sommap - I support you in regards to taking home leftovers!! Dining out is costly and seeing leftover food disgusts me. Food is meant to be eaten...not thrown away. I throw away food if it goes bad (I don't eat food past expiration dates!), but I do my best to both manage my diet and not be wasteful.

I bring any leftovers home for my husbands lunch the following day .... unless we are away from home or not going home for hours, in that case it wouldn't be safe to keep the leftovers unrefrigerated.

I'm a college student living on my own. I eat leftovers all the time...they are the best! When money is tight leftovers are the only thing I can really have. I love leftovers from Olive Garden though...they are my favorite :)

I always eat leftovers from a restaurant unless I really didn't like the food to begin with. However I have more of an issue eating my own leftovers from each meal. I tend to forget it or my boyfriend eats it. Sometimes I remember to stick it in the freezer so I can eat it much later.

I definitely take leftovers home. I often see leftovers left by customers at the restaurant. It is truly disheartening to see people waste food like that when every plate meticulously takes time for the kitchen staff to prepare. As one person casually waste food as we speak, someone dies from starvation. >:( That deducts merit. People have every right to take food home when they paid for it unless the food doesn’t suit their taste bud.

I take home leftovers all the time and eat it the next day for lunch. :) The only time I don't is when I can't get it back to the fridge in a reasonable amount of time. I paid for that food and I'm going to eat it! And I don't mind leftovers, they make good lunches or a pot luck night where everyone can eat all the leftovers from the last few days. I have a hard time cooking for less people and so we will usually have something left over almost every night. But it gets eaten so I don't worry too much about it.

I usally order too much and then I have to bring part of it home with me.  No use leaving it there for them to throw away.  There are so many people out there that are going hungry.

It all depends on what kind of food it is.  Because some food just dont taste good after being microwaved.

I always bring home my leftovers when I have them.  The only time I don't is when I am out somewhere and won't be returning home for a while so the food would have to sit in the car.

I like bringing home leftovers. Like Kisst, I don't like to waste food. Sometimes, the leftovers are better the second day!

The restaurants purposely serve big portions.

If there is any leftover from the meals then yes, I'll eat the leftovers.
