I hate expensive places.

What the fork?!? 18 dollars?
Bring your own fork. Go buy one. Share the fork. Split it in two with your bare hands. It's easier than getting one from them.
He could just ask for an extra plate but it would probably cost $60

I think the fork (as well as being an actual fork) is a metaphor. I don't think taking your own fork would stop them charging you. DUnno. Never going in there. (It also means that there is going to be not a single dish that's less tha $18 in there...)
Sounds like you should expect them to be in the $40 range.

It's barely shy of my all time best for flavour, they are deadly consistant, wonderfully polite family run, in the same parking lot as that Redwater Grill place I'm complaining about, and to feed the kids with us and take home two lunch servings cost $1.30 less than that steak. Seriously what the mullet?
A woman I know finally got off the phone. Sometimes I just don't want to be bothered knowing that they got freaked out by a spider in their bathroom and how I suck for not driving 20 minutes to take care of it.
