personally, i go with the keller theory: if you're going to do luxury, the only way to do it is over the top. if you're really serious about wanting to try oneof them, but on a budget, the only way is to go someplace that does it great and then order just that ... even on a college student budget, you're probalby looking at $40 to $50. on the other hand, ordering those things at a place where the whole meal is $40 to $50 is almost guaranteed to be disappointing.

You don't need a restaurant for foie, if you can find someone that will sell you good pate de foie gras (should be possible, depending on location). Sauternes is often sold by the half bottle, so it's not that expensive (the good stuff is, but the cheaper stuff is perfectly drinkable). If you can get some brioche to eat the foie gras on, you're pretty damn close to heaven, and you haven't spent all that much.

They have half bottles of D'Yquem at Costco (at least where I live) for $200. Not exactly "affordable," but worth it for the experience, especially if Keller is the inspiration.

I couldn't appreciate the nuance in anything more than a $40 bottle of wine. I've tried stuff from dirt cheap to (what I consider to be) stupid expensive, and as of the last glass I've had, my favorite was an 06 Willamette Valley pinot noir that I had recently. I'm sure that some of the more expensive stuff was way nicer, but my grasp on the subtleties involving is lacking to say the least.

Foie gras and a top notch ice wine or Sauternes.Originally Posted by Piobaire
+1, though the ice wine is really just the cherry on top. Foie gras on its own is still perfect.
