I'm curious about this custom. How does one determine the value of the meal? What do you include? Do drinks count? Do you not determine your gift until you are there and see what is served? Do you give the same amount whether you choose the pasta or the filet mignon option? What if it is a buffet? Do you ask what they paid per person or do you just estimate what you think it is costing?
