I have heard the same thing. Claim Jumper epitomizes the portion issue. I mean who the heck offers a 6 layer slice of cake (as big as a single cake itself) for dessert on their menu! (It is really good though ). I love their food, but even a half sized meal from them is overkill for one person!

I think Claim Jumper alone is responsible for at least 1% of the US's obesity problems
