Also, thanks WOMEN!!  The men are relatively keeping it together.  I started a new exercise routine that's more cardio-centric and personally have dropped about 2.5 pounds, and I was already lean :) 5'10" and 149 to 146.5...I think that's about bottom for me

Just think, Simms, in a few more weeks you'll be able to just slide into that Size 0 and really WOW the upper management with more than what your stellar resume can include.

I know right?  That's the plan!  I think people reward/migrate towards other people who care about their appearances - in-shape/good-looking people seem to do better than average!

Hashtag comeback?!?!? 

Call it what you will, but I'm not the one who posted his/her height/weight.  If I didn't know any better I'd say you were gloating;  maybe I'm wrong.  And since I didn't see a picture, I can only go by your own self-description of 'good-looking', but, again, the self-glossing is to be expected, right? 

So thanks for the contribution to the thread, as usual, and good luck losing those next couple lbs.  Maybe after one of your average priced $85 haircuts you should try some hot yoga.  I hear it's a great technique to shed those last couple 'baby' pounds.

And to answer your question, "No".  There isn't exactly any correlation between restaurant quality (read price) and portion size.  Benu is running an 18 course Chef Tasting if you're in the area.  And most other 'fine dining' establishments typically serve close to a pound of food per entree:  4-6oz protein, 4-6 oz veggie and another 4-6 oz starch, not including specials and risottos.
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I would say so.

At least it's a deal, I guess.
