"Six weeks ago, I met [him] for lunch at an Olive Garden restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. (I had offered to take him anywhere he wanted and then vetoed his first choice, T.G.I. Friday’s.) "

(Name obfuscated because this isn't about making fun of one person: It's about an entire decision-making mindset. You're in Manhattan, of all places, and you go where?)
Found at Marginal Revolution, which in turn found it here.
