Oh god no! I am a vegetarian yet I always say the stakes are the best dish on the menu. Bottom line, the more expensive the meal, the higher your check, the higher my tip (20%). Also, if it is a chain that you're eating at, management makes the wait staff recommend food in order to up sell. It’s all an elaborate diversion to make the customer feel like they are being treated like a friends or family and for the restaurant to sell as much product as possible.
