Health mag rates healthiest restaurants
Get ready to laugh: among Health magazine’s top healthiest restaurants are - drum roll, please - Denny’s, Bob Evans, and Romano’s Macaroni Grill.
Hmm - the kings of maple syrup-drenched sausage and carb-heavy pasta dishes, respectively, are also the healthiest?
Granted, I don’t go out to eat very often. But - are these places actually healthy? I find it hard to believe.
The magazine’s other choices are equally as confusing: Olive Garden? Uno Chicago Grill? Last time I checked, phrases like “extra cheese” and “more breadsticks” were the norm at these haunts.
It makes slightly more sense when you read their explanation as to how the spots were judged: Health’s editors looked at availability of nutritional information, number of trans-fat free and low-sodium dishes, and portion control, among others. But as we know, just because restaurants are forthcoming with their nutritional info, doesn’t mean the food is automatically good for us.
Then again, does anyone really go out to these places in search of healthy fare?
The mag also features their healthiest independent restaurants, and to round it out, the least healthy.
