Sorry, I'm with the disgusted poster. I'm hardly a gourmet eater. I enjoy Applebee's, California Pizza Kitchen, all sorts of chain mid range stuff. But the portion sizes at Cheesecake factory nauseate me. It's just such a giant waste (and even with doggie bags, you know a ton is wasted) and needless gluttonous display. Those calorie counts say it all. They pack over a days entire calories onto one plate. I get it, it's their shtick, but I won't go back.

And that is why I have never and probably will never go back.


I hope that you were dining with people you are close with who could see past your awful judgmental nature, or perhaps you're telling the story here in a way that makes it sound way worse than it was...


Probably because he was horrified that someone could be so wasteful. You sound like a peach.

I did, and no one wanted it. They had their own ginormous entrees to contend with.


Then take the box and give it to a homeless person, who probably wouldn't have been so disgusted.
