OTHER: booking compulsory - say you've been there before and you want the $60 banquet

Ben Chia: A super-exclusive place, the chef has left the restaurant business (and its

procedures) to set up a home kitchen. Say that you've been before and you want to go for

the $70, "else they'll charge $80-90 for a $50 meal." There's a $300 set as well.
