D.C. restaurant embraces GLP-1 appetites with mini-meals

Out: Tapas. In: Mini-meals designed for shrunken Ozempic appetites, a side effect of the GLP-1 drug craze hitting U.S. restaurants.

Driving the news: D.C.'s first slimmed-down menu just debuted at Cuba Libre downtown: A "GLP-Wonderful" lineup of downsized Cuban classics.

• Think lil' protein-packed plates of typically hearty dishes like ropa vieja — all dietitian-approved.
• Portions are more than half the size of regular entrees, and are priced at 25% less to reflect shrinkage ($20-$25, protein is pricey).

Wegovy out and try it through October.
