Anyway, she went on to say that the small is for one, the large is for two, and extra-large is for three or four.
Bullshit!
Of course, when I picked up our large pizza, I could tell immediately that it was too big for just the two of us, even though we were pretty damn hungry!
But what if we hadn’t been so hungry? We would have only finished half of the pizza.
Now I don’t fault the restaurant for their huge serving sizes. People want an idea of what size pizza to order, and for business it’s probably better to err on the side of too much food per person.
I just wish people wouldn’t listen to the restaurant!
Because a restaurant doesn’t know how hungry you are. A restaurant doesn’t know how much food you need to be satisfied.
A restaurant has no idea if you had a snack a little while ago or if you haven’t eaten in twelve hours.
So many times, I have let restaurants tell me how much food I need.
Not anymore!
Join me this new year in not letting restaurants (or anyone else for that matter) determine how much food we need!
