But not everyone need be able to afford everything. It's not an insult to me or anyone else that something exists that is beyond my means. That's life.

Background: Katie Belle's used to have the entire corner (before Chico's). They had a daily salad bar and great seating. It was the showcase. That was where you took your guests and visitors. Then Chico's came along. Then (I think it was after Chico's) they decided to make the upper floor a place called Cattle Baron's. It was supposed to be an exclusive resident only restaurant. $300 a year and if you did not spend $300, they billed you the difference. Not too many takers. So they lowered the fee and forgot about the difference. Still very little takers. So they dropped the membership and you have what you have now.
I refuse to go to Cattle Baron's for what they did to the overall Katie Belle's environment. I do go to the Katie Belle's area for the breakfast buffet and an occasional lunch.
