Does going out for a $100 dinner really taste that much better?
If you go to Morton's Steak House and order dinner, they will ask you if you want to order a "Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake" for dessert because it is baked to order and takes 40 minutes to make. I said to myself, "That sounds amazing!" It wasgood, and don't get me wrong, but I believe that being told it would be good paired with the high price tag nearly forced my taste buds into liking it.The same goes for movies, too. We have all had a friend tell us how a movie they just saw was "THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!" So when you go to see it, your expectations are so high and in the end, you feel like the movie was just "okay," which may not have happened had the bar not been set so high in your mind in the first place.
With food, the opposite is true. You get dressed up, go to a nice restaurant that everyone says is amazing, and pay a lot for your meal. You tell yourself that the food is great, because you want it to be.
Is food the same when you cook it at home, or is the taste associated with the price tag?
