A plastic beaker?!? He'll probably avoid the beer.

But then I'll stay at other Marriotts/Hiltons that stock cheese & crackers and 5:30PM and when the stuff runs out an hour later, that's it... It depends on the property.
But really: if he's not on his own dime - just trying to stick within a somewhat tight per diem, for example - maybe he should check out something like Chowhound to find good dinner recommendations that won't break the bank?
Chowhound? He's just being cheap, so it might work. Seriously though, if it's edible, he'll eat enough to make it a meal.
