This is an urban legend that has been going around for years. The original
version has the food as "Red Velvet Cake," the amount of the bill as $300,
and the location as the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Otherwise, the story
is exactly the same. Check out the entry in the book BIGGER SECRETS (1986)
by William Poundstone, page 24.
