Not extravagant in high cost of living areas.

• rightbyte 2y ago
  Have relative restaurant pricing in 'high cost areas' in the US changed since the 2010s? I remember SF as being about as expansive as about anywhere else for the equivalent quality.

    $20 is what I would plan to spend on a decent (not fancy setting, just not low quality) meal in SF. For waited service, I would budget $30, excluding even non alcoholic beverages. Could be $5 less though, if you go out of your way to find lower prices. Same in the other west coast cities and NYC, except Portland. Portland is probably $5 less. Note that the article says the meal credits are for prepared food delivered to a Meta office location, so the meal credit also includes cost of delivery: > Staff based in smaller offices without a canteen are offered Uber Eats or Grubhub credits, for example, for food to be delivered to the office.

      Honestly McDonald’s plus delivery is probably going to hit 15-20 dollars these days.
