Restaurants experimenting with smaller portions

Will Diners Still Swallow This? - New York Times:

As chief executive of Carlson Restaurants Worldwide he has chopped portion sizes at T.G.I. Friday’s, Carlson’s chain known for calorie-rich items like deep-fried potato skins stuffed with Cheddar cheese, bacon and sour cream. In a closely watched experiment, Friday’s will see whether diners will order what it calls “Right Size” portions that, on average, are about two-thirds the size of the usual serving.

All I can say is that it’s about time. I’m tired of looking at the senior citizen’s menu and its normal sized portions, and not being able to order from it.
