[nagdu] Dallas restaurant

I often compensated for the high priced restaurant meals by going to
the Gossip/coffee bar on the Tower side. Perhaps not the healthiest of
meals, but it was lots cheaper than paying $15 or more for a meal.
There was also the Common Grounds bestro, which extended their hours
to accommodate the convention last year I believe. When general
sessions are going on later in the convention week, there's always all
the peddlers in the foyer area where you can get a quick snack and
take it in with you to session. And don't forget about the ever
popular merchant's Division Snack Pack for $5 a piece. In short, lots
of ways to beat the pricing system. The first year I went, when coming
back with my work colleagues, where we all got most of our convention
expenses paid for, I had saved around $30 by using some of these
methods. Some people gave me a hard time, but the fact was, I came
back with money, where they did not.
