    He orders barbecue chicken breast — or if he’s feeling a little crazy, the pork chop, well done — plus mashed potatoes with brown gravy and an iceberg lettuce salad with Italian dressing. Though recently, he’s discovered sweet potatoes. Turns out, he likes them.

    This guy rules.

    How big are the portions if this is their one meal? Enough that skipping bread is a problem for waistline? Is this one of those places where you get a 3000 calorie plate and take some stuff home for another meal.

    For myself, this feels like a form of hell or at least purgatory. But for others this probably feels comforting...

    The headline honestly downplays it a little - not only do they go to this restaurant every day but that is their only meal of the day. More than 80% of all the meals they have eaten for 15 years (20 now) have been identical.
