We have moved up in the world around here. Emeril Lagassi opened a new restaraunt just up the road a piece. The dress code is "smart casual". Now, folks like us ain't got no idea WTF smart casual is supposed to mean. Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me as to what this is? Hell, to me, smart casual means a t-shirt with not too many holes in it, blue jeans loose enough so they don't bunch up my crotch, clean underwear, and a fairly clean ball cap.

Not that it really matters. A price of $38 for a friggen ribeye steak is probably gonna keep me away anyhow.

Especially since you could get two really fat, prime rib-eyes from Costco for about the same price.

Well, I live real close to Boston, clearly a sophisticated hip city.

I have no f-ing idea what smart casual means...but it feels like I would be turned away at the door.

You guys have to be kidding. You're computer literate and make enough bucks to buy premium cigars and liquor. You work at various jobs and support yourself and or families and you know all the terms but this one?

OK, jump on I've got thick skin.

It means that there's an IQ test to get a table there, but it's not a formal test - just a casual one.

Actually, I have no idea without Google - first instinct would be to say it's similar to "resort casual," though... collared shirts, no jeans, no hats, etc. Church clothes, basically.

Smart casual

Main article: Smart casual

Typical events: Business purposes, church events, "night on the town", everyday wear

Smart casual usually consists of a blazer or a sports jacket, a collared shirt, and dress trousers. A necktie is increasingly optional. Although suits technically fall into the formal category, some are casual enough to be considered smart casual instead. Smart casual footwear includes shoes and loafers, but not sneakers (trainers), or men's sandals. Since the 1990s, this dress style has become increasingly acceptable in some business situations, though not all.

Holiday Smart is a subset of this, referring to smart casual attire with a Holiday theme, i.e. colors, patterns or prints.

Smart casual means the place is pretentious enough to have a stupid dress code and that I don't want to eat there.

I don't mind spending a little coin going out to eat. Hell, I ate at Mario Batali's in Las Vegas. That bill was STOOPID expensive.

No dress code.

Duwan, add a blue blazer to anything and you're good....including jeans.

Places with dress codes are far above what your pretentious, uneducated, slob-like philistine palate could understand anyway.

PS: GEICO called, the caveman show is going back on the air, and they are renewing your part, just try not to screw it up again by acting intelligent, just be yourself.

HA! Shows what YOU know. I worked at the Red Rooster Tavern when I was in High School. One of New England's finest restaurants at the time. They had a Maitre' D and a dress code... and a coat room with jackets people could borrow.

Excellent food, French, American and seafood dishes. Hagen Daz ice cream, too. And you know it was good because the chef/owner was a French homo! The Maitre' D always had good weed, too... added bonus.

That's a real stumper, Duwan. I mean what color blazer goes well with camo pants and boots? Oh, wait a minute. You're south of my RV near Ashville, right? Pretty sure I saw dress blazers in RealTree at the Elkin Wally World. Should have them down your way too. See, problem solved.

This should cover the situation:

Add a nice pair of jeans (without the knees blown out) and you're good to go.
