   ...and I can hear Mr. Carvel's voice-over doing the commercial.    
      
      
   In any event, folks trolling about restaurant expenses are invariably   
   the same ones who never tip, nor actually understand that costs of   
   living vary regionally.   
      
   For example, the revival of this thread reminds me that since it   
   started, we happened to be traveling and had lunch for two at a popular   
   burger joint.  FYI, this wasn't a high end place either, as TripAdvisor   
   lists it on their "Cheap Eats" page with just one dollar sign ("$").   
      
   One simple cheeseburger each, split an order of fries, drinks were one   
   coke, one chocolate milkshake (no booze) ... t'was a mere $56.41   
      
   and it wasn't in any Blue City or Blue State.  Go figure.
