Perhaps in light of the big food holidays [1] coming up, I've been giving a little bit of thought to portion control lately. I recently had a debate with a friend over whether we'd rather eat lots of mediocre food or a smaller quantity of very delicious food.

My friend said he'd rather eat more — but then again, he grew up in a place where portions were huge and buffets were everywhere. I, on the other hand, would rather eat outstanding food in smaller quantities — that is, unless I'm starving.

What about you? Would you go to a more expensive restaurant that served you less over a buffet restaurant where you can eat an unlimited amount of food?
