A plate lunch usually adds up to two or three meals for me. I tend to stop eating before I reach the point of discomfort because I hate feeling bloated after a meal.

I started feeling full halfway through a meal at Chutney. My stomach was telling me to stop, but my brain was signaling, "Keep going; you may not encounter anything this good for a while," mangling the communication of pleasure and pain. The quantity of food was not the only source of discomfort. Here they understand heat, so a request for medium-hot preparation resulted in dishes more fiery than usual, and still, I pressed on. I'm sure a brain scan at that very moment would have lighted up like that of a drug addict. CHUTNEY 661 Keeaumoku St. >> 312-4295 Login for more...
