About the same, I think (it's been a long time since I've been to an Applebees).
The burgers cost about $6 or $7, IIRC, and are quite good. Of course if you
want New York Strip steak it's going to cost you more. I'm sorry I don't recall
exact prices, but it seemed reasonable (I've eaten there twice).
(I'm assuming that we would all get separate checks.)

I'll do that. In fact, I'm doing it right now -- the person who handles
meetings isn't there, but I'm leaving a message with her voicemail. She'll
probably get back to me with details by tomorrow. Unless anyone objects, I'll
go ahead and set it up -- I can always cancel if we decide to go elsewhere.

| Well, Ballydoyle's finally called me back, and I don't think is going to be right for us. For groups using the meeting room (which seats up to 30, BTW), they don't take separate checks; they want a lump payment which will be a minimum of $250. So, (...)
