I’m tapping this out on the train home from the airport.
One thing I really noticed on this visit to New Orleans: Portion size. Just about EVERY SINGLE PLACE I went to eat at served me 2-3x what I felt was a sane amount. So then I could waste food, overeat, or take some home for later – and honestly I was like, I wanted to eat this thing ONCE, not for the next two damn days. It is no wonder that people in that city are so fat.
I’m glad to be back in a West Coast city that routinely serves people one person’s worth of food at restaurants.
