There are getting to be more and more places that do the half order thing. I remember a place in town I used to breakfast at periodically that had a 2.99 breakfast special that was 2 eggs, 4 sausage links, 2 dinner plate sized pancakes, and a mountain of hashbrowns. Obscene amount of food. One morning I asked the gal for the breakfast special but I only wanted 1 pancake and half an order of hashbrowns. Her response? That isn't the breakfast special, you are ordering ala carte. My response was then give me the special but bring 2 plates. She did and I said hold up a minute and scraped off about 3/4 of the hasbrowns and threw one of the pancakes on top and said throw that away because I don't even want to look at that much food on my plate. Like what sense did that make?

Ken, Do the Applebees in your area have the new mix and match lunch menu? $5.99 for soup/salad combo or $6.99 if you do something other than soup. Last week I had the oriental chicken salad and a three cheese penne pasta. Wonderful. The servings are reduced from the regular menu size, and it's just the right amount of food for me. PS - My daughter is waiting tables at Applebees. She makes good tips there.
