Maloney & Porcelli Want You To Lie About Steak

With the days of the extravagant Power Lunch all but forgotten in these tough times, Midtown steak hotshots Maloney & Porcelli are resorting to blatant falsehoods to get their meat sold! Their new website, Expense-a-Steak, lets customers enter their bill total and download a sheet of false receipts for the amount. For example, a fake $231 bill is separated into seven receipts for places like "Office Supply Hut" and "The Panini Experience." They're even offering fake doggy bags with Chipotle logos on the front! The ruse didn't come a moment too soon, because as the press release reminds us, "one of the biggest casualties of the financial crisis is the expense account meal." And President Obama isn't do anything about it, so at least Maloney & Porcelli is stepping in.

This has potential. It would be great if you could enter a date so they would all match up to one day out on the town instead of 3 different months. Also who needs 23 wire desk trays?

What else can I say? but "I love NY!" ;)

This is nothing new. Guys have been lying about their hot meat for centuries.

OMG! Try it! It's hilarious!

No problem. Whenever I pick up the tab for my parties of four or more, I use Lehman Bros. plastic.

Well at least Obama hasn't had to cut back on his expense account...flying in pizza chefs from Chicago, frivolous trips to Copenhagen that have nothing to do with presidential duties, "date night" half way across the country, flying to LA just to chit chat with Jay Leno.

ooooo i'm so angry about everything!

it probably costs more to provide him with security to take a shit than to fly in some dude to cook some pizzas; get laid, nerd.

and HES THE FUCKING PRESIDENT, if anyone deserves superpizzas it's the goddamn president. last thing we need is the dude thinking about how bad he wants some backhome pizza when he's trying to get rid of nuclear warheads.

I'm pretty sure he had other things to do flying to Copenhagen and LA. And if I was head of state of the most powerful nation on earth, and only getting paid 400k a year, I'd sure as hell would fly my Pizza to the White House as well.
