A restaurant bill that's easier to swallow

The restaurant industry is grappling with higher food prices, particularly beef, which means the bill is going to be a little tougher to swallow.

But instead of changing the menu lineup, what about focusing more on smaller portions, which, if I remember, was all the rage not too long ago.

If you can avoid getting an appetizer and dessert, which restaurants are banking on to offset the smaller price you'll pay for that smaller portion, your bill may be a little easier to swallow these days.

Have you tried the smaller portions, and if so, why? (Price? Dietary reasons? Both?) Or maybe you're not willing to part with the larger portions, no matter how much the menu price tag grows.

I've cut my dining-out at sit-down places to once or twice a month. The prices are ridiculous.
