As for portion sizes, it's pretty scary how much they vary. In Albany, Berkeley, and San Francisco, if you go to a steak house you can expect steaks ranging from a 6 ounce filet mignon (about 175 grams) to a 14-ounce prime rib (roughly 400g); all perfectly reasonable. Yet when Shiro took us to a steak house in Fremont, barely 50 km south of us, the <i>smallest</i> steak you could get was 500g, and the prime rib weighed in at a whopping 48 oz (1.5 kg), with a notice on the menu that, "No, we do not serve smaller portions, as we cook on the bone to ensure quality."</p>
<p>It would have been a far more believable lie if they hadn't served my "medium rare" prime rib well past medium well and into well.</p>
