Last month I
gave a bag of restaurant tortilla chips to a stranger to avoid eating the whole thing. Not too long after that I learned that at least at some fast casual Mexican restaurants you can order a kid's size bag of chips.
Today when I went through the line at
Chipotle I ordered an adult-sized entree. When I got to the cashier, she asked if I wanted a drink or chips. It felt really funny to ask for a child's bag, but the cashier didn't blink an eye. She just reached around, pulled a small bag off the display, and put it on my tray.
According to the Chipotle website a regular bag of chips contains four ounces, and the kid's size bag is a quarter of that. Price-wise the large bag is a much better deal, but when I left the restaurant (after eating everything on my tray) I didn't feel stuffed. There's something to this portion control stuff!

or you could take some home, if you had got the large bag for the same price, just saying!
ReplyDeleteI could, but I don't have much willpower :-)
DeleteWe know we don't need those chips. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteNo, we don't.
Deleteone more reason God gave us ziplock baggies! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, if only I could keep my hands out of the bag until I was able to put it INTO a ziplock!
DeleteYay! Good for you. I need to learn to do that too.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck.
DeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteRegine, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
DeleteVery cool. Good on you.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Chipolte. I hear its good. But good for you for showing restraint!
ReplyDeleteIt is. However, I rarely eat out, so when I do it's always a treat.
