It’s better to order something moderately priced. If you’re unsure look at the price of the dish your business partner is ordering. Order something that has the same price or is cheaper

My prospective boss asked me to go out to lunch and my choices were the expensive restaurant next door or a cafeteria at NEA. I chose the former.

Yes I got the job, but I later found out I almost didn’t because I had stupidly forgotten this was a NONPROFIT with a limited budget and I should have been more sensitive to this.

Why did I get the job? I was red haired, boss’s daughters had red hair, and this was a mitigating factor. When I walked into the office on the first day of work, his secretary AND administrative assistant were red haired.

Moral to story: Order somewhere in the middle. Avoid all traps.
