This is why I hate potatoes soo much. There are wayyy too many restaurants that depend on potatoes for margin.
- chrisseaton 8y agoWhat kind of restaurants are you thinking of? I've never eaten in a restaurant and thought they're bulking on potatoes. I find restaurants steer very clear of potatoes because they don't have any wow factor, and with the volume of food that goes to waste in most restaurants to produce a perfect little plate are they really worried about how much the raw materials are costing them?
- ac29 8y agoPlenty of places in the US will happily drop 500+ calories of french fries on a plate of food. Granted that is mostly limited to "American" food.
- bobthepanda 8y agoThere are other equivalents; Cantonese places will try to load up on bean sprouts to boost the weight of the dish.
- chrisseaton 8y ago> to boost the weight of the dish This claim doesn't make any sense. Who buys restaurant dishes by weight?
- bobthepanda 8y agoI misspoke and meant to say volume. That being said, you can buy some Cantonese food by weight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siu_yuk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siu_yuk
- pandapower2 8y agoAlthough weight may still have some validity in terms of making you feel full and satisfied.
- nitrogen 8y agoThere's a buffet near where I work that sells by weight.

- whateveracct 8y agoPretty sure those places also feature potatoes heavily because people like to eat them with those entrees. I know I love mashed potatoes with my steak. And fries with my burger.
