This would never work in the US. The ambulance bill would be 5x higher than the restaurant bill.

Must be one expensive meal to be 1/20th the cost of an American ambulance.

$50 vs $1000, rough approximations

My last ambulance ride was $3,400. After insurance I was still on the hook for 1,700 iirc
