I don't find that this is true.. I think it depends on where you eat..
Where do you eat?? I visit the New York City area and find the food
there very expensive compared to this area.  Again, there are some places
in New York City where the food is reasonable. If you work in the down
town DC area and lunch in the restaurants assocaited with the hotels
or other "coat and tie" places, it can be expensive.. I think many companies
have headquarters and lobby offices here, so the food places cater to
them... Everything on the expense account as business deductions??
