Myself and three others won an award. It comes with a $2,500 award and a dinner at a local fine dining restaurant for myself + a guest with the CEO.

What should I talk about with the CEO?

If you're going to say the kind of stuff you say around here, probably better if you don't say too much at all.

Edit: Congrats on the award though.
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.

Talk about anything but work. Ask them about their hobbies and interests and try not to monopolize the floor. Keep the CEO speaking and listen with rapt attention.

What's the purpose of a dinner when a bonus is actually beneficial and will be more highly regarded by the employee making them more likely to stay longer and leading to less staff attrition?

Whatever you do, don't talk business, at least not until after the meal.

I did get a bonus ($2500). The dinner is in addition to that, for myself + a guest. This place has $80 steaks, so thats like another $200 on top, since drinks are included too.

They are normal people. Just try to have a good dinner and relax. Find out what he is interested in and ask him about it. It wont hurt if he remembers you as a decent person.

Class consciousness.
The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

That one is easy, since were a government contractor I looked up our contract! He makes about $400k/year, which isnt a lot for a CEO of ~10k employees. However, the bonus structure is 0.25% of entire payroll split between the CEO and his 13 direct reports (executive managers) per year. The way its split wasnt defined in the contract from my quick read, so I bet its not an even split. But for funsies, lets said it is:
$120k average salary * 10k employees * 0.25% = $3,000,000 / 14 people = $215k/year in bonuses, should they meet targets.
