Just as a note, when I say ‘Somebody Else’s Money,’ I mean the Somebody Else is present and paying for the meal. If I travel on my own and will be billing the client for lodging and meals, I don’t stay in the fanciest hotels nor dine at restaurants like Per Se or Daniel.
I pay sometimes. sometimes someone else pays.
If it’s for business, they pay.
Fine dining is fun and satisfying.
