Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

      I ate Scott Conant’s lamb tagliatelle Ragu and it was really good. Fresh pasta hand made to order by a pro is worth it.

      Agreed. That’s why I always order something cool like gnocchi when I go to an Italian restaurant. It’s much harder to make that well at home.

        This is my opinion too! Basic Italian-American stuff seems really simple to DIY, so unless a place has some really killer house made sauce it always feels like such a ripoff. If I’m going out, I typically want something that is either too hard, laborious, or messy to make at home.
