I didn't hit Outback or fast food either, but the tab for two of us was typically less than $80 out the door with a solid tip and we didn't exactly eat garbage on the road. Granted we spent a lot of time in the midwest/midsouth where stuff tends to be less expensive, but our CFO would have hammered us if we routinely turned in $160+ receipts for dinner.
As a matter of fact, I do live in one of the most expensive cities in US,
especially for dining. The nature of our job brings us to other equally expensive cities, or high end international destinations.
That said, I can admit I am a compulsive diner, and I can always find an 80+ dollar dinner almost anywhere when you consider a decent bottle of wine.
