Why?
Is it august 28 2016?
Because this thread was created august 25 2015.
If people don't understand the problem with sharing this on ddf that in itself is a red flag by me.

LOL we're living in a world of instant results. News from an hour ago is old news.

Lets talk about food ( isn't this whole thing about keeping a low-fat diet ?   )



•This amazing dinner is also available if you decide to eat your main course with some other friends more up west ( and North of-course ) not just Anthony, but then the main course will most probably have to be served on a different ''plate'' made by different companies but some similar design.



•If you decide to start your meal over there, you'll end up paying much much less for the over all menu but there's a downside too, main course will end up too big to consume at once. But who knows maybe they'll even let you take a very very big break in the middle so you get to enjoy it for an extended period.



•Currently there's a generous selection for ''dessert'' ; make sure to choose the cheapest one and such that you'll always be able to say ''Oh I'm definitely planning on enjoying that dessert''    that's why I personally would choose to have some soda for dessert rather than some batter-dipped-lolly-pops on which the waiter can always say ''hey, you weren't just planning to have that for desert anyway'' and cancel your whole order.



•There's a handful of restaurants that will sell you this type of dinner but make sure you only go to the biggest/famous possible; perhaps you can save a few bucks by going to a small one but they'll be too nosey with your meal and prepare it very slowly and manually VS automatically and smoothly. They're also not bound by any Health Dep rules in case something goes sour along the meal.


•If you're planning on taking along your infant for dinner, you got a big big problem, waiters are known to roll their eyes when you make a separate request for baby food, and will reject your order all-together. just get your little one a regular main course; too bad he'll have to swallow it.



The wiki warning is great although I personally would choose a different wording on some of the points. but as he says, you better make sure you don't talk to no one, not the restaurant not the waiters, to no one!!



Wiki-OP forgot to mention that you'd be much better off if you do online check-in especially when there's a schedule change!!



Also, always be prepared to answer why the heck you chose such strange dessert when your main course is of total different style, let alone timing + places!!

Last but not least, ask your Rav if that sort of meal is 100% kosher, we're approaching R''H after all.


There's more to say but I'm not ready for a beating ...


ETA: Oh and there's no point of posting how much you ended up paying, these posts are what usually kill these type of deals. See, sometimes it'll cost them too much to fix their menu up and they'll leave it but if they see an increasing trend, they'll shut it down. Just eat and go home, no one is interested how much you paid ( openly at least )

Can we eat in the f booth?
Does dinner need to be from the same restaurant as desert, or is it better when it isnt?
Can you give some recommendations and where to find a good desert?

Do you think the FT thread should be shut down as well?

The ft thread has been running for years and the people there are different kind of people then ddf'ers.
People! Com'on! This is no rocket science.

Exactly.

Do you think their thread was perfect on day one?

FT has those "kind of people" as well, they simply don't bother with that thread because is too much work. I don't see why it would be any different here

If you're trying to outdo someone's overall meal decision, dessert needs to be 2 things:
The menu needs to allow it to be added. Restaurants won't sell you just any dessert.
The dessert needs to be cheaper than his dessert. Search for his dessert ala carte and then try searching for your drssert ala carte. If your's is cheaper, then you can try and add it to your meal plan, but it might not be allowed. If all desserts you find are more, chances are you won't do better.

What is the strategy to find deserts ? I know the ice cream must be near the cake but nothing else...

This thread just keeps on getting better. I wonder what happen if some juicy 3x's were post to work for the mother land? 

[srap]

Hey--You sure you want a desert and not a dessert?
It probably will make a difference if we are eating our meal in a desert or up north where it is freezing.

Desserts are yummy so we want two 's'es.

Anybody care to share exactly why these fares are nonrefundable in any way? Is it a technical matter, that they'll see it and not like what you did and not refund you? Or is it a "a don't mess it up" feature because if someone in the airline looks it up the flight path may be shut down?I'm assuming the latter-and not that it matters, i'm just trying to understand the process.

[Dr Moose]

the latter
