Guest Blog: What It's Like To...Spend a HunDo a Plate

While I'm on vacation in Costa Rica, some of my friends have volunteered to step in with guest blogs on the theme "What It's Like to...." Hope you enjoy! Buenos dias! :)

Today's blog is going to be sort of short and sweet....it's written by Little Brother, so would you really expect anything else?  A little reminder--for their wedding present, I got them a gift card to the fanciest steakhouse in Vegas, Prime in the Bellagio.  I'm much more into spending money on experiences rather than material things (jewelry coming in a little blue box with a white bow is an exception!) 

Anyway, after getting hilarious text messages from him saying he didn't know what to do and he couldn't believe this place, I knew a blog was in order.  And so....here is Little Brother's thoughts on what it's like to spend a HunDo (hundred dollars) a plate on dinner!

 As you know we got married in Vegas a couple weeks ago.

Tiff got us a gift card to the Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio. Most of the time the fanciest place we eat is a Chili’s or Olive Garden so this was really out of our experience level. We got all dressed up and headed that way.

We walked in to the place and there was a sign that said “Jackets Preferred” well I didn’t wear a coat just a cowboy hat starched shirt and I got real wild and broke out the slacks. Lindsay rocked a long dress so she was kinda in with the fashion unlike me I was the only one in boots and a hat. They sat us in a dark back corner (due to our lack of reservation) and left us a wine menu and I flipped through it and they had a bottle of wine for $58k. The waiter came over and I couldn’t hear him ‘cause he talked so low. The look we got when we ordered our drinks was priceless; I guess they don’t hear you order a jack and 7 or a crown and water too often.

We got an appetizer of bacon wrapped shrimp. Then the main course came a Lindsay got salmon and a side of sautéed mushrooms.  {Note from Tiff:  I send her to the best freaking STEAK house in Vegas and she orders fish?  And not even fancy fish...the kind that you can buy in a can and make into patties?} I had a dry aged bone in rib eye with herb mashed potatoes and a side of steamed asparagus. The steak was by far the best steak I had ever eaten in my life.

It was worth the 70 bucks but just barely.
