I want that upsize option, but only not a fast food. You can find deals and coupons for restaurants at <a href="http://www.cheaplocaldeals.com" target="_blank">www.cheaplocaldeals.com</a> and save if that helps. I use it and save on restaurants here in virginia beach, va. Hope that helps! I agree too. I want that upsize option, but only not a fast food.

I have worked at restaurants and they don't give different portion options. Although, I don't know how hard or confusing it would be for the cook to get used to preparing different portions. In some restaurants there is different salad portions, so it shouldn't be that hard. Although, do you think a person would want to receive half a steak or half a chicken? They may not be able to offer different sized portions due to health regulations. But, with pasta this accommodation would be easy. Hopefully, there can be something worked out in regard to different size portions. I agree!! I have worked at restaurants and they don't give different portion options.

Went to the Cheesecake Factory once for breakfast. The omelet they served me must have been created with 16 eggs. It was big enough for at least 3 people. No portion options. My other pet peeve in the USA is pasta sauces. Not their existence per se, but the fact that you can seemingly _only_ buy them in these 4 gallon jars in the supermarket. I want enough to make a single meal, and not have to keep this half used bottle in the fridge for a week and then trash it when I forget which president was in power when I bought it. Agreed.

YEARS. I still try to order from the kid's menu. Most of the time, they'll let me if my husband orders an adult meal. I fit in perfectly in Asia because the portions they serve are half the size as here. I even go as far as asking for 1/2 or 2/3 of the plate and pay for the whole thing, so I won't have to throw it out. I always go home with a doggie bag. Needless to say I don't do "all you can eat" buffets. The last time I went to one I had a cup of soup. I have been struggling with this issue for years. YEARS.

I'm no expert on restaurant margins (I assume they're small for food), but you'd think that smaller portion options would allow for higher margins. If a full portion cost $14, I don't think it would be out of line to ask for $8-9 for a half portion. Couldn't agree more.
