Prefix Or Fixed?

In reference to an advertisement on page 45 of the October 30 issue in which an advertiser offers a “prefix menu,” I assume that I could order unsweetened iced tea as my drink, salad with nonfat dressing, mini-rolls with polyunsaturated margarine, a demitasse of soup, and an entrée consisting of a super-sized hamburger and refried beans. After a dessert of a mousse made with semi-sweet chocolate, I would end it all with decaffeinated coffee.

Does anyone out there proofread advertising copy?
