"By yourself" is not dinner for two.
Besides, you're missing my point -- It is possible for two people to eat dinner for
far less the 10K that your post suggests as the minimum for dinner. You can even eat very well, indeed, for far less than 10K between two people.
Of course, if you pare the budget back to <1K, you're talking about a very frugal, bare minimum affair. But it does serve to highlight the fact that it's plain wrong to suggest that one needs 10K to feed two people at dinner time.
