I've got a question regarding the sentence ending で in the second sentence.
はじめ：まずは腹ごしらえしておこうよ。
たもつ：じゃあ、僕はチーズバーガーで。
Here is で part of a contraction Japanese use in their daily speech? If so what is the textbook version of the sentence?
Thank you!

Sorry i didn't elaborate on the context! Hajime and Tamotsu are at a fast food restaurant, and the second line should be Tamotsu giving his order to the shop assistant. Thus I think で腹はらごしらえする may not be the best fit for the context...– Darren Teo Zhong YingSep 28 '15 at 16:09

As the dialog gives us no other clues what たもつ really had in his mind, I think 「僕はチーズバーガーで[腹]{はら}ごしらえする／腹ごしらえしておく」 would be the most logical expansion.
じゃあ、僕はチーズバーガーで。
in textbook version would look like:
それでは、僕はチーズバーガーにします。
In this case 「で」 expresses his choice.
