I keep a Boker knife and fork set in my cars and pickup, usually for "All Day Singings and Dinner on the Ground" occasions at church. However, I have been know to retrieve them when needed at a restaurant, and more often than not, a manager will come over, apologize for the quality of the meat and give us some kind of discount.
On a side note, I always take my own 2 piece custom made chop sticks to Asian restaurants. So far none of them have ever offered a discount though. Talk about tight wads!
Those custom chop sticks should give you an edga if a brawl breaks out at the all you can eat crab bar.
