Expensive Eats

Forbes' Top 10 Priciest Restaurants

When my good friend Steve Forbes and Uncle Warren (Buffet) and I get together to decide how we are going to manipulate the price of Dr. Scholl's foot pads, we like to eat. Uncle Warren didn't get that name by chance, you know. So Steve put together the 10 most expensive restaurants in the U.S. and ran a little blurb on his website.

Implications - Some of the fantastic eateries include Alinea in Chicago, Joel Robuchon At The Mansion in Las Vegas and The French Room in Dallas. The images within the gallery feature the exquisite interior and exterior of these fancy restaurants. Tables are adorned with wine glasses, flowers and perfectly folded napkins.
