Jay is missing the point. Obviously it's not about the steak when one spends £1,450 for it. It's how it makes one feel to be able to spend £1,450 on steak.

- robotresearcher 5y ago> I ask [a customer] what his job is. He laughs. “I’m a wanker in finance.” So why is he doing it? “It’s a bit of fun isn’t it? And the man himself is in there.” > [The chef] came from a poor working-class family. Now he’s rinsing the rich and stupid. It could almost be inspiring. The article is clear that it's not about the steak.
- emrah 5y agoYeah it's not about the steak for either side :-)
- mcphage 5y agoThe author absolutely did not miss the point. Instead, he looked closely at the point—how does it make one feel to be able to spend £1,450 on steak? What does that say about a person, or about our society? Is it a feeling we should be encouraging?
