I don't have refined tastes and don't eat haute cuisine. But after 21 days straight at a Springhill Suites 2 years ago, I was ready for a different breakfast and went out after that and expensed it without hesitation. And if they wanted to deny my expense report they could find someone else to go to Jackson, MS, for weeks straight to do intense coding and was willing to eat the same breakfast every day.
