There can't be that many Execs that are still eating that well? Can there? And aren't paid lunches a thing of the past in NYC with many companies being more "cost-effective"? The tax write-offs/benefits are nonsequential if they aren't pulling in the reasonable amounts of clients/ revenue-sales/ profit. Let those fat cats live on then.

Even when I was making coin I rarely spent more than $10. Must be all those summer-associate lunches. You get a $65 budget for those. Or, at least, you used to... Wow.

Unless they're insanely wealthy? Come on, I thought rich people stay rich by being super duper-cheap. Unless there's a lot more celebrities eating lunch in NYC than we can imagine.
