Last night was a perfect example of a cheap, awesome meal.
We did grilled margarita pizza and hanger steaks. Homemade dough, home grown basil, fresh mozzarella from a local market, and fresh tomatoes. Hanger steaks from a local butcher. Total cost was probably $10-12 each, but it was awesome. Even if you throw in the bottle of wine we had, the cost was still only $17-19 each.
But it blew away going to some generic chain like Chili's or Applebee's or Olive Garden and spending the same amount. And we didn't have to worry about noisy or obnoxious people, poor service, traffic, waiting for a table, etc. We also ate something far healthier than typical restaurant fare for the same price.
To me that's being about having great food, not about being elite.
