I think the dining room is meticulously stocked by professional casting agents, since it's not a real restaurant but a soundstage.

Roger's line to Don after the Dow meeting was priceless: "I'll buy you a drink when you wipe the blood off your mouth."

"Betty is wonderfully sympathetic in these moments, in a way the show doesn’t allow her to be as much anymore."
