Now I'm curious what a complete dish is in your opinion. Like there are only protein (meat, soy, bean) and carbs (potatoes, pasta, rice, corn, bread) and oil / fat that have calories. Like what else could you add to a steak? A spoonful of lard?

    I think their opinion is that fries/salad is a lazy choice of sides to complete a meal. A traditional meal is usually a combination of protein, starch, and veg. In that regard, steak+fries+salad is a "meal", but it's definitely low-effort and designed to make people not hungry as cheaply as possible.

    Good restaurants will create thoughtful sides that truly add to the dish, so it doesn't feel like you're eating "steak and some other shit".
