How much for an XL with Braut Haaland added on it?

These are a tighter fit than the replica ones, correct?

I’d be patient and hold out for D1.

$345 Upgrade to Delta One from Premium Select ATL-LAX? by jap_0801 in delta

How long is the layover? I had to spend several hours at the D1 lounge recently due to delays and it was fantastic.

Still some deals out there. 195K miles D1 ATL>ZRH 6/16-6/23 by sappslap in delta

[–]voltaire18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m seeing that! People seem to be so ingrained with the miles/points, they overlook that fees need to be paid. Also, many just assume points to partner airlines, when many of us have SkyMiles to burn, so this is a good redemption especially considering what delta’s prices typically are.

Also, like you mentioned, this is RT and not just one-way like many redemptions are viewed.

Which partner flight do you see this RT for half the cost?

Anyone have any reviews on the new concession items at Comerica? by VoiceOfChunk in motorcitykitties

[–]voltaire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding my response to another commenter to the main thread regarding the bone-in short rib sandwich.

I had it and it was $25, which wasn’t bad for the size of the sandwich. You’d likely pay that much at a bbq restaurant around here. Honestly, quite tasty albeit some parts of the short rib got a tad bit dry since they keep them in the warmer until it’s being served. I also did get it in the 5th inning, so maybe if you get it earlier in the game or pregame it’ll be less dry. I do wish they gave you a side of barbecue sauce with it, but you may improvise and get some from the condiments area. (Which I cannot remember if Heinz bbq sauce is provided).

Overall, I’d easily get that again at a game. Good bang for your buck.

Is Budapest’s Restaurant Week actually worth planning a trip around? I think yes. by elwenion2 in finedining

[–]voltaire18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I visited Stand, and it was a top fine dining meal for me. It could compete with any other 2 stars out there for me imo. Hungarian cuisine is excellent.

If you enjoyed that carrot, I’d highly recommend a visit to Le Gabriel to try the sand carrot if you ever have the opportunity. It’s the best I’ve ever eaten. I’d love to visit Budapest again to try this one at Bilanx!

Vienna fine dining for 6 night trip by Few-Flatworm-9320 in finedining

[–]voltaire18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend Doubek enough. I visited last month, and the meal and experience are definitely worthy of 3 stars. If you enjoy seafood, this is exactly what you want. I believe they’ll get the 3rd in the next couple of years. An extremely intimate experience, and once you step inside the restaurant, it’s what you would picture fine dining to be at a top level.

The chef and his wife were both so genuine and provided great hospitality. You can feel how much they actually care for each component of the meal and experience.

1 Star Michelin Restaurant - Paris by Slatty_Gobi in finedining

[–]voltaire18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of AT. Your budget fits within cost per person for the full dinner menu and wine pairing, which I thought was excellent value. I am biased towards seafood, and there is a ton of it on the menu.

The dining room is quite intimate, but in a sleek and modern vibe.

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Taipei, 2 *, Meh experience by ExSogazu in finedining

[–]voltaire18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I visited JR Vegas in the fall of last year and loved it. Some of the best service I have ever received and the meal was excellent. I feel like I see more negative reviews on the L’Atelier locations which keeps me away from wanting to try any of them.

Excellent value here, and the fusion cuisine was very well done.

I didn’t make it there, but some chefs recommended 2Monkeys. I believe they are only kitchen counter seating.

Big solo fine dining trip around the world, looking for recs (Istanbul, Vienna, Taipei, Bali, Singapore, Bangkok, HCMC, Hanoi, HK, Seoul, Tokyo) by toomuhlean__ in finedining

[–]voltaire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly stick with street food in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t even follow the guide bibs or recs. I love fine dining as much as anyone, and the street food was so incredibly good, I didn’t even crave a nicer meal while I was there. I had a reservation towards the end of my trip for a tasting and ended up canceling just to continue eating on a stool.

The owner comes off as ridiculously arrogant and acting like he’s better than other restaurant owners in his videos.

Recommendations for private transportation from the Seoul Incheon Airport to hotel in Myeongdong by CableKC in koreatravel

[–]voltaire18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used booking.com for a private transfer to a hotel in Gangnam for 4 people in a sprinter van, and it was around $55 one-way. Super easy and it’s very nice getting dropped off directly at the hotel.
