   I can imagine the china designed in a Fabergé fashion and stuff like that… very beautiful.

   Wow, that’s absurd. Any place that can make Silicon Valley seem cheap is too expensive.

   Photo geek observation: The waiter just caught the 3rd glass from right as it almost fell over (streaks and blur to left of it)?

   Port geek observation: wrong glasses. Was this just a suggestive display? And where are the toasted walnuts and stilton?

   Nice video of this opulent setting here – reveals the two tier circular/ovoid layout. The strange echoing laugh near the beginning makes it feel like part of a Kubrick movie: Barry Lyndon meets Eyes Wide Shut.

   I think if I were paying those prices I’d want the port to come in a glass that size. The walnuts are being toasted tableside in a solid gold Weber grill. Don’t know about the stilton.

   Hamburger (plain, meat/bread) …………… $ 185
   Extra cheese slice ……………………………….. $ 40
   Extra onion ring ……………………………………. $25

   Fries (5 sticks/portion) ………………………… $55

   (the worst thing is that I am not being funny, I am trying to make a good guess out of the prices he mentioned…)
