i might be confused, but are you suggesting ala carte restaurants all convert to some form of AYCE system? or would it be a single free refill for the REALLY HUNGRY? cause i'm a big boy and can eat quite a bit, but more so than that, i'm a HUGE value guy. if you tell me i pay the same price and get two plates of food IF i'm hungry versus one plate if i'm not, you better bet i'm only going when i'm hungry and can eat two plates.

i honestly don't see how anyone can possibly see your suggestion as a sensible one. by the way, if you cut my portion size in half, you better cut the price in half too, otherwise i'm not coming back. i'm going to that NEW restaurant across the street who offers what you used to. i love big portions because i can bring leftovers home - i don't care that other people who cannot control their appetites finish the whole plate instead and get obese, that's their own problem not mine.
