Leftovers from a restaurant

[LeeStreet]

Sitting here eating my leftover breakfast from Sunday, I thought I ask how many people really eat their leftovers when they bring them home from a restaurant.

 

[Knife Lady]

I do if I remember to bring it home instead of leaving it in the to go box on the table at the restaurant

 

[eldirector]

Never EVER leave leftover mexican food in the car overnight.... yech!

My wife routinely eats half, and keeps the other half for lunch the next day. Most restaurant portions are MUCH to large for her.

i almost always eat it when i get home from the restaurant, lol.

then my wife never eats her leftovers so i get those the next day for lunch or breakfast

I usualy order a lot more than I will eat on purpose so I can take something home for a snack. usually I will order a couple appetizers and eat them and take 3/4 of the main entree home.

Only pizza.

I recently started asking for a box when the food is brought. Portions being as large as they generaly are, and usually having a salad to start, 1/2 to 2/3 of a meal is more than enough.

For a while, my girlfriend and I got into the habit of either sharing an appetizer or having salads to start then splitting an entree. Kind of tough in some restaurants though.

Went out to eat with some friends from France a while back. They were sorta taken aback by the offer of a to-go box. Apparently this is not common in the EU.

I always do

I'm eating lunch out of a foam box right now. Beats the heck out of a PBJ sandwich.

It's just heart breaking to leave it on the table or in the car over night.

 

[dom1104]

Yeah. I always eat mine.

 

[iamaclone45]

I always eat leftovers, if I bring any home. I typically eat them for lunch the next day.

 

[badwolf.usmc]

I eat them ~95% of the time, for the wife it is more like ~50%.

 

[redneckmedic]

Nothing better than Cold Leftovers for breakfast... especially cold pizza!!!!

 

[HighStrung]

Only time I don't is when I'm running out the door the next day and forget them.

 

[henktermaat]

Most leftovers are better the next day... I always eat them (if I don't forget them on the table that is )

 

[Clay]

we always eat ours. Usually ends up as my lunch the next day.

 

[scottka]

Yep, if there are leftovers, they always come home and get eaten. I'm with ESRanger though, a lot of times they get eaten within a couple hours of being home. Haha.

 

[williamsjr22]

We don't even ask for a box anymore. We'll either forget it when we leave or it will sit in the fridge until we throw it away. I wish my wife and I were not as wasteful, but it is what it is.

 

[DialTone301]

I rarely have any leftovers....maybe that is why I am fat.

 

[Audie Murphy]

Restaurant leftovers usually do not make it through the night.
