I hope this trend continues, but the framing here is odd. Restaurant meal portions in the US are huge compared to other countries. One doesn't need to be on a diet or taking diet drugs to benefit from smaller portions (especially paired with a smaller bill).
- apothegm 1y agoTrue. Though if you’re paying for sit-down service anyway, the marginal cost of ingredients is relatively low, especially in places with pricey real estate or where tipped wage is higher than the federal minimum. Might as well pay a few extra bucks for the larger serving and have leftovers, IMO. Last time I dined out, we noticed the smaller portions (mostly cutting out the potatoes or rice that always used to be served under each entree). What caused us to notice it? We had room for dessert afterward! (And yes, the restaurant made more money from us that way, too.)
