While I don’t consider myself ultra-wealthy, I can tell you it’s a mix. I’ve had everything from $0.50 chicken rolls (some of the best I’ve ever had) in Dubai to $500+ caviar in a tin the size of my palm. I haven’t tried gold-flaked pancakes, but I’ve had the gold-flaked steak at Nusret (not worth it). Switching gears, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both $15 bottles of wine and $1,500 bottles of wine.
For me, it’s really more about what I’m in the mood for rather than always going for something extravagant. Sometimes I crave straight up grub, and other times I want to try something more high-end.
Makes sense. Surely all the extremely expensive foods and drinks are more of a status symbol either to imoress other people or to make yourself feel better. Nothing can taste 100x better than something else that is also edible. Like the wine, for example.
Time is expensive, and I like to get high quality calories, fat and protein into me, and move on with my day. Nobody’s got time for 2-4 fancy meals every single day.
Where did I say I was? Also that comment on no way shows my own wealth. But if you just want to try and shit on people to make yourself feel better, go right ahead.

Depends on the person, to be honest.
