$400 is ridiculous unless this is like the last meal of your life.
You could say the same about byb.
@paranoidgarliclover is right. No one used the word normal except for byb.
This is the closest a comment came to “normalizing” $400 meals and really it’s just stating facts. $400 meals exist, and they exist because there is a market.
In my opinion, if $400 is outside your budget or comfort level or calculation in spending for food, then you should simply not go. But to say that $400 amount is “ridiculous” shows that you are out of touch with the realities and economics of fine dining (and the discussion). If the price was absurd to everyone, then it would not exist.
