With the days of the extravagant Power Lunch all but forgotten in these tough times, Midtown steak hotshots Maloney & Porcelli are resorting to blatant falsehoods to get their meat sold! Their new website, Expense-a-Steak, lets customers enter their bill total and download a sheet of false receipts for the amount. For example, a fake $231 bill is separated into seven receipts for places like "Office Supply Hut" and "The Panini Experience." They're even offering fake doggy bags with Chipotle logos on the front! The ruse didn't come a moment too soon, because as the press release reminds us, "one of the biggest casualties of the financial crisis is the expense account meal." And President Obama isn't do anything about it, so at least Maloney & Porcelli is stepping in.
