What's the Price of Dinner at Emeril's...

if your party is the entire defensive squad of an NFL team? Wednesday night the TB Buccaneers defense had a reservation at Emeril's for a squad dinner.

in keeping with team tradition, the rookies had to pay the entire cost of the meal.

Hmmmmm...I would guess somewhere in the $1,500-2,500 range?

$75-$100 per person, not including tax, tip or alcohol. (app, main course, desert)

Add wine and the rest and I could see $150-$200 per person pretty quickly.

Oops, sorry, I have to edit, I was thinking Mythos for some reason, not Emerils, yes that will definitely be more (around 75 per).

Depends on what you get. We had dinner at Tchoup Chop and it was about $130 bucks, and we had drinks, appetizers, main course and desserts. Trop, are you a rookie on the Bucs?

I wish.

the three of us usually spend around $170, and I'm the only one that drinks wine.

30-40 guys just breaking from training camp and going out for a nice dinner. I read the article and the first number that flashed in my head was $5k.

If the rookies were there and had to pick up the tab, they may have ordered the two-course special (which is actually a genuine bargain at Emeril's).

But my guess is that the booze flowed freely and, since football players are presumably big guys with big appetites, the tab probably approached $200 per person.
