I feel this way about some food places. Not all, but defintely some will charge a decent amount for something and then i get it and go wow thats a lot of food! Ill eat maybe half of it and its then 50/50 if i have the leftovers. I always think instead of charging me $15 for this why not give me the option of paying like $8 for half the amount. Especially these days, give me the cheaper option please! People are always looking for a cheap deal. Closest thing ive seen to this is a chain mexican place that offered exactly that, instead of the regular nachos they had a mini version and was still to big to eat it all. They also had a budget option for tacos as well that was great.
The cost of a meal is ingredients + labor + small portion of overhead (rent/electricity/etc.)
In most cases where meals are prepared individually the amount of labor is roughly the same for double or half the ingredients. That is why there is frequently why twice as much food is less than twice the price and a half portion is 2/3 the price.
