The most expensive meal I ever had was after my high school graduation at the best steak house in my town. There was 8 or 9 of us and the bill (after tip and tax) came to around $1200.
But the meal was worth every penny. My parents and I had been there once before, a couple years before that, and the staff at that time were the same people working there the second time we went. Our server even recognized us. The service was absolutely amazing and the food was even better.

Pen & Teller did one of their "Bull****" episodes on fancy foods. They made crap from tin cans into fancy meals and served them in a fancy setting and embellished the descriptions - people fell for it - supposed gourmet connisours - thought it was delicious! Hillarious.

It is funny you should mention that. "America's Test Kitchen" did an episode where the tested various steaks- from the really cheap one at your grocery to some that you order online and cost over $140. They found that the best was midrange in price- around $40. It was really interesting.
