We always cook extra for homemade frozen meals. I don't get home from work until about 8.45pm, so I like being able to just throw a homemade meal in the microwave and eating within about 5 minutes.
do you like leftovers?

I get the best results nuking for half what I think is needed, then walk away and come back after a few minutes. Then 30 seconds at a time until hot enough. That way, things are less likely to be over cooked. Microwave instruction manuals suggest the wait time.

Wife and I used to enjoy leaveovers but a bunch BBQ cooks that needed an excuse for their shortcomings made us feel poorly about reheating and consuming food.

I noticed the amount of leftovers decreases in relation to how good it is. most will eat a plate and say it's good just to be gracious but 2nds and 3rds is how you know it was good.

90% of the time I'm only cooking for 2, so heck yes I do.

Yay leftovers! We had smoked chicken stuffed baked potatoes tonight, leftover from a chicken done Friday. What didn't get ate tonight got vac sealed and froze for a later day. My chili recipe makes around 4 gallons. We eat it for 3-4 days then portion it into freezer bags. We always freeze what little pulled pork is left after a few days.
We always cook extra! Either it becomes lunch during the week or we packed it as meals and freeze for my parents (both 91).

Can't remember where I was taught this, but if you really like your meal and was happy with the service. You should always leave one bite on your plate when done, it will let the cook know that it was good and they gave you plenty to eat.

We have a friend who always does this; now I know why! She worked at Friday's when she was in college so it makes sense.

Kind of like throwing a penny in a fountain and making a wish. People don't think about it, they just do it and feel better. Anyway, the busboys will know you enjoyed it.

We must eat at different places? Where I dine, they take the salad bowl before they bring the main meal, then again take the diner plate before bringing you dessert. That dish is also usually taken before you get your bill. I must miss the busboy somehow?

the leaving a bite for good service idea is absurd. like the buser (or waitress or whatever you call them) is gonna stop by the grill on the way to the dishwasher and let the cook know table 14 left a bite in his honor
It was a small family run restaurant. If you weren't watching what was coming back on plates you weren't doing your job as a cook. Some would complain if the food wasn't good but most just didn't come back.
Trendy places the chefs are gods and the public just didn't know what good food should taste like. There's a good reason they don't stay in business long if they aren't paying attention to what's going on outside of their little part of the place.
