    This feels like a plot for a horror movie, where you eat the entire menu then the last meal is the customer before you.
    Edit: There's been tons of replies suggesting me to watch it. No, I won't watch it. I don't care if it has flying ponies or gives enlightenment.
    Edit 2: Even with the edit there's still tons of people commenting it's not a horror film so I can watch it. Still don't care. I don't want to watch it.

    The only type of crazy expensive rich person restaurant I would ever agree with. Its brimming with creativity, and its most definetly more than a meal. Its an experience to remember forever, on top of quality product. Its not some lazy added gold leaf and random expensive ingredients to hike up the price, its actual work and care, and definetly love. Especially if the resaurant changes the experience e v e r y season. Crazy.

      Upon entry, your group is asked to stand in a waiting room. Strange you think, the room is made entirely from metal. Some time goes by, you start to feel dizzy. The doors open, you and your friends stumble out into the dining room, where the host explains that the room you have all been waiting in is highly radioactive and that you have received a lethal dose of radiation poisoning.
      The host proceeds to inform you and the group that they have everything you and your friends need to survive, Potassium iodide,
      Prussian blue and Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid. The only thing you need to do to get these counteractives to radiation poisoning, is sit through their 50 course meal where they have hidden the treatment in the ingredients used to make the food.
      The meals start off normal... unassuming. Slowly, the dishes begin to become increasingly intricate and challenging to your values. At the end of the 49th course, the host explains that everyone has gotten half of the dosage required to leave unharmed. The other half resides within the 50th dish. 4 Chefs wheel out a large metal tray on wheels. They each hold a corner of the lid, lifting it to reveal a whole cooked human, stuffed with an apple in their mouth like a pig.
      Opportunities for plot inclusions:
      1. You are there with a Vegan friend who weeps as they force themself to eat a live octopus.
      2. One of your friends dies during course, because they were forced to eat something they were allergic to. Your friend ends up being the final dish.

    I love how perfectly the movie The Menu kinda critiques this kind of decadent out there food. Like, I can see them pretending to be so environmentally conchious and critical of the establishment but from the way this thing is most likely run and priced at, it IS the establishment cosplaying as rebels. It's what happened to the simpsons when they became what they critisized so heavily before. It kinda feels like a joke. Only rich people can play with their food in these decadent ways. so if they actually dared to be self aware, the last course would be nothing but a plate called something like: World hunger or something like it. Or even better, have the entire menu be nothing for the experience as you ask guests to come hungry and let em eat clay to feel full like starving ppl do in desperate situations. that'd at least be a worthy critique of the establishment especially tied to food.

      Art plays with the senses. Most art plays with sight and hearing. A few evoke sensations in their smell and touch. But only food really evokes strong sensations in the taste. I feel like the culture wars between traditional and avant-garde are brought to a new playing field in food. On one hand we have people who champion the traditional folk dishes as unpretentious and more delicious and then we have people who champion the new as groundbreaking, innovative, with flavors or flavor combinations never seen before.

      Høst (Harvest) in Copenhagen also have different many course+surprises menu´s with accompanying wine. Easier to get a seat and prices vary after selections but to reach 1000 you need to go bonkers on the wine. Much less will still give a really good and unique experience. Alchemist are on my list but I have not been able to get a reservation for my open slots. I am trying the cancellations list once in a while until I succeed. But also have to be with someone so a lot to coordinate for a slim chance. I have been to NOMA several times and I do not know if you have tried it but this year are last chance. at least for their permanent restaurant. If you have not you def. should. 3 season menus left whereof 1 are veggie so time to act are now. Since it have been published they will close seats will not be easy to get. They will create a food lab based on the one they have now to see if they can invent great food and flavors"for the masses" or maybe just their restaurants, we will see. Maybe they will make some pop up events to test their lab´s creations on "real people". Time will show what Rene Redzepi do, but I am sure it will be worthwhile.

    As an experience sounds interesting, but as a restaurant, it's a pass for me. There's a fine line between groundbreaking restaurant and theme park exhibition. Also I would prefer not to be served a guilt trip with the meal I just spent my life's savings on. If I was going to go out for the dinner of a lifetime, I'd want the food to speak for itself, and not be come out talking about how awful humans are. Theatrics are cool, but shouldn't be the main takeaway of the restaurant.

      There are quite some misconception surrounding wealth... wealthy people are aware of social issues, they just never have to experience the negative impacts first hand, making it impossible for them to empathise. A demonstration like this can only cast two effects; either these people walk out feeling so reinvented and woke that they start to look at price tags or talk about a greater purpose - or they shrug and say, well that was weird. To me this restaurant crossed a certain line. I am a huge fan of culinary arts; I do not think fine dining and hospitality is pretentious at all but this is dystopian. It is a large scale agony simulator for the fortunate, which imo is absolutely brutal.

This isn't McDonalds or grocery stores, which throw away literal tons of food. Plus, food cost is absurdly high for them, so they are incentivized to keep waste as low as possible.

    This concept is genius for the fact that anyone willing to pay $1000 for this is entirely out of touch and has more wealth than sense. This is the longest service of flaming irony you can buy. You get to be reminded how horrible of a person you are by engaging with such a frivolous endeavor. You can see environmental detritus and class divide served in a nice little bite sized snack. This is less of a fine dining experience and more of an art project, showing first hand how out of touch and completely insensitive wealthy individuals inevitably become.

      I'm not wealthy but I'd save up to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'd do this before going to Disney and spending that much in a day. Different people value different things, don't like it, don't go. Simple.

    As someone in the food industry, i think theatrics are all well and good for a unique dining experience but I think when the theater of the experience outclasses the food, it becomes pretentious and forgets the point of being a dining experience.
    Theater should compliment the food but honestly alot of this feels forgettable food wise if not for the theatrics

    There’s something so distasteful about rich people making a novelty of child labor in the developing world with exorbitantly priced food. Irony truly is dead.

    Just got my reservation today. Gonna go there for the second time this may. It truly is a crazy experience i just had to experience again.
    Having tried other michelin restaurants like Geranium, Alchestmist was truly the best.

    Looks great, but the thing is: would you go there again (and again) like you go to your local restaurant you enjoy? It looks like visiting Disneyland in my opinion, it's a great 1 time experience....

    I would love to try this! The concept of what I would call "Culinary Theatre" with their presentation, innovation with the bread from NASA & SpaceX, and the Dome...just WOW. The way you're treated with each course and the scenery, those 7 hours must go by quick. The price seems worth it for that kind of experience. A lot of those courses had elements I've never heard of - Where else would you get a change to try even one of those? Having worked in fine dining as a line cook for a year for the cooking experience, things like the lamb lung or brain, rabbit ear drink, cotton candy like dumpling, and 1984 eyeball thing, doesn't bother me.
