I've noticed since moving to Philly, when I go to a restaurant and only eat half or 2/3 of my meal, too many times the server will look concerned or offended and ask, "Was the food OK?" or even, "Whatsa matter, didn't you like the food?" What the hell! My standard response has become, "That was A LOT of food," because usually, it IS too much. One restaurant entree is often big enough for at least two normal meals.
