I can't even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can't be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?
The actual food and service is probably only maybe a couple hundred to a couple thousand/plate
The rest of the price is the "donation". The tactic itself is not bad, many charities and fundraisers do the same thing, charge a hundred or 2 (if it's an event for us pleebs) per person for food and the event and the rest is your donation.
What the donation is for is the problem here
I’m betting it’s more like a fundraising dinner — you’re not paying that price just because of the food
