"I'm glad many of you out there are feelin' good and lookin' svelte, but if we're friends going out to dinner together and you're taking Ozempic or any other GLP-1s, I feel like you need to disclose this when we're deciding where to go since you won't be eating or drinking very much. Like, let's skip the tasting menu or the dim sum feast and get sushi instead."
"Odd plating. This is officially making me nuts: restaurants that serve appetizers with three portions/bites to two guests. I understand the visual appeal of odd numbers, but don't make me Rochambeau with my date for the third oyster, or whatever impossible thing to share that has been served to us. (Unless, there's a ghost at the table that I'm just not seeing. Or we're having dim sum-three is for harmony and good fortune, and I will not mess with that.)"
People taking GLP-1 medications should inform dining companions before choosing a restaurant so selections suit reduced appetite and avoid wasted courses. Dining companions can adapt by picking lighter options, sharing small plates, or pre-eating to maintain enjoyment without pressure. Restaurants should avoid promoting 'girl dinner' as a menu item or special because it trivializes eating habits and feels gimmicky. Plates should be portioned practically for sharing; odd numbers that force unequal division are inconvenient and awkward. Dim sum-style odd portions are acceptable due to cultural meanings, but most odd plating trends need reconsideration for clear, comfortable dining experiences.
