You are paying for a meal, you went there for a meal- not two meals. Are you looking for leftovers when you dine out? Some of us cannot eat a whole meal at one sitting for a variety of reasons. What is wrong with taking home food you have paid for but not consumed to eat later? I always do that and, yes, one meal becomes two of more for me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a demand for it, but many local restaurants serve far more food at lunch than I can eat at one sitting. One restaurant has a "special" burger day where the burger could easily be cut in half and serve two people. I suggested to the owner than he should offer a choice of a "papaburger" and a smaller "mamaburger", but no dice. Unfortunately, burgers don't do well on reruns, so "to go" doesn't work out, but other dishes make a good warmup dinner item. The general advice of doctors is that dinner should be small and far from bedtime. Sensible advice, IMO, for a good night's sleep. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Rupert Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Listen to what I am saying, please. If you cannot eat the whole meal, then fine, bring it home. I am saying do not expect a restaurant to give you enough food to bring home for another meal. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some restaurants thinks that the large portions is a form of marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Mrs. Rupert, do you see anywhere in my comments that I EXPECTED leftovers or TWO meals? Many restaurants we go to serve so much food that I have to take it home. I was simply saying that is not the case at Bobby's restaurant. I sure wish people would refrain from putting words in other's mouths that were never said and never meant to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go there with the raving munchies and would still have to take some of my pasta dish home. Their servings easily serve two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, apparently, did not, and even after having it explained to you, still do not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
