I have taken to actually clicking on the links of the restaurants reviewed in the many, many food blogs I read. These are largely US based and, as a result, I have been perusing many US based restaurant menus. The thing I've noticed is this; it's a hell of a lot cheaper than Australia.
I don't eat in fancy restaurants at home very often but I read reviews! And I can tell you that entrees run up in the $35-40 range, desserts can extend towards the $20 mark and you will rarely find a salad for < $10.
I am constantly amazed by how reasonable the prices are in American menus. Sure, the exchange rate and all but still. Look at this: http://homeroom510.com/menu/
I want to go to there. If I ever get to the US, I'm going to eat my weight in delicious food.

In Australia, tipping is not really part of our culture (except expensive restaurants). However, in the U.S. where waiters are paid minimum wage or not even that they rely heavily on tips. It's custom to tip in North America so maybe that's why their dishes don't seem as expensive.
We should go on a food holiday and just tour around America eating.

and you're right! i forgot about tipping. but still tipping is supposed to be 15-20% which, of a $17 main meal is only $3.40
