that's absolutely, positively fricking insane .. i believe the american heart association recommends people without high blood pressure and healthy hearts to keep their sodium intake to less than 2,500 mg a day .. if you have high BP .. you should be keeping it to 1,500 mg a day .. wow !

description for the Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad:

With applewood smoked bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, tortilla strips, house-made pico de gallo and ranch dressing.

this goes with the fried chicken strips in buffalo sauce

nothing about that sounds remotely healthy. well, maybe the pico

WOW!

I'm actually leaning toward ALL restaurants having to list in big font the number of calories in ALL of their servings. I believe that would help us make better decisions...

I was just thinking this myself. You'd see a change in portion sizes/content pretty quickly I imagine.

They need to be even more transparent for the idiots, showing the number of calories in the entire dish. You know that they would put 500 calories/serving, then off to the side show that the served portion is 4 servings

I had some problems with the angry little asian manager when we reserved a large table for a birthday party, and they wouldn't seat us until all our party had arrived.

I thought Obamacare did this for all restaurants that have 20 or more locations?

Someone was shocked?

It's hard to get a full salad under 500 cals over there.

nor at the vast majority of restaurants .. you know it better than anyone .. unless you cook or prepare it yourself .. you have no idea what they did to those green beans to add 450 calories to it ..
