When I do my deduction, you don't see me trying to make it look like going to the restaurant with my kids is a business expense. It would be possible to argue... In your example, while you can certainly argue that, I’d say there’s a not-so-negligible non-zero chance the IRS won’t see it that way and any potential risk/penalties don’t make the upside worth it.
