"In my experience, very few small plates really lend themselves to sharing ... many dishes served at allegedly tapas-style restaurants simply don’t split well. Either they look like a car crash by the time you’ve divided them in four, or your portion ends up being so small you hardly get to know it before it’s gone." — NYT critic Pete Wells grousing about a recent small-plates experience he suffered through, admitting that this topic is really well tread-over and that he might just sound like "an old curmudgeon heckling from the balcony."
