The Old Spaghetti Factory! Mmmm!

Last Thursday was my first ever visit to the famous Toronto Old Spaghetti Factory. I loved it! Today was my second visit - and I ordered the same meal! Lasagna! Mmmm! How come it took me so long to discover this place?

Whenever I eat out, the table-server brings me my food, and holy cow - the chef piles on the food! I think “How am I gonna eat all this? Especially all the fries?!” Canadians (and Americans) eat too much. Way too much. Our society is full of over-eaters and this is the reason why!
Restaurants load up our plates with more food than our stomachs can store! And we don’t want to waste it coz we paid for it, so - we eat it all - like pigs! And then we order a re-fill on the drink. And then it's dessert time!

I read that if we reduced our servings by half, we could keep our weight under control. How about this? What if we ordered ONE meal and split it? We’d save a bunch of money.

So today at the Old Spaghetti Factory we ordered ONE serving of lasagna and ONE salad. (We ordered individual drinks, of course!) It was a perfect lunch. Awesome food! Didn’t feel stuffed.Didn’t feel broke.

Have YOU been to the Old Spaghetti Factory?

What do you think of ordering one meal and splitting it?
