They're not spending money they actually have. I know these people. Several of them are my friends. And not one of them is in debt for less than $30,000. And not one of them owns a car or apartment, either. I have two friends who've managed to get themselves in debt to the tune of six figures just by going out and trying to keep up with the Beautiful People. Sure, you can get your picture in the paper, but you can also be forced into bankruptcy or overseas to make some quick cash. How much fun is worth years of indentured servitude?

The prices charged in these boom-boom atmospheres are truly astonishing. Haughtiness sells very well. It remains a continual point of fascination to regard the sea of young faces eagerly paying upwards of $200 each for 'interesting' cuisine. Do these boys and girls work? Do they get up in the morning and step out the door to gainful employ, warmed by the sure knowledge that before their day is through they will spend princely sums just to dine? Fine dining is an art, yes, point conceded, but so is saving for the future, not to mention keeping physically fit by eating a light dinner. Pots more, undoubtedly, Judith.

Why then, in the name of pleasure, in the name of all that promotes good digestion, should chefs conduct their bloody rites in front of you? Although watching chefs at work can be instructive, restaurants are not cooking classes. [...] [...] Mr. Henry… Chefs are cantankerous.
