Has anyone heard of any case scenarios where business meals are 100%
deductible; such as, strategy meetings or on site/working meetings?
I'm familiar with the limitations around employee meals and which are
100% deductible. However, this would be with current and/or
prospective clients. Thx.

If it qualifies as a "de minimus" benefit, it would be 100% deductible
and not taxable to the employee.
Pub 15-B addresses this issue, but I don't see it as applicable to
clients.
