I tend not to give too much of a flying flip about the calories in a restaurant meal, as I don't eat out all that often and go to enjoy myself when I do.

I *am* amused, though, that for all the histrionics fast food places have been subjected to for years, it's only now that the stuff served in chain restaurants is getting a second look.

I buy food based on Kcals/$. I can't afford to waste money and not get plenty of calories.

My comments on the dishes/restaurants, btw:

PF Chang’s - Am I the only one who doesn’t care much for that place? I admit they use better-than-average ingredients, and the meals I’ve had there were well-prepared for a chain restaurant. But I don’t get the heavy westernization of the dishes. It’s like Chinese food for people who don’t really like Chinese food?

Baja Fresh - never heard of the place, but I have yet to find a chain restaurant that could serve Mexican food as good as the honest-to-goodness Mexicans who run the taco stands and trucks in my area. Molettes, freshly made tortillas for the chile verde tacos, and so on.

IHOP- I gotta admit, that country breakfast looks mighty good. Everything is better with gravy!

The writer can go to hell. He looks like he spends most of his time in the bath houses.

All of the items this snob picked as bad look tasty. The alternatives sounded like they came out of central plannings guide book.

A man wrote that article?

It sounds as if it was written by my 12 year old daughter! One word sentences, such as “Gross”, “Again!” and using the word “doo-doo”.

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.

BTW, the worst meal I ever had at a Restaurant was Po folks in Jackson Mississippi, maybe 20 years ago. Oddly enough the one in Dothan, Alabama was real good.

Worst Breakfast
IHOP Big Country Breakfast with Chicken Fried Steak & Country Gravy
2,440 calories
145 g fat (56 g saturated)
210 g carbohydrates
5,520 mg sodium

This might possibly be my favorite restaurant dish ever. I prefer my eggs scrambled and gravy on everything (except the pancakes).

Eat This Instead!

No thanks.

Whenever I see one of these lists, I make a mental note to try as many as possible.

One of my favorite experiences was when my girlfriend and myself happened to see the list from years ago which had Outback Steakhouse’s bacon/cheese fries listed as the #1 worst appetizer in the country! We had just had that with out dinner that night! We high-fived each other and started shouting “We’re Number One! We’re Number One!”

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.

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.
