Close your eyes and imagine your boyfriend is taking you on a romantic date for your birthday. Admittedly, your boyfriend is kind of a scrub, and rarely pays for your meals, but this is an extraordinary day that you've waited all year for, so you're expecting him to pick up the tab this time around. You lift the menu from the elegant white tablecloth and begin perusing the decadent options. You've been thinking about getting a world-class steak all day, and the peppercorn filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes gets your mouth watering.
