While there’s nothing wrong with splurging on a nice meal every once in a while, serious foodies are dropping way more than a dime to check out the latest and greatest restaurant openings.

Yes, the average American family spends just over $3,000 a year eating out. That’s more than two months of rent in most U.S. cities.
Moreover, many dishes come with insane markups, sometimes as much as 300 percent. So, that $15 pasta dish actually might cost the venue $5 to make. It’s enough to make you, and your stomach, think twice about an evening out.
