Be mindful of your dining companions.

A burger topped with truffles, foie gras and caviar sold for $5,000 (£3,959) at a New York City auction house on Tuesday. The price included a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne, according to Sotheby’s. The burger, called the "Gilt Burger," was prepared by chef David Chang for a charity event hosted by Gilt Groupe, a luxury shopping site owned by American retail giant Neiman Marcus Group Inc. The burger was one of four items up for sale during the gala evening, which raised money for the nonprofit organization Food Forward. Other items included a pair of diamond earrings worth $1 million (£788,000), a painting by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat valued at $2.4 million (£1.8m) and a sculpture by British sculptor Antony Gormley. The burger itself was cooked in front of guests by chefs including Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park and Michael Anthony of Craftsteak, both of whom attended the event. Chang has been working with the group since 2013 to raise awareness about food waste. He has even developed his own recipe book, titled "Better Than Bouillon." According to the chef, the burger was inspired by a dish he had while traveling in Japan.

The average American household spends about $3,154 eating out each month, according to data from the National Restaurant Association. This includes dining out at restaurants, fast food chains, coffee shops, bars, and other eateries. If you are looking to cut down on your spending, here are some ways to do it. 1. Take Your Meal Outside If you don't want to spend too much money, consider taking your meal outside. A study found that people spent less money overall when they ate outside versus inside. In addition, diners had better experiences when they dined outdoors. For example, outdoor seating was more comfortable than indoor seating. 2. Order One Dish Per Course Another way to keep your budget under control is to order one dish per course. When ordering multiple dishes, you might end up paying for extra items like bread, appetizers, dessert, etc. By ordering just one dish per course, you'll pay for everything included in that dish. 3. Ask About Discounts Many restaurants offer discounts for students, seniors, veterans, and others. Be sure to ask if there are any discounts available. Some restaurants even give discounts to those who bring children along.

Restaurants are permitted to open outside under New York City rules, but some places are taking extra precautions to ensure customers don't bring coronavirus home with them. Outdoor dining is still allowed under city guidelines, but many restaurants have added additional restrictions. They include limiting seating capacity, requiring patrons to wear masks, and providing hand sanitizer. Delivery and waste collection must be conducted safely and in a manner that does not impact social distancing, accessibility, or pedestrian/bike/vehicle safety. Business owners should apply for an outdoor eating permit if they want to reopen.

The beer industry is experiencing a boom period. As craft breweries continue to open across the United States, many are looking to expand into international markets. But there are challenges involved with doing business overseas. One of those challenges involves how you transport your products. Here are some tips for transporting large quantities of beer safely. Popup restaurants are popping up around the world, offering visitors a taste of what it might be like to dine inside one of their shops. But while they offer a unique dining experience, there are some things to keep in mind before you decide to open one. The first thing to consider is whether or not you want to operate a physical restaurant. If you do, you'll probably want to focus on the food side of things. A popup shop offers a great opportunity to try out new dishes and menu items without having to invest too much money into opening a full-fledged restaurant. If you're thinking about starting a pop-up, here are three tips to help make sure you don't end up with a failed venture. 1. Test Your Menu Items First Before you even think about setting up shop, you'll want to test out your menu items. This isn't just something you should do for yourself; you'll want to do it for potential customers as well. You can use social media to see what people think about your offerings. Post photos and videos of your meals online, and ask friends and family to take a picture or video of themselves eating your food. Then, post those images on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. See what sort of feedback you receive.

A 2top is a single individual sitting alone at a table; a 4top is a group consisting of four individuals seated around a table. The term originated in China, where it refers to a restaurant seating arrangement where each customer sits alone at his or her own table. In some Chinese restaurants, there are no tables, just rows of chairs facing one another, creating what looks like a large square. Each row represents a different type of food, such as seafood, meat, vegetables, or dessert. In Japan, the number is used to describe how many people sit at a dining table. For example, a 3-person tatami room is three people sitting across from one another at a low table covered with mats. When you use the word "tatami," think about the floor mat covering the ground.

A restaurant might sell out of one item before the end of the dinner. If this happens, it is called "86ing." Customers usually pay for what they ate, so if there wasn't enough food left, they wouldn't be charged.
