* One of these is used as part of a ''metaphor'' in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun''. The villain, [[spoiler:Funny Valentine]], asks at one point which napkin you take at a high-class dinner: the one to your left, or the one to your right? The answer is that whoever takes their napkin first makes the decision for everyone else due to the domino effect. As such, the villain wants to "take the first napkin" - decide everyone else's fates.

* ''Literature/TheDinner'': The main events of the novel take place in a nameless restaurant that's clearly on the higher end of fine dinning. The dishes served are clearly expensive and the general atmosphere of the place is meant to make the diners feel like one of the upper crust. This is to bring a stark contrast to the actual discussion of violence and murder that the main character and his family are having.

* ''Manga/EmmaAVictorianRomance'' frequently has this trope due to half of the cast are members of the higher society, and nearly all of the other half are servants of those members. For example, at one point, William, Eleanor, and other nobles have a dinner party at a mansion together, enjoying delicious foods and drinks in a calm, elegant atmosphere. Then the scene cuts to the chaotic kitchen of the house where the foods are being made by the servants.
