What about the menus given to men other than yourself?

Then why doesn't the French Laundry do this? Or the Inn at Little
Washington? Or Topolobampo? Or Del Posto? Or any of the entries on my
top restaurants list?

The practice is Stupid, with a capital S.

This place does not take reservations -- it is not a "classy"
restaurant. And while the menu looks good, the wine list has no prices
and is distinctly low-end.

My wife would find such treatment insulting, as would all of the other
female executives I know. The place obviously doesn't value business
parties.

Our arrangement is that my wife pays for all meals we eat out, while I
pay for all food and drink for consumption at home. We share food and
drink selection in restaurants. We'd either both get menus and wine
lists with prices, or we'd walk out.
