You're about 5 years late to the party. And, it's actually pretty good tasting. Who doesn't like a decent avacado or guac? The bread is just a delivery vehicle.

You're so anti-trend you fall in to the anti-trend trend.

Think for yourself, child.

The basis for that is that you'll get a full meal out of those small bites.
So $300 for a full meal's worth of tapas.

While $300 is a stiff price, its an art experience.
Thats about the price of some high end concert tickets.

How is allowing yourself or your guests to be ripped off and being a sucker enough to pay for that an art?

Because its about appreciating the craftsmenship that goes into the dishes. That some tradesman has worked hard to make the best meals that they can.
You don't go to restaurants like that often, but you treat it like a special occasion.

Its only a rip-off if you can get as good of food for less.

Maybe, generally though people go to those expensive hoity toit places to stand in line and be seen for family or a girlfriend. I'd never bother with that just for myself, there's no point when I can do better on my own.

I wouldn't take or tell anyone to go to a restaurant like that unless I knew they really loved food.
Otherwise its just burning money for no reason.
They have to be a definite 'foodie' or whatever for me to think that at all a good choice.

You don't take someone that doesn't care about music to the front row of a concert, you know?
They won't appreciate it.

For something like that, you might as well go to a hibachi or the like.
Make it an actual party and let it be pretty cheap in comparison while you're at it.

Specific personal taste is different than being a tard who is against something generally considered tasty, good, and easy just for the sake of being "different."
