Dang. :drooling:

I've seen pics of those cattlemen feeding their cattle beer and giving 'em massages to move that "succulent fat" throughout the steer's tissues...

Painstaking to say the least, but the result..... :bonk: :bonk:

As the article mentions..if you venture there for lunch you can have the EXACT same luxurious beef at 1/3 the price....around 30 USD....more than worthwhile...a steal in fact, my friend. ;)

Torturer!! :banghead:

Just before lunch too. My bread roll isn't going to taste very good now :(

Yow.

Why so much cheaper at lunch? What's the catch?

I can't explain it....but it's a well known fact in Tokyo (and most likely Japan at large) if there is ever a restaurant you wish to dine at...it's usually 1/2 half or 1/3 the price for lunch as compared to dinner....this is par for the course.

Dinner is always a far more expensive affair than lunch...perhaps it's an ode to the throngs of Japan's salarymen and OL's....an act of sympathy to the soldiers of the Japanese industrialized economy.

You might even notice this trend with regard to those restaurants that are showcased during the Shin Dotch Cooking Show....they show some amazing Japanase cuisine that is unbelievably cheap.

Hmm, sounds like the strategy is to load up big time at lunch and save some big bucks in the process. :beaten:

Most definitely...if one is to ever visit Japan and wishes to try a particular restaurant....if they open for lunch and you eat there...you will save some serious cash in doing so.

Actually I believe that's because dining out in the evening is mostly related to business entertainment - the company picks up the bill. Therefore everyone - the restauranteer and the salarymen - makes the most of it. The lunch time discount is to fill the restaurant up during the day and pay rent, utilities etc.

I wish my company would pick up my dinner tab... I'd be going to town big time. :mrgreen:

I need to stop coming to this thread if I ever want to lose weight.

Yes, that makes rational sense.

Haha....I can't say I have any idea what Anime Daddy is referring to either...the only thing that comes to mind are those Japanese style breads that are flavored with various ingredients....such as a melon pan, a curry pan, and the like.

Looks like a dinner roll or what we would call a dinner roll...who gives hoot, it's bread in the end.
