Yeah, me too. Some places seem to think that they're doing you a favor by heaping mountains of food on a plate. I'm not a big eater (and yet still eat too much...), and I don't like having to send back a half full plate. Just give me a normal portion already; although I've stopped asking for it, because 90% of restaurants have no clue on how to approximate the size of a 'normal' portion, or the concept of 'balance' (half the amount of pasta with the same amount of sauce - thanks but no thanks).
