[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all be crazy.  If you think I’m not eating the extra Peter Luger steak from last night because it’s (horrors) “leftovers,” you must think pigs have wings.[/quote]

What is this "extra" steak you speak of?

My family will eat all the steak at the restaurant.

We don't do a ton of leftovers, we just plan well.  But if there is leftover meat, then of course we will keep it and repurpose it.  But generally, at restaurants we order a quantity we finish.  [/quote]

How do you gauge the portion size when ordering?  And don't you ever get full quicker then you might on another night?  [/quote]

I generally know how hungry I am when I sit down, and I order appropriately.  If it's a brand new place, I might glance at other tables, to get a sense of portion sizes, or ask the waiter.  I might decide to share something, or get an appetizer.  If I underestimate, I'll get dessert, or ask for more bread, or at a place like Peter Luger's where the sides are separate, add an extra side.

If I'm at Peter Luger's and we order too much, then I'll eat the steak, because the steak is the point of being there, so if I have leftovers they won't be steak.

(Note: Peter Luger's is way above my budget, so this is all hypothetical.  But if I did get enough money to go there, I would arrive hungry and eat what I ordered)[/quote]
