Plenty of places in the US will happily drop 500+ calories of french fries on a plate of food. Granted that is mostly limited to "American" food.

There are other equivalents; Cantonese places will try to load up on bean sprouts to boost the weight of the dish.

> to boost the weight of the dish

This claim doesn't make any sense. Who buys restaurant dishes by weight?

There's a buffet near where I work that sells by weight.
