I was sent to German countryside once for work and had to eat at a restaurant. The cheapest meal was already totally expensive. Some potatoes and green stuff. Not worth it.

Probably a $15 subway footlong. Meatball sandwich with shredded cheddar and whole mozzarella and bacon plus like some other shit I think. I can't remember it's been a while. Good ahit tho, probably clogged my arteries.

Most fine dining level meats. Don't remember which was the most expensive, but about 60% of them are memorable experences and totally worth it.

I've also has some absolutely mind blowing sushi, but not at the same price level.

The most expensive single meal I've had was a 20,000 yen (~$170 usd) vegan full course meal at a 1 Michelin star restaurant called FARO in Tokyo. I bought some wine for my friend too, so it was more like 24,000 yen.

It was actually pretty good. Some kind of fancy bread appetizer, a main course meal of potato pasta, a really good set of seasoned vegetables, then vegan dessert which was a slice of cake and some kind of extremely fancy cookie perched on a bed of hazelnut spread.

Honestly most of the cost was the presentation I think. Every meal was set out in front of us arranged all fancy on these big stone plates and bowls. The food was good but not worth the cost. My memories of the meal is still good though because I was there with a friend and I hadn't seen him in a while.

Filet steak I think. Yes, it is worth it.
