1/2 to 2/3 ofmy meal in a doggie bag--and I end up eating that food for two or three days! I wish they would reduce portions drastically, but they can charge so much more for huge portions than the cost of the food, that they have financial reasons to serve the big portions.

Besides, most Americans are so used to the big portions now that a restaurant that serves normal portions would be rejected.
