Marie Antoinette Award

[BG2008]

What would be the most Marie Antoinette thing to do at this moment?  (For laughs)

 

1) Someone wealthy doing a cooking video of making lobster roll (assuming they don't live in Maine or Nova Scotia) and passing it off as a normal Sunday Brunch recipe

2) Complaining about delays in delivery for bubble tea

3) Saying why can't these poor people just take their yacht to...

4) Complain about shortage of various gourmet cheese with veins of truffle

5) Complaining that No 3 Michelin star restaurants are currently open

6) Can't party in NYC, Vegas, London, Tokoyo, and Sydney on your birthday by flying in your private jet

7) The Ferrari factory is shutdown and you can't take delivery

8) That Sotheby's auction is postponed

9) Can't go glamping at your favorite EDM

10) Bonus this year is 7 figures instead of 8

The correct answer is for the king to say about his subjects "Let them eat Lysol"

Personally Ive been disappointed with the overall availability of veal scallopini. Have been settling for pork.

Does Shake Shack taking PPP loans go into this category?  Or does that go into the Darwin award where it leaves a bad taste in me ever wanting a Shack Stack?

I'm still going to go to Ruth's Chris, a little graft won't stop me

Ruth's Chris is trash, I'll take Sparks, Keen's, and Peter Lugers (I have to deal with the grumpy waiters) any day.  :)

We don't have that stuff in flyover country.  Also Ruth's is sort of indigenous to the region

Speaking of Ruth's. Not for the award because there's worse out there. But having the government remind you that at 470 million in revenue and 5,740 employees you're not a small business deserves an honorable mention.

You know it started as a scam years ago, Chris Steakhouse, the predecessor I should say not the family that make it successful later

Didn't know that. Thanks.

Sorry I'm strictly a first-level thinker, like the wise Howard Marks wrote about

Friend of mine who’s dad started a business just posted this on Instagram. Guy hasn’t worked a day in his life. Probably looks forward to nudie magazine day. Enjoy.

Quotes don't get much better than this:

 

McDougall didn’t know if the economy would fall into a recession -- or worse, a depression -- but the E*Trade platform is very user friendly, he said.
