Steak 48 Restaurant going viral for policy change targeting black customers (allegedly)

[daddyfatsacks9000]

You’re not sounding very “Poor”.

You’re sounding like that 1% of BGOL that you’re speaking out against by the way that you’re judging the American Wagu and stating that these common folks “Fine Dining” ain’t shit but food for peasants.

No. I sound like a classically trained chef with 25+ yrs in the industry. I've work in kitchens of ALL levels, and trust me when I tell you, they all use the same ingredients, it's all the same Mexicans touching your $200 Wagu with their bare hands and scooping your $80 fried brussel sprouts w/ balsamic glaze appetizer out of a bucket. I speak from experience...

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

fuck them. I can make my own filet mignon and I make it better oh, and it's cheaper

no you don't bro ham
no you don't

 

[Coldchi]

I'm not even KINDA implying that...

If you can afford $500 meals, you ain't pressed for cash. I just know...and maybe I'm projecting the kinda chicks I used to date in the situation, but you'd be a VERRRRY popular mofo around here.

I would admit that Id have a lil issue with chicks expecting that, tho...

Curious..do they reciprocate?

i typically could care less to eat at that spot again......but my wife wanted to go......so the reservation was made a month in advance.
i wasn't trying to impress anybody, and honestly i could have eaten at Perry's or Morton's steakhouse for a lot cheaper.
but the same way i went there......i will also travel clear across town every week or two, to enjoy cuisine from a black owned establishment in the hood.

I could tell you were experienced by the way you spoke. You having 25+ years experience being a classically trained chef explained your angle.

You’re not in the 1% like the rest of us!

But thank you for the info!

I'm not trying to disrespect your grilling acumen.
I'm just speaking facts in the aging, preparation and the heat that they get in those infrared ovens they put those steaks in you just can't do it on the propane grill

that's not a disrespect to you that's just someone using thousands of dollars of equipment to achieve something

 

[the13thround]

that is the rich mufucka that owns all those restaurants and a world reknown chef.......

Who is he? If he doesn't have a spot in the A, he needs one, cuz mofos LOVE to floss like that.

Celebs reserve and dry age their steak weeks/months in advance at his restaurant

thats the one i had......Ottoman steak
that shit is huge.
however, they prepare everything medium rare. thats the only thing i dont like.
u get the steak quick, but have to end up sending it back to cook some more...(which takes about an extra 5 mins or so)
because if u order a steak (well done),...you will be waiting over an hour for it. so its best to just them do it medium rare, (which takes about 25 mins),
then have them send it back for an additional 5 or 10 and that shit be lit.

 

[TENT]

Some chicks do and some chicks don't.

The chicks I TRY to deal with are all spoiled and have their own money.

Their motto is, "I can pay for this myself. This is what I am used to".

I remember in when I was mad young going a date with a chick and she got mad that I ordered french fries instead of rice.

It changed how I looked at the world and how I move.

Right now I am broke as a joke and fucked up though.

I'm not even KINDA implying that...

I dont eat steak bro but eat it how they recommend, well done is a no no.

I remember being invited to an exclusive club and they served this hamburger that was cooked on the outside and raw in the center.

It was like a delicate balance.

I aint with that shit though. I would rather just eat the fish than ever fuck with an expensive steak .

[TENT]

Naw naw. Let me clarify. I do not do that alot.

What I am saying if when I do go on a date, I set my budget for $500, so when the bill comes I am not shocked.

Went to dinner 2 weeks ago with a chick who paid she works hard and makes $260k a year!

Wayyyyyyyyy more than me.

Where you think we going to eat? Somewhere expensive.

She ordered a bottle of wine and I was heated cause it was the most expensive bottle!

I made sure she drank all that shit.

Bill came out to $580 and I was cool with it cause I mentally prepared.

This mothafucka ain’t blinking at $500 dates.

Im having a seizure at $5. Life is funny like that.

 

[TENT]

How much was the total? Keep it real.

Online shopping killed malls

Bingo!!!!

 

[TENT]

Are these chicks dimes?
The chicks I am talking about are IG ready dude.
Like I am not bragging cause I am short and ugly but these chicks are top notch in looks.
Niggas is paying more than I do for less quality chicks. I have seen it.
Whenever I am on a date, I get hard looks from hating ass niggas. It never fails. Every time.

Feeding a chick.. first date, especially at dessert, was my go-to move.

If I did that and she took it...we was fuckin that nite.

 

[Day_Carver]

I am a sucka in your world I guess cause it is $500 the minimum and I dont even be fucking.
They expect it. $500 isn't a lot. It depends on who you with and the circle you in.

Wait Whatyou spending $500 on a date; shit she better be your wife or fiancee because that some bullshit!!; what kinda dates you going on....

 

[sinistercane]

I gotta ask, da fuq is a "fine dining experience"??? I eat to get full not so I can write about it or reminisce about how the food looked on the plate or how the waiter kissed my ass. Seems to me that the fine dining experience is just another empty hustle to make people feel exclusive and justify ridiculous phrases like "if you gotta ask, then you can't afford it". I can have my girl serve my favorite foods butt nekkit in the privacy of my own home with my favorite music and candlelight. I don't think Steak 48 could even come close. Now that's a "fine dining experience".

That's what minimum means..

So order another drink if that bothers you or go to a different establishment.


BTW

there are also places that automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill..

I really don't see the issue. If they are trying to make the dining experience exclusive and that isn't for you then don't go there.

You could always go to Golden Corral and get the cube steak

What if my bill’s only $78?

Are they going to add $22 to my bill for services or food that I did order or have?

Are they dimes? Bruh, I dated ALOT when I was out there...wayyy more than the average. But, I didn't just date dimes. I dated chicks I was into... sometimes I got fixed up on blind dates...cuz my brother's girl was always tryna fix me up with her friends...I'm the kinda dude who can enjoy dinner with just about anyone, at least once.

But I would say most that I fucked with were pretty cute..my dime might be your 7.

I'm curious...what do you mean by this..

"Niggas is paying more than I do for less quality chicks. I have seen it."

 

[ballscout1]

Certain clubs or events are known to have drink minimums, I’ve never heard of a restaurant having a minimum that patrons have to spend to eat there.

I’ve explained it as best as I can and most seem to get it. I don’t care how much it is, I don’t want a restaurant telling me the minimum that I have to spend to eat there.

In the past I’d go to steak houses and order the porterhouse for two…

Just for me, so I’m not worried about a price. I just don’t want you telling me how much I have to spend to eat there.

Then you don't go to many high-end restaurants.

These aren't the types of places I go to all the time and already know with their menus what I will be spending so the minimum doesn't mean much...Actually, I have never been close to the minimum when there has been one.

Just did STK in Atlanta on the 15th for my daughter's graduation dinner...

Shit ain't new and as I said they have been doing it for years for large parties.

They also added gratuities.

I'm jealous but I guess it was different eras.

I fucked a lot but didn't date much at all.

Some were dimes some were cute and some I would deny under questioning.

But was never interested in dating

You don’t get it so I’ll put it in the simplest terms so that you can understand.

It’s not the money, it’s the principle.

And yes I could go somewhere else, but I’ve never heard of the place so I wasn’t going there anyway.

Again it’s the principle, not the price.

If you can or can’t understand that we still have nothing else to discuss.

I literally explained to you what I order, a porterhouse for two.

A porterhouse for two is over $100, I’m not worried about meeting a minimum. I just don’t want to be told what I have to spend a certain amount and I don’t feel that others should either.

It’s really not that hard to understand. You don’t have a problem with minimums and I do.

No need to be jealous...sounds like you got what you were after...that's all that matters.

And yeah, I did alotta fuckin, too... especially on first dates.

That's why when dude was talking about spending $500 on a date, I was thinking that I used to date too much for that...even if she was paying.

A chick wanna spend that kinda money on a date, we need to be leaving town on a getaway.

 

[black again]

I guess I don't roll in some of y'all's circles..and I used to eat at fairly nice restaurants...dropping $40 on lunch at Chops or Bones, in ATL was pretty normal.

But is a minimum the thing now?

Back about 10..15 years ago, there was a restaurant way out in the burbs and they had some policy similar to that, to prevent kids from just locking down tables but not really ordering much.

This wasn't a nice restaurant by any stretch..btw. I went once and never went again. I'm opposed to someone telling me how much I gotta spend.

I go to restaurants to eat..get in and out. I ain't there to see who else is there..I ain't celeb watching...I don't wanna take pics...my girl used to wanna take a pic everywhere we went. She's finally cooled out with that. Now just on special occasions.

I've had GREAT dining experiences at the most basic spots..just be clean, good service, and make the one thing I want well.

if someone goes to a high end steak house and orders anything above medium they are wasting their money.

Trust me brother, an expanded world view is what brought me to this conclusion. I'm 50. I've traveled all over the world. Believe me the "fine dining experience" is highly overrated.

 

[Coldchi]

How much was the total? Keep it real.

it was around $500 or so.
2 Ottoman steaks
onion blossom, mashed potatoes,
2 glasses of water and 2 glasses of champagne
......oh yeah....the water aint free.....lol.
we skipped dessert.....they dont have much of a dessert menu. plus the pistachio ice cream was $100. so we passed on that.
