  • With this trope, the characters have absolutely no right affording the quality and amount of food they eat based on their visible income. It's like Friends Rent Control, only for food rather than living space. Now, as any professional chef will tell you, it is absolutely possible to eat gourmet meals using simple and inexpensive ingredients, so this trope is often subverted in real life. But for the most part, the characters who fall into this trope don't cook... rather, the most frequent thing they make for dinner is reservations, usually at a restaurant two or three steps up from the Burger King's price range. Even worse, they usually spend the whole time having plot-relevant conversations and don't even eat the food in front of them! Contrast with Dog Food Diet. See also Friends Rent Control.
