This is the most annoying post of the day and it's only 11 am. 2 meat, 1 salad, 2 pasta (one pretty plain) would be a basic order. Work up or down depending on the actual audience. An adult could be a social xray who will have a lettuce leaf and 12 glasses of wine or a bear of a guy who can knock off a pound of pasta waiting for the turkey on Thanksgiving. So, you know, read the rooom. [ Reply | More ]

op: social x-ray! ily. adults are a mix. 1 big eater, 1 average, 2 that pick. considering getting 2 of the same meat dish so theres enough to go around. a dish for 3 split between 8 people means everyone gets 1 bite. you hear me? [ Reply | More ]

So, back to "read the room" or even just ask if people would prefer to have "enough" of one thing or a few bites of a few things. [ Reply | More ]

You really needed to crowdsource the order? And think it will work when no one here knows the people or restaurant? Just ask the waitstaff when you order, this is not difficult. [ Reply | More ]
