At the Vinoklet, diner Greg Schafer grouses, "I don't cook at home, and if I'm going to pay good money, I want someone to do the cooking for me." What's more, do-it-yourself dining isn't cheap. At the Minturn Country Club in Minturn, Colo., Kobe beef costs $49.95--uncooked. Still, restaurateurs insist that the customer knows best.
