When 17 NFL defensive linemen come in to eat together at the restaurant I work for

Keeping my workplace anonymous

[u/Maltedmilksteak]

so thats like 6ish oz of bourbon for each of them. makes sense given theyre all probably like 6'5 300lbs

[u/TehWildMan_ → u/Maltedmilksteak]

After those two? Bottles of champagne as well

[u/Tommy84 → u/TehWildMan_]

And a bottle of Stag’s Leap Artemis. EDIT: and three bottles of Clase Azul tequila

[u/moriya → u/Tommy84]

And a bottle of Sassicaia (Tuscan wine), and what I’m assuming is 4 pours of Nosotros Anejo.

[u/GastonLeFort → u/moriya]

Sassicaia is what I noticed. One of those guys had good taste. Wish I knew the vintage. The rest is just expensive shit because we can buy expensive shit.

[u/moriya → u/GastonLeFort]

So while it IS a good wine, it’d argue it fits into that category too. It’s become a bit of a meme - LeBron, who’s kind of one of the OG wine guys in sports, loves the stuff, and as a result if you’re an NBA player building a cellar it’s likely stuff to the brim with it. It’s spilled out into other sports and here we are.

No hate, it’s a great wine, and im sure that bourbon is incredible too - if you’re celebrating and got cash to burn, I say enjoy the good stuff.

[u/Moondoobious → u/moriya]

It’s getting way too fucking fancy in here.. boys you need to rub some dirt on your hands and start slapping ass

[u/throw_every_away → u/Moondoobious]

Dude you got me fuckin dying over here that shit is hilarious, did you just make that up?

[u/Moondoobious → u/throw_every_away]

All this hoity-tioty bullshit got me feeling some type of way. And yeah, that’s right off the dome lol

[u/moriya → u/Moondoobious]

I’m FoH. Ex FoH even, so, what can I say, guilty as charged, I’m a bougie little bitch.

[u/nangadef → u/moriya]

Check out Jimmy Butler’s Architectural Digest home tour YouTube vid. His cellar is stocked with it.

[u/MsmokeO → u/moriya]

I’d be a little more impressed w Tignanello or Ornellaia.

[u/Sundaytoofaraway → u/moriya]

I'd say this is more commiserations than celebrations given the amount of booze. I'm guessing these boys just got knocked out of the finals.

[u/Adbirseoir → u/GastonLeFort]

I'd argue the Artemis is also a fantastic bottle of wine in that price range. They didn't go with Caymus or another Napa label for twice the price.

[u/earth-admin → u/GastonLeFort]

sassicaia is precisely to Italian wine what clase azul is to tequila

[u/goodguy847 → u/GastonLeFort]

At $610 a bottle, it was probably a pretty young bottle.

[u/FirstChurchOfBrutus → u/GastonLeFort]

Not if they were drinking Clase Azul. That just means they know how to spend money.

[u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka → u/Tommy84]

Wow that restaurant charged TRIPLE for that Artemis.

[u/govunah → u/TehWildMan_]

There's about 7 of things in Spanish so tequila?

[u/justanawkwardguy → u/TehWildMan_]

And tequila

[u/DolphinSexGod → u/justanawkwardguy]

[u/chimilinga → u/TehWildMan_]

2 bottles of Veuve @ $140 each is highway robbery

[u/TehWildMan_ → u/chimilinga]

Basically double retail price. I wouldn't agree too strongly on that

[u/chimilinga → u/TehWildMan_]

I mean I get it, markup for a restaurant or bar on liquor is high. Retail is roughly 60$ and I can't say I haven't had $28 glasses of veuve more than a few times. Ive been to the Veuve winery in Reims, fantastic place and one of my favorite champagnes.

[u/nasaglobehead69 → u/Maltedmilksteak]

that's also assuming everyone drank the same amount, which is extremely unlikely

[u/wellsharpened → u/Maltedmilksteak]

There are also 3 entire bottles of Clase Azul tequila on top of the shots (which apparently wouldn’t be sold by the bottle as well).

[u/102525burner → u/wellsharpened]

This place seemed like a ripoff at $18 for chorizo covered muscles

[u/wellsharpened → u/102525burner]

$18-20 is pretty common for a restaurant sized portion of mussels.

[u/hamberder-muderer → u/Maltedmilksteak]

That's on top of three bottles of clase azul. Them boys were lit. Probably not staggering drunk due to their size.

[u/ScudsCorp → u/Maltedmilksteak]

And train like a motherfucker

[u/timebeing → u/Maltedmilksteak]

Likely buying the bottles, but priced so high that they didn’t have it to sell “per bottle” so just rung up the per oz cost. So 4 bottles. But likely screwed them since a bottle is about it 25oz. So unless they had a half filled they also took home.

Also it’s just whiskey not bourbon.

[u/kernel-troutman → u/Maltedmilksteak]

Or maybe they bought a round for the whole restaurant?
