Eating out has become comically expensive in Seattle, we went to get farewell dinner for Kailash bro this evening and ended up paying fifty five buckaroos per person at a very regular Thai restaurant.
And that ends up working out well because it's not just the Italian or French restaurants that are expensive now, all ethnic food is hella pricey around here. Like, $25 entrees at middle-of-the-road Thai places, $30 entrees at Indian restaurants, etc. So the class/race/price disparity between different international cuisine will have disappeared by the end of this run, Asian/Chinese/Indian food won't be the affordable food for the poor, racial/class assumptions associated with food will have disappeared.
Sucks for people who actually want to eat affordable food and go out, but in the long run maybe it'll have positive repercussions? One can hope!
