Here's a TDY tale: I once had to visit Huntsville Ala. for three days; stayed downtown without a rental car. Called back to the office to check on per diem rate, and was told $6.25 per day. Knowing I was going broke, decided to really treat myself the last night, and walked a few blocks to a small French restaurant; asked for and received the biggest table they had, one for 10 people, in a corner. Menu indicated the average meal would likely run about $10. Sat down and ordered a martini, then a chateaubriand for two, with Bordeaux, followed by cognac and a good cigar. Had four waiters occupied full time. The bill was $120, to which I gladly added a $20 tip. That was in 1969.
