A growing number of restaurants are starting to cater to customers on Ozempic by offering pint-sized portions. Clinton Hall in Midtown Manhattan is one of those restaurants, offering its Teeny Weeny Mini Meal (pictured above) designed for those on GLP-1 medications, which decrease appetite. The miniature burger dish, which is about the size of a slider, comes with a shot glass of fries and a syringe of ketchup. The menu states, “Get a shot of fun……no prescription needed.” The $8 meal also comes with a choice of a mini beer, mini martini or weeny wine. Owner Aristotle Hatzigeorgiou said he got the idea after observing friends on Ozempic take a couple of bites of their meal, a sip of wine, and then were done. They needed an option they could enjoy without wasting food. Upscale Italian restaurant Tucci in New York’s NoHo neighborhood is another spot that’s started offering Ozempic-size plates at reduced rates. One dish includes a single piece of arancini topped with caviar priced at $12, and a single meatball cooked in Tucci’s famed Calabrian chili marinara sauce for $10. Compared with the regular versions of each dish, these Ozempic plates are about one-third the size and price, yet can still be enjoyed as full meals without feeling the shame of waste.
