Sauteed Prawns and Linguini...
To die for!!!
You should give them another visit sometime :-)
The Fairview and John location has the better chefs....the Airport location isn't built so much on return business but on the volume created by being just down the street from the airport.
The staff is always polite and treats you like a human being. Their 24 hour menu means that they won't say "no, we're not serving that at this time". Plenty of free parking across the street.
Never had anything approaching a bad meal there after nearly 30 years of loyal patronage
Their portions have gotten smaller and more expensive though, but most folks will still probably not leave hungry.
For dessert, the fried ice cream is always a crowd pleaser :-)
So, you want goobermint mandates for that?
Wunnerful! Landofthefree and all that.
Let them as rational, free thinking individuals make that choice.
Are we that weak that we need a govt law for everything.
Guess we are.
Agreed. a nice steak from Texas or Oklahoma is my preferred choice.
Labeling them is fine....BANNING them is the issue
Best omelettes in the USA.
I would hope it makes you more than uncomfortable. The "problem" wouldn't be a problem if not for the incredible amount of misinformation the food police and toxic terrorists have bombarded the public with. The fact is trans fats comprise less than 2% of our total caloric intake. To blame trans fats for heart disease, obesity, diabetes and sun spots is absurd especially when saturated fat is making up 12-15% of our total caloric intake.
This issue is nothing but a calorie distraction foisted on us by a bunch of know nothing do gooders who want to act like they're doing something about the problem. Typical of liberals. Results don't matter, only intentions matter.
Whatever replaces the trans fat will have just as many calories. People are obese, suffer heart disease and contract diabetes because they consume more calories than they burn. That's it in most cases. It's pretty simple really. Why we so readily sacrifice our freedom to the alter of junk science is truly disturbing.
As an aside, removing TFA's from products like cooking oil has serious negative implications for consumers. Removing these fats could result in the product oxidizing much more rapidly. Oxidation creates large amounts of free radicals. Consuming free radicals, no matter who you are, is not something you want to do. There are always unintended consequences when do gooders do good. Hence my tagline.
When I go, it’s always the Airport one, but like the last 3 times I tried to get in it was a 90 minute wait.
And they didn’t, last time I checked, take a res.
:-(
So I usually go to the casino and get the all-u-can-eat seafood buffet, which is a pretty respectable spread.
Before you know it Govt. will have banned everything that is unsafe or even marginally dangerous.
And we’ll all live forever!!
OMG they are wonderful!
Lawdy, you folks are making my tummy rumble!
Let's see....how can I justify a nice dinner out tonight?
"snicker"

I'm very sorry to hear that. I think that you will have better luck if you avoid Friday and Saturday nights....I have often gotten in on a weekday at dinnertime with less than 15 minutes' wait....and breakfasts and lunch during the week are almost always no wait at all (speaking of the Fairview and John location).
It's true about reservations....I think that they will only take them if you have a party of six or more, as I recall.
Ummmm....good
I said INFORMATION IS GOOD. And I hinted that Americans as a group are overweight.
How we gonna fight the Islamofacists, if we’re all overweight.
BTW, much of that weight sneaks up on us unaware of where the excess calories are coming from.
Information allows us to exercise self responsibility. That’s all I’m saying.
As for banning trans-fats...give ‘em an inch and they’ll take a mile. I don't believe in bans; I believe in readily available information.
>>INFORMATION IS GOOD
Yes,but the recent wholesale manipulation of scientific information, particularly in an alarmist fashion to accomplish social goals, fashioned by politicos and bureaucrats, creating in effect a nannygranny state is alarming and to me anathema to the whole concept of America and Liberty itself.
It starts with innocuos things that are hard to disagree with and then, the nature of man, government and bureaucrats being what it is, they become draconian.
Probably not. . .takes a lot of work and money. But I do think labeling is necessary as there are so many people who have the health problems you outlined. They should at least know what's in something before they eat it.
But I am against banning ingredients. Label it, then let the market decide.
