We were having a company dinner at a REALLY fancy place. They were advertisers in our paper. So, the chef had prepared a nice six course meal for the group.
Some colleagues are definitely more McD’s guests rather than fancy restaurants.
Three courses in, here comes a steak and gourmet fries to garnish. Colleague goes hog wild, dumps a bunch of fries on his plate and waves over the waitress. “Hey, do you have a bottle of ketchup? For on the steak?” The look she gave him was one of utter shock. “I, uh, wow, uhm… I’ll check”.
She eventually came back with a bottle, but I was sure the chef would have chased my colleague around with a kitchen knife if he’d heard of the request. That dude was intense.
Steak and fries is a restaurant staple, even if you go really expensive. This place serves 200 euro plus Wagyu cuts, for reference. And it was sublime.
The fries were ‘gourmet’ fries. Basically, you get like a ramekin of fries, which are mostly meant as garnish. It’s not like a full plate of fries.
My colleague liked them so much he did ask for extra fries, which got a mild frown from the waitress.
I’ve seen this in real life.

There are “fancy” (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.
