Restaurant Tells Diners To Eat Everything On Their Plate

Chef Yukako Ichikawa will offer a 30% discount to patrons who eat all the food they have ordered, and will kindly ask those who don't clean their plates to not come back. "Finishing your meal requires that everything is eaten except lemon slices, gari (sushi ginger), and wasabi," says the menu. "Please also note that vegetables and salad on the side are NOT decorations; they are part of the meal too."

That assumes that the portions are reasonable for the person who ordered it. My wife is petite, can rarely finish a whole entree, and usually takes half of it home. What's his policy on taking it home for later? Since he seems to be offering garnishes that are appropriate for sushi, chances are that not too many of his patrons are eager to a doggie bag of highly perishable food home.

I can understand this policy at a buffet restaurant, but if I walk in and order a specific menu entree, I expect that the fact I paid for it gives me the right to do with it as I damn well please. I'm not paying him to be my mother. I'm paying him to prepare the damn food.
