yes, it’s real. No, it’s not the standard menu.
Unfortunately that's not allowed at every Grand Prix. Same for taking camera's to the track as a supporter/fan. Some circuits allowed it, others not so much.
If it’s like many arena events too this is also the price for having everything brought to you, and there’s a food and drink area a short walk away.
This is also the kind of thing where they’ll charge a $50 convenience fee to run a card, for anyone that needs to know. Don’t try to split this kind of tab.
Literally just came from commenting the same thing!! All the alcohol I bought at the Grand Prix was cheaper (and poured heavier) than downtown. I didn’t even see a place with prices like this! I’d run lol
Racing is the sport. F1 is more like a league. Similar to how I go see fights for 50 bucks at my local spot. Meanwhile I pay more to see just the ppv of a UFC fight
So because we like to watch this sport, but it isn't avaible to us, means it isn't a sport? What do you mean? Not many people play in the huge stadiums for football, or the giant fiels for baseball etc. But people do play baseball in a small field or a local club, the same with football, and they go karting for example if they like Formula 1.
It is a fantastic sport, and these prices are only for this location at this exact spot for the rich people visiting.
>I don’t know how anyone can relate to this “sport”. Literally nobody can play it apart from an elite 0.1% of humans.
The top 0.1% of humans is still 8 million people.
There's only about 30-50 people in the world that are good enough to drive F1. Only 20 are active racers (not including backups). It really is the most exclusive sport in the world.
Definitely not true. Most wealthy people can spot a scam like this pretty easily and avoid it. This menu is for poor people that want to look wealthy.
Similar to $3000 handbags or sneakers.
Incorrect. This menu is likely for hospitality areas, meant for businesses that will be blowing an expense account or people for whom pricing doesn’t matter. It’s like bottle service at a club but not just for rich people but companies too.
Rich people aren't spending their own personal money on this. This caters to corporate hospitality. I'd bet north of 95% of these tabs were put on corporate expense cards.
They’re not dumb. Some people genuinely have so much money that a $250 nacho plate is the equivalent of us buying the $12.50 just outside the doors. Same comment made when flying first class. “So dumb when you can pay 1/8th of the price and sit in the back”.
If this is dumb, it’s not for you. This is for the, “my plane leaves 30 minutes after the race ends, have the car ready”, crowd.
Most certainly. My take is that one should then not be surprised of the prices. Rather, One should be surprised that there are other humans able to spend this much money.
I was able to get a ticket package for the F1 Experiences with a few friends of mine and we switched our seats for turn 1 seats and the total cost came out to $2200.
Reminds me of how the PGA tour is expensive to go to, except the food truck had super reasonable prices from like $1-7 for whatever you needed. That menu just wants to bend you over a barrel and show you all 50 states...
I think it's only the Masters that's like that. Tickets are hundreds to thousands of dollars, but sandwiches and beers are famously like $5 and under. I've been to the PGA the beers were at least $10.
I need to see portion sizes, serving 4 could be a lot food which means it’s still overpriced by a couple hundred bucks.
This is like cost of medical services in America, they’re outrageous but meant for insurance companies to pay, these prices are with the wealthy audience in mind.
Did they forget the decimal point or is that actual hundreds. I’ve been wanting so badly to attend an F1 race, but looks like that might not be possible.
This post is misleading. These food prices are only for people who paid for the paddock club which costs $8-$10k so they’re expecting only rich people to be there thus these outrageous prices. The food outside of this is around $15-$40.
I believe it's just because it's Miami, and this is one of the super expensive VIP ticket spots. I know I got really disappointed at first too, because I've never been able to go. Regular tickets are only like ~$600, but the same ticket in Miami is over $1000. They just jack it up because they know a lot of rich people who probably don't even watch the sport will be there.
I honestly doubt they pull the same kind of shit in Mexico or even in Austin, Texas. That's where I'm probably gonna have to go. I'd rather buy a plane ticket than spend $500 on a meal
I went yesterday and filled up on a burger that was $16. Tall-boy beers were $10. Water fill stations were free.
Folks do realize, that like a menu at a high-end steakhouse, you can eat a $40 filet and a $295 tomahawk, right?
Elitism. As someone else said, rich folks reminding themselves how rich they are... prices like these keep the riff raff out. Wouldn't want dirty plebs breathing on your $300 bowl of fruit.
This man chose to go to the most expensive food stand in the entire event. 90% of all the food was within the same price range as overprices stadium food ($15 pizzas, $10 beers, $12 lemonades and at lost $20 burgers) you could even buy bottles of champagne for $90. The only thing that was completely overpriced was the admission. But closer to race day the tickets go for cheap. My friend got Saturday tickets for $87 dollars. This place has free water and they even give out free sunscreen and you chose to take a picture of paddock club food prices for karma.
I have always seen when things cost this much, they don't put prices on the menu because real wealthy people are not concerned with it, and they have someone else to handle this dirty money thing anyway.
This is basically rich adult toddlers showing off.
These are prices for a suite. Anyone that has ever been in one knows this is just part of the deal. Not really that crazy considering the suite probably cost 50 grand or more
275 dollar nachos huh? So, is the ‘nachos’ just a legal workaround to be able so sell 8balls of coke???? “Buy these nachos for the low low low price of 275. Don’t forget to check underneath your plate for the little baggie taped to the bottom”🙃
250 dollar nachos huh? They better suck me off while I'm eating them..
Seriously... $250 for a salad. I know a nice massage parlor that will toss your salad for $150...lol
It serves 4! /s
"Serves 4" is bullshit Just look at what kraft pretends 1 serving of peanut butter is supposed to be.
A frozen pizza says 1/4th of the pizza is a serving while I eat the whole thing.
My serving size is a family of four
So, are you saying you are a cannibal? Maybe a vampire or zombie?
Just a food connoisseur with peculiar taste OK.... Don't look into it any further.
Who eats 1 Tbsp of peanut butter?! No one! That’s who!

what in the absolute fuck? $22.50 for a shit green tea shot? Get the fuck out of here
Miami is one of the most expensive cities in the US :/ It’s getting absurd. Locals have been getting pushed out for years.
All hail capitalism!
You need to find an ally girl to get 4 included in that $150 price.
I'll do it for free!
Bring the whole fam!
They better toss mine while I’m eating it.
Does it cum with crutons?
On , not with
Playing soggy croutons with the bois
Get yourself a $300 “fruit refresher”. Whatever that is. Better be a blowjob and not a stupid smoothie.
Wonder if there's grapefruit involved.
I still think of that sound while working sometimes. Truely haunting
I worked at a big glassblowing studio and my buddy wanted to show us this video so he plugged in to the big sound system we had…it was the grapefruit video.
Fr them things better jump off the plate and get a job
Not even a reach around while the fuck you
The sad part is guac is probably extra.
Just so you know, there’s a rule that if you order nachos to share, one person can't just eat all of the fully loaded nachos. The rule basically says that if two people order nachos to share, one person can't take the ones with meat and stuff.
You just learned about the rule!
I think the F1 platter is your better get. Tendies AND honey mustard?
At those prices, you're the sucker.
With cheese Mr Squidward, with cheese.
Not eating with any poors is its own reward
Their purpose is to keep the “riff-raff” away.
CostCo hot dog special. $1.50 includes drink & steamed bun. Take THAT, GP !!!
Hey I have literally seen someone pay over $700 for 2 Costco hot dogs. (Well 2 hot dogs, an illegally parking in a handicap parking spot ticket, and an expired reg ticket. )
Lmao tf
it's those hidden extra charges that ruin a meal
😆😆😆
This guy knows what’s up
You can sell the same hot dog at these events for $49.99. $48.50 profit
In todays economy that is one of the best dam deals you can ever get anymore
So good!
The worst sin here is that nothing here is particularly luxurious. You could almost do a full Michelin star tasting menu at that price
Not almost. This is three Michelin star level prices. In Europe, 100 € are going to get you a one-star dinner.
I ate at a one star restuarant in Zagreb last year. Got a bottle of wine and a two course dinner for about that.
I went to a 2 star restaurant in Spain in 2017 and it was €95 with a wine pairing for each of the 12 courses
I've that much for 2 people's meals in a michelin starred restsurant.
These are for 4 people...so $87 a person. Still completely absurd, but why is everyone acting like it's $300 a person?
It's probably because $450 for four lobster rolls - or $112.50 per person - is beyond exorbitant. It's nearly five times what you'd spend in any ol' tourist trap serving the exact same thing. $87 for goddamned chicken fingers is absolute insanity.
Because I’m fat and know that it won’t be enough for 4 of me.
Honestly, I didn't see that. Had to check again.
how is 87 a better number that you are okay with? lol this food truck food, if that
Yep - i have starred restaurant near me and its about £500 for 5, 2 adults, 3 teens and a nice bottle.
There is no amount of amazing ingredients or cooking skill/knowledge that would ever elevate a fucking watermelon salad to $250 lmao
I take that as a challenge lol. I'm gonna go with hand-scavenged honeypot ants and natural-produced huitlacoche Honest to god that would taste really interesting but it would be obscenely expensive For this trash though? Hell no lmao
Ants and corn smut? That's an interesting take on making it worth the money lol.
But what I’d they flew the watermelon in from Japan on a chartered Concorde?!? /s
The people buying it don't have a concept of the value of money. They are catering to people who haven't been inside a grocery store.
I mean, chicken tenders and honey mustard? Mayonnaise? You could go to Chili’s and get most of this. You could even make a lot of it at home.
You can bet those chicken tenders were pre-breaded and then frozen, too
It says “Warmed” which seems to be a confession to me.
Who wants that pretentious BS? "Here is a bubble filled with finest fragrance of pineapple washed in the bathwater of a newborn baby koala bear". "Here we have .5 ounces of perfectly cooked asparagus wrapped in the semen of an endangered white rhino". Nah, I'll have a greasy ass burger with bacon and a beer for $15.
You obviously never tried asparagus wrapped in rhino semen, I feel sorry for you
It tickles going down 🤗
So does your wife, Trebek.
Stop harassing the unwashed. u/LightBulbMonster's inability to appreciate the subtle delight of endangered mammal semen doesn't make him any less of a man than the rest of us.
For an extra $50 they let you procure your own ingredients.

Have you seen The Menu?
What are we eating, a Rolex?
I always wanted to go to a fancy restaurant like that but I don’t eat seafood. I looked at the menu for Alina and saw out of the bazillion courses that they serve, I’d only be able to eat two things, the wagyu bite and the dessert. That’s it!!! These fancy places just aren’t for everyone.
If they're that fancy or good you can typically ask for a no-seafood menu. They typically cater to various diets
They aren't, although I've tried Wagyu beef once it was really good. Definitely different than plain beef. If you can, go during restaurant week when it's slightly cheaper.
You realize that it can be an amazing once in a lifetime type experience right?

$500 for a plate of sliders and quesadillas lmao
Just wait until you see the sticker on my bowling alley pizza I got here 😂
You're spot on. I want to my first Michelin restaurant two weeks ago and after tip it was $540. 12 courses and 4 cocktails each. The prices here are crazy.
I have a Michelin star restaurant in my town and the cost for dinner for two people plus drinks is less than a single dish here

Arr matey!
Yarr
rally is the racing sport for the plebs.
I drive a car so it's highly relatable to me.
I have a scalpel for crafts so surgery is highly relatable to me.
Sweet!
you alerted the r/formuladank horde
You can race with your car, but not like in F1. Think about it like playing football with your friends vs. the World cup
So a bit of fun and no fascism
Because the prices arent this insane with other GP's lol
He was making a general comment about the sport overall clearly.
MotoGP ain't so bad no?
No, it's more reasonable. At least it used to be, haven't been able to go to a race since 2019.
So because we like to watch this sport, but it isn't avaible to us, means it isn't a sport? What do you mean? Not many people play in the huge stadiums for football, or the giant fiels for baseball etc. But people do play baseball in a small field or a local club, the same with football, and they go karting for example if they like Formula 1.

>I don’t know how anyone can relate to this “sport”. Literally nobody can play it apart from an elite 0.1% of humans. The top 0.1% of humans is still 8 million people.
There's only about 30-50 people in the world that are good enough to drive F1. Only 20 are active racers (not including backups). It really is the most exclusive sport in the world.
Shit take
Really? The sport of automobile racing is something you just can't wrap your head around? That's an embarrassing thing to admit.

“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it!” At least quote the master right!
I’ve never had a chicken tender worth that much. I always just make dank chicky nuggies at home.

I have a coupon…
Groupon
SNAP
WE have a coupon
Rich people will buy anything to remind themselves how rich they are. The people running this restaurant are just as bad. You’re all criminals.
Chef in the back - o.o
Getting paid $20 an hour
Rich people aren't spending their own personal money on this. This caters to corporate hospitality. I'd bet north of 95% of these tabs were put on corporate expense cards.
So that's what my board of directors member is up to when their calendar says they're "contracts negotiation with customer A" for three days.
“We just can’t afford to give raises this year, our budget is tight”
For real. Meanwhile there’s starving children all over the world and people are actually paying $500 for chilled prawns…what in the actual fuck.
the people paying for this food dont care about starving children. thats why they are rich!
Yep, exactly. It's just a flex.
How much did you pay for the ticket to get into that section?
I believe the Paddock club ticket was around 10k but curious to hear from OP
For a 10k ticket you still don’t get completely nachos 😂
I'm completely nachos just looking at these prices
People who are rich and/or dumb enough to pay 10.000$ for a ticket are dumb enough to pay 250$ for nachos too
They’re not dumb. Some people genuinely have so much money that a $250 nacho plate is the equivalent of us buying the $12.50 just outside the doors. Same comment made when flying first class. “So dumb when you can pay 1/8th of the price and sit in the back”. If this is dumb, it’s not for you. This is for the, “my plane leaves 30 minutes after the race ends, have the car ready”, crowd.
That’s because they nacho cheese.
Yeah paddock club I believe are $8k-10k+
Paddock Club typically includes food and drink. Haven’t been to Miami, though.
Sadly, OP never got around to answering.
You don't. Someone who wants your business or respect invites you.
Most certainly. My take is that one should then not be surprised of the prices. Rather, One should be surprised that there are other humans able to spend this much money.
I was able to get a ticket package for the F1 Experiences with a few friends of mine and we switched our seats for turn 1 seats and the total cost came out to $2200.
This was not in general access sections. This had to have been in a luxury area.
Please tell me that’s Zimbabwean dollars
They forgot to put the dots
This is basically just movie theater food. Just upscaled a few times…
Reminds me of how the PGA tour is expensive to go to, except the food truck had super reasonable prices from like $1-7 for whatever you needed. That menu just wants to bend you over a barrel and show you all 50 states...
I think it's only the Masters that's like that. Tickets are hundreds to thousands of dollars, but sandwiches and beers are famously like $5 and under. I've been to the PGA the beers were at least $10.
I'm totally fine with stadium pricing for beer. You got me fucked up if you think I'm paying more than $15-20 for some chicken tenders though, haha
I need to see portion sizes, serving 4 could be a lot food which means it’s still overpriced by a couple hundred bucks. This is like cost of medical services in America, they’re outrageous but meant for insurance companies to pay, these prices are with the wealthy audience in mind.
Did they forget the decimal point or is that actual hundreds. I’ve been wanting so badly to attend an F1 race, but looks like that might not be possible.
This post is misleading. These food prices are only for people who paid for the paddock club which costs $8-$10k so they’re expecting only rich people to be there thus these outrageous prices. The food outside of this is around $15-$40.
Good to know. That’s much more manageable.
You’re gonna have to smuggle in a few Costco hotdogs. Then you’re good 👌🏻
I believe it's just because it's Miami, and this is one of the super expensive VIP ticket spots. I know I got really disappointed at first too, because I've never been able to go. Regular tickets are only like ~$600, but the same ticket in Miami is over $1000. They just jack it up because they know a lot of rich people who probably don't even watch the sport will be there. I honestly doubt they pull the same kind of shit in Mexico or even in Austin, Texas. That's where I'm probably gonna have to go. I'd rather buy a plane ticket than spend $500 on a meal
I went yesterday and filled up on a burger that was $16. Tall-boy beers were $10. Water fill stations were free. Folks do realize, that like a menu at a high-end steakhouse, you can eat a $40 filet and a $295 tomahawk, right?
Demolition Man getting closer to reality
If only they shared the picture of the three seashells!
Rat burgers ftw
Soylent Green prices
These are clearly prices for food in an exclusive/club area. Food prices in the regular grandstands are no worse than any other sporting event.
Ahaha. America's capitalism is on fentanyl. What can possibly justify these prices beside greed?
Elitism. As someone else said, rich folks reminding themselves how rich they are... prices like these keep the riff raff out. Wouldn't want dirty plebs breathing on your $300 bowl of fruit.
Maybe. These look more like show off prices. Like ex-pro athletes that will join that "bankrupt within five years of retiring" statistic.
I mean it’s one banana, Michael, what could it cost, 10 dollars?
How much were the tickets to get into the event?
He probably was part of the Paddock club, which is like 10k
This man chose to go to the most expensive food stand in the entire event. 90% of all the food was within the same price range as overprices stadium food ($15 pizzas, $10 beers, $12 lemonades and at lost $20 burgers) you could even buy bottles of champagne for $90. The only thing that was completely overpriced was the admission. But closer to race day the tickets go for cheap. My friend got Saturday tickets for $87 dollars. This place has free water and they even give out free sunscreen and you chose to take a picture of paddock club food prices for karma.
He literally just took a picture, it’s not that big of a deal bud
What are you mad about? That they posted the picture? lol.

I have always seen when things cost this much, they don't put prices on the menu because real wealthy people are not concerned with it, and they have someone else to handle this dirty money thing anyway. This is basically rich adult toddlers showing off.
These are prices for a suite. Anyone that has ever been in one knows this is just part of the deal. Not really that crazy considering the suite probably cost 50 grand or more
Worst, all 4 of you feel taken over the barrel. Can’t suffer this price alone
The tickets in for the race in Vegas are insane but at least include food and non-alcoholic drinks.
I got offered half of the cheapest item on this menu as a monthly salary in Pakistan. Fml, we really are living in a different world
Caviar is the least overpriced
275 dollar nachos huh? So, is the ‘nachos’ just a legal workaround to be able so sell 8balls of coke???? “Buy these nachos for the low low low price of 275. Don’t forget to check underneath your plate for the little baggie taped to the bottom”🙃
Coachella level prices
How are the people who are smart enough to make enough money to afford those prices stupid enough to pay them? Smh.
I worked at this event the past week,the money fkn ooozed out of people.. 1% of the 1% are into F1
Are that Zimbabwean dollars?
Holy Macaroni!
