One time, when I was a teenager, I went out to one of those Mongolian BBQ chains with some friends. One bowl was $X, unlimited was like $2X.

Asked the waiter "Hey if I just get the one bowl, not the unlimited, can we share?", he didn't see a problem with it.

I tiptoe gently to the grill with an architectural masterpiece: vegetables as scaffolding, meat strategically placed, literally over a foot tall. Wound up feeding four of us with leftovers.

I'm not going to say everyone clapped, but a good number of random strangers nearby did actually, literally, clap.
