What the hell? With that same budget this guy could have gotten twice as much catering. Or had food in person at much fancier restaurants. For that same amount of money he could have like flown to France and had a 3 Michelin star chef feed him directly into his mouth like a baby bird.

Or he could have at least ordered food that isn't dogshit. How do you eat $4000 of Chick-fil-A per year and not die?

another opportunity to mention that Michelin Stars are a thing a tire company made to sell more cars and wear through more tires by encouraging road trips to restaurants

Once you use it a couple times the convenience of these apps grabs you and you don't realize how much you're spending until you do something like this. It's basically the same psychological trick that microtransactions in video games use, just keep spending here and there and then you wake up and your account is banned and the $5000 you spent on skins including the $200 you spent on loot crates to get the Hextech Annie is all gone.

I've used them before and typically feel like shit afterwards. I have permanent frugal brain from being homeless for a while.

I've ordered with those apps a few times when I was too depressed to make food or get groceries and seeing like 20+ dollars in fees always felt like shit.

Bro might have been able to hire a personal chef for 25k.

I know dudes who went to culinary school who were making less than that working at Chipotle
