I went to Applebees during the weekend and I ordered the Fiesta Lime Chicken because i have never tried this one before. I noticed that the meal was way to big for only one person. Also, we ordered a special of 2 meals, and an appetizer for only $20. Between me and Michael, we ate the appetizer, and then they brought us our two meals. So all this food was big for two people, plus the price is unbeatable! My dish came with rice, tortilla and cheese on top of the chicken. The size of the chicken was enormous, and the plate was big to fit all that food. This meal represents a traditional American restaurant. When you go to eat to restaurants like applebees, you get so full that you do not eat anything else for the rest of the day. I think that the US has a big problem of their food size which is very convenient to fit your budget. They give you an enormous amount of food for a very low prize. This leads to obesity and when people go to these restaurants and eat all this quantity, later people need to eat more and more. Plus, it is ridiculous that they ask you if you still want dessert! I have never been able to eat dessert at any of these restaurants! The food is always very big.
That meal sounds delicious! And all of that for only twenty bucks? Sounds like a good deal to me. So for your presentation will you be bringing up the issue of the size/amount of the food?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was a very satisfying meal and at a great price. It is true that most restaurants now carry their dishes at enormous portions.
