I agree with the OP that the Chop House missed the boat by referring to their highest priced meal and calling it a special.

Maybe in Hooterville and Petticoat Junction, but once you get out into a somewhat more sophisticated environment (such as Secaucus, N.J.
), a special is simply an entre that is not on the usual menu, and is likely priced equal to or higher than the regular menu. It is NOT by default a cheaper meal.
