Mrs Rhesus got mad at me in the pub over the weekend for abusing the pot of melted butter that came with our charcuterie board
Things that butter is for: bread
Things that butter (apparently) isn't for: haggis, salami, olives
when I started dating my now-husband my sister tried to discourage me from going out with him by informing me that at Thanksgiving he had made himself a bowl of melted butter and dipped every food item in it
this did not actually happen but if it had, I couldn't fault him for it

I don't think I'd like a restaurant with a dress code.
Mostly because I don't have much nice clothes and don't want to wear them just to go out to eat. Also shit would be expensive.
Id rather eat at big boy than at some fancy place with napkin rings any day. Forever.
I feel much the same way. Swanky restaurants can be really nice, obviously, but I tend to prefer simple food made well in a more casual environment. Even on the rare occasions I have managed to go to fancier places, it generally turns out that "oh hey the lasagna here is really nice, they put a little finely chopped red capsicum in the tomato sauce".
I went to this really fancy restaurant in NJ on a business trip one time - literally left the airport for this dinner, so I was in jeans and a t-shirt, but they still let me in. We all had a laugh over it and a few bottles of wine, but there was nothing on the menu that I really wanted because my pallet is... not refined, and everything had mushrooms or looked gross. So I settled on the Lobster Gnocchi, because I like both lobster and gnocchi.
Everyone else got a big stonkin' steak, which I didn't find on my menu.
Because the restaurant gave me their lunch menu.
I was so mad. I love steak.

wait maybe they gave you the wrong menu on purpose on account of you being dressed like a schlub

I also had my work laptop in a brown grocery bag because my company had neglected to order me a laptop carrying case before the trip.
I still won them over with the presentation/training I provided the next day, but it was Not Great, Bob, to start.

Nothing wrong with regular dinner, but "not showing up in shorts and a wifebeater, or even jeans and a tshirt" is technically a dresscode. But any non-jeans and button up will get you in most places.
But if you'd let that get in the way of 1 or 2 michelin star dinners than you are doing yourself a disservice.
Pro-tip: don't go to a michelin restaurant and eat a regular meal, it will be very overpriced and leave you hungry.
Always go for the degusté, which is a fancy word for multi-course experience. They usually have them ranging from 5 to 10/12 courses, and the portions are the same as the regular courses in most cases.
You will get way more food and be really fucking full at the end, and the food-to-money ratio is much more favourable.
Example: the last 2-star restaurant i went to offered regular meals in the 35-50 euro range, while the 8 course degusté was 80 euro, and the 10 course (which i got) was 100. You easily get three times the food for double the money.

go to taco bell. most of them have at least two stars on the reviews that google maps shows--and who are you going to trust, a tire company or the current ultimate source of all knowledge--and you probably have one nearby so it is very convenient. you can get a twelve course meal for like fifteen bucks. every course is a taco. you will be very full, extremely full, even dangerously full after having consumed the full dozen. they are generally intended for multiple people but you don't have to say anything to the guy working the register about what you're going to do

hell we went to Momofuku Ko in decent jeans and solid color v-necks and were just fine
Ko is Ko is Ko, though, to be fair
The pizza, er — chizza — is still essentially a personal-pan pizza with the traditional fixings with mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce with a slice of ham and pineapple slathered in KFC’s special cheese sauce.

Because people are talking about it like it's a thing that doesn't already exist. If you want cheap chicken parm, you probably live within 10 miles of a place that does it already!

Doesn't chicken parm have to have Parmesan cheese?
I don't believe this does. It's not spectacularly original, but I think they're justified in not calling it chicken parmesan

Not really, it's sort of named after the region rather than the cheese used in the dish. Mozz and parm are both pretty common ingredients to it.

I'm not really invested in what they call it
the thing that rustles my jimmies is how folks on the internet react to it.

It's chicken parmesan with ham, pineapple, and KFC Cheese sauce on it. If an Italian restaurant advertised a Hawaiian Chicken Parmesan with Ham, Pineapple, and cheese sauce people would be weirded out.

KFC also has their Georgia Gold honey mustard BBQ chicken going on right now, and let me tell you, it's pretty excellent. Not quite as good as the Nashville Hot variety, but still really good for fast food fried chicken.

That makes a lot more sense and means my fav burger place (Honest burger in London) is a casual dining place.
Fast casual is a good way to describe 5 guys as it doesn't feel as nice as Honest burger but also classier than Mcdonalds.
