Most of that stuff looks good to me and the things they offer as substitutions dont sound nearly as good. But thats my so many people are fat I guess.

America.... fuck yeah!

Nothing from the Cheesecake Factory made the list so we can still eat all we want there.

But those Aussie Cheese Fries are damn good. I had no idea they were so lethal. I mean.... I knew they weren't a garden salad but they pack some serious bite according to this.

I used to like Chili's until they started injecting their personality into their food and became a caricature of themselves. :rolleyes:

I LOVE nutritional info like this. It helps me stay on track. Most people it would make want the stuff and I was there at one point but now I am all about nutritional facts. I want to eat to live, not live to eat. Words I thought I would never say about 3 years ago.

i'm surprised no one has ever tried to sue one of these places based on that. false advertising.

i've NEVER seen a Big Mac or a Whopper that looks like the commercials and the Wendy's burgers i've seen don't look ANYTHING like the commercials.

HOWEVER, they really could've used a better camera and lighting on some of those pictures.

I made a blog on my myspace about nutrition facts and their lack of availability at alot of resturants. I personally don't think they should be right on the main menu, if people want to be ignorant to the "facts" then so be it. But I think there should be a nutrition pamphlet availible at all resturants upon request.

It's a bit of a lengthy read, but here is my blog post on the subject...


Why America can’t help but be fat...
Category: Food and Restaurants


So, I wrote to Texas Roadhouse after checking out a few different major resturants websites noticing no nutritional facts. With my surgery, Chili is a GREAT food for me to eat for protein, but if it is LOADED in fat / carbs / sugar, it defeats the purpose. I was VERY suprised with howmuch coverage there is in the news about the "Obesity Epedemic" that major resturants are not required these facts. So, I emailed Texas Roadhouse to ask the nutritional facts in their single cup of chili and this is what I got...

Dear Matt,

Thank you for contacting us regarding our nutritional information.

I can assure you that we are cognizant of the demand from guests such as yourself to provide this information, but there are several factors that make this difficult.

Many of the large foodservice companies that offer specific nutritional information can do so because their food is pre-packaged and/or pre-portioned. Since we make our food from scratch, including the bacon bits, croutons, and dressings, it is next to impossible to provide exact nutritional information because of slight variations that depend upon who prepares the food.

We also make our bread from scratch each day and hand-cut our steaks, so again, we do not have the exact information printed when it arrives like some foodservice operators or what you may find in the grocery store.

In addition, some stores purchase items locally, such as produce and dairy products, so the ingredients can vary from restaurant to restaurant, again making it difficult to provide exact information.

We have attempted to provide some information in the past, but we pulled back after some guests complained we were not detailed enough. In addition, some enterprising folks tested the food and when it fell outside the guidelines threatened legal action. As such, we stopped providing our special gluten-free menu, for example.

In addition, many states, counties and cities across the nation are attempting to pass legislation providing restaurants with guidelines and rules for displaying nutritional information. As a result, our efforts are on hold until we know what information will be required, the ranges that will be allowed and how that information should be distributed.

Again, let me assure you that we are trying to find a solution so that our guests can make informed decisions. Thanks again for contacting us, and have a great week.

As you can see, not very helpful. I understand what she is saying to a point, but it is a list of excuses. ALL it would take is putting disclaimers with their nutritional facts which would be bettr than none at all. Basically somthing that says "Nutrition facts are bassed on average prepared item. All item made fresh vary in size and possible ingedients used. The nutrition facts listed are an average and may not be 100% accurate." I think that would at least be better than nothing. I am sure that every franchise of their resturant has the same recipes so they would not very to the point of being WAY off.

The point I am getting at is this... They NEED to pass into law that resturants need to provide nutritional facts. Plain and simple.  With all the talk of the obesity crisis and eating right, this just makes it ALOT harder to eat out and still watch what you are eating. I think the resturants are just afraid to show you what your eating, and that is scary.

-Monty

It's all excuses. N one is expecting to have the EXACT #'s for each protion. Seriously we all understand that it is estimates of #'s for content. FOr everything. THat is a copout
