[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Agree what pp said about observing food brought to tables to gauge portion sizes.

When in doubt, my spouse and I order half what we think we’ll both eat, with the caveat “we can always order more”. We never order more and always leave with nothing.

How do you order half what you’ll eat? Most restaurant portions are way too big. Do you order only one entree? We order two, knowing we will bring some home.[/quote]

This widely varies by restaurant.

If the portions are large, we split the entree and pad the check with wine.

We do bring home food if we are eating an early dinner and know we will be hungry later, maybe it was a heavy gym day. These are gray area leftovers.

I wouldn't feel right about splitting the entree at a restaurant.  This is a little ridiculous.[/quote]
