Life-Changing Salmon
New York City is well-known for its high costs. If you’ve ever visited the city as a tourist, you know how costly it can be to go out to eat or just buy a cup of coffee. When this person found out they’d have to pay $18 for their bagel and lox, they were astonished, but their companion was not fazed.
A California vacation was ruined when a friend informed me of the trend I’m about to describe: if you’re going to pay a lot for food, it better be life-changing. The salmon, he claimed, must be astounding and the most pleasing thing they’ve ever eaten. Their colleague, who is used to paying an arm and a leg for a bagel, ironically stated it was life-changing for the fish. They instructed them to stop complaining and enjoy their bagel in a classic New York way.
