re: Anything cheesier than being out of town on business trip & eating at a chain restaurant?

Yes. I used to sell into a very blue collar industry and entertain the CEOs of these places - oftentimes guys who came up through the ranks.
I would take them out to dinner - all on me and they would choose places like Golden frickin' Corral. I would tell them it is on me choose somewhere nice and they would say GC is nice.
I freaking hated entertaining back then. Now that I am in a different industry the entertainment is much better.

That is frustrating. I can tell you as someone on the other end, I get hit up all the time. Per company policy, I can't take anything over $25, even meals, from a vendor. If I do, I have to log it and pay taxes. I just don't tell anyone most of the time, but I know some chatty vendors that talk with management, and I do Chick-fil-a with them.
