Bain & Company Bain & Company Do you have any insights into what they are expecting in the second (last) round? I saw that there are two cases and a presentation. Are they more interested in professionalism than the "analytical" skills assessed in the first round? Do you have any more insights into the presentation?
Many thanks in advance

We flew on SAS business class to Copenhagen from the US just to spend 2 days there and eat at Noma when they were still the #1 restaurant in the world and they announced they were closing. This was just my wife and I, not part of any business trip/expenses.
K1, I tried to book a table for Geranium (before they were ranked) on that same trip and couldn’t find a table. I’ll have to come back fro Geranium and Noma 2.0.
SM4, it was very much an experience and the food was tasty too. It was a game of trying to figure out what was edible on the plate. “Oh that’s not a rock…it looks like a rock…wow this tastes nothing like a rock!”
I bought dinner for 8 to celebrate my mother graduating from a Registered Nurse program.
In my early twenties,
earning about 25k annually.
It was a lot of money but someone had to do it.

Kudos to you. Lucky mom to have such a thoughtful kid, it's not even about the money.

Not counting my wedding reception, which takes the cake (pun fully intended), it was ~$800 for 3 at a Fogo to welcome my sister back from her first deployment.
My most expensive date was around $200 for 2, and that was the night I proposed to my now-wife. Besides that my most expensive meal, date or otherwise, was ~$150 for 2.

Too much meat
Treated my mom to Tempura Matsui in Manhattan for $400
Yes. Best tempura of your life, guaranteed.
Wow, this is eye opening. I’m too middle class to spend this much on food.
And they just write about lattes and avo toasts - imagine how much your nw could be if you invested this!
It’s just $$. You can’t take it with you. Live a little. :)
Just for two, The Modern in Manhattan is first place that springs to mind. $225 per person for tasting menu plus alcohol.
Most expensive is wedding dinner hosting 104 people. Thank you father in law!
$800 for 4 at a lovely steakhouse in DFW

We spent around the same per person for 3 of us at Town Hearth to celebrate a friend’s great new job (without even ordering bottles of wine). Definitely worth it.
$1700 for a table of 4

This quote from Leno sums it up for me,"I'm not a fancy restaurant guy. My favorite steakhouse steak went up to $70. I don't go there anymore. That's ridiculous. There's no reason a steak should be $70."

Any article about a celebrities food preferences is silly. I just happen to have the same opinion on expensive restaurants as the guy which was relevant to the topic.
