Now when you ask how much food most people eat, I'd say way too much. When I see some of the stuff people order, I just want to scream. Our normal burgers are 7oz, but we also do an 11oz option. By the time they add all the toppings, cheese, bacon, eggs, mayo, bbq sauce, relish, LTPO, and maybe 10 other options, plus a big pile of fries, they have a plate with 2500+ calories, who knows how many grams of fat. I once told the owner I feel like we are killing our customers. She responded, "yeah, one delicious cheeseburger at a time!" Who can argue with that! LOL!
