Even <a href="http://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2010/10/31/food-as-art-the-bazaar/" rel="nofollow">The Bazzar</a> is actually pretty reasonable if you order carefully. Just get the dishes that everyone shares and avoid the individual bite sized items like the Philly Cheesesteak (which is bite sized at $7). Most of the regular dishes are like $9-12 and easily serve 4-5 people. Also be careful with the signature cocktails as they are labor intensive (and hence expensive). But you could certainly have a great meal there for $40 a person with care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-10473564999126033902011-10-19T01:13:25.537-07:002011-10-19T01:13:25.537-07:00Chris, I've met Chef Andres in person, and he ...Chris, I've met Chef Andres in person, and he is indeed quite the character--super passionate about Spanish cooking!<br /><br />As for affording his food, you don't need to hit up the likes of é right from the get-go.
