I don't know when that law went into effect, but about 50 years ago, Norm's Restaurant in L.A. had some overnight spots on KFAC, the classical music station, that advertised a New York Steak dinner for $1.49 at a time when their regular price was over $2 (remember that this was 50 years ago). The spots ran twice, and you specifically had to ask for the special. Being a grad student at UCLA at the time, the offer was too good to pass up. When I got there, the waiting line was out the door and down the block. They didn't ask what you wanted - they just brought the steak dinner. A good time was had by all. -- Phil Kane Beaverton, OR
