Worst (Restaurant) Foods in America, 2010

When we published our first edition of Eat This, Not That: Worst Foods in America back in 2007, we made a lot of restaurant chains very unhappy. But we also made a lot of their attorneys really, really happy, as they soon began earning massive legal fees sending us saber-rattling correspondences on behalf of the food marketers they represented.

As 2010 draws to a close, it's time for another walk down the Hall of Restaurant Shame...

Think I'll go by Grandys and get a double Chicken fried steak dinner with extra rolls on the way home from work tonight.

It's not nice to tease me like that. Their chicken rocked too (at least the one in Gallup did.) Then again, I live in New England where the price of lobster is under $5/lb. Fried lobster is AWESOME.

Yeah, a turkey egg white omelette. hate healthy options. I’d rather eat what I want a skip a meal.

I want a Braum’s banana split on wednesday and I am hoping to get a double bacon cheeseburger, fries and soda there on Friday. I’m fat but at least I ain’t some sour-faced liberal eating cardboard.

Denny’s never seems fresh to me.

Not yet... a great failing on my part.

Sadly, I have to agree. The new Sadies (if you can call a restaurant almost 20 years old new) isn’t as good. They have a second location at Eubank and the freeway now, and I’ve been meaning to try it out.

I still have a T shirt from the bowling alley Sadies. (It seems to have shrunk since 1988, I wonder why that is?)

I’m driving from Colorado to Maryland later this week. I have tough choice to make. Take I-90 and go a little faster, or take I-70 and stop in Kansas City for a big fatty rack of ribs.

Hmmm. Decisions....Thinking...Ribs wins

I diet during the week and workout for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week so I can splurge on the weekends. It is worth it.

I first thought this was about the worst tasting food or worst value but they are talking about health. Why didn’t they just say that to start with.

I don't make any effort to seek out such articles, but I do see them from time to time. I've seen enough to assume nowadays that if some article's about the "worst" foods, drinks, meals, or something like that, it's a sermon about What We Shouldn't Put in Our Mouths.

On occasion, I'm pleasantly proved wrong and the article's more like what you thought, but that kind of thing is clearly the exception in these enlightened days.
