Everyone has a different idea about what constitutes good food. For me, it's my mom's homemade clam chowder, or a piping hot piece of her meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes. Mmm-mmm!
I'm not one for over-the-top meals, but I definitely have a lot of respect for chefs who treat food like art and transform it into a rollercoaster of flavors for our taste buds. And for one foodie in particular, Imgur user Hoptail, it's a ride she cannot quit — no matter how much it costs.
She also mentions that during trips, like the one she took to San Fran, her favorite thing to do is treat herself to a meal at her destination's best restaurant.
For this particular food adventure, Hoptail ordered Saison's $600 meal-for-one. Yup, you read that right!
"A lot of people reckon I'm full of crap and can't afford something like this as a student. Sit down, I'm about to blow your mind... I saved up, yo."
Well, the meal started with a lemon water tea that was flavored by a bushel of douglas fir, yarrow, chamomile, lemon balm, anise, and hyssop — all freshly picked from the restaurant's farm.
Other dishes included turbot fish, fresh sea urchin, roasted pumpkin served three ways, and antelope — one of the few parts that didn't sit well with Hoptail.
However, one of the craziest things on the $600 menu was a serving of geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck), which is an extremely large clam found in the Pacific Northwest.
