2. Many times, seniors can go to REAL restaurants, and have a good meal

and enough to have another at home the next day from the doggie bag.

And if they go for the "early-bird" dinner or use a coupon, two can eat for nearly the same price as one, and each can still have leftovers..

It's easier to have the $3.22 burger, but it's not necessary for most people.

As long as restaurants are still serving the HUGE portions, it makes sense to take advantage of their portion sizes.:)

We eat at a Steer & Stein near us occasionally and almost EVERYTHING on their menu is large enough to give us that second meal the next day. I just add a small salad & some fruit and we're good to go:)

and for that same $3.22( or very close to it), he could have gotten several meals from spaghetti made at home.. a lb of ground beef, a lob of pasta & a jar of spaghetti sauce would not cost much more, or taken much more time than it took him to walk/drive to that burger place:)
