Restaurant Tell Alls

Last year, New York City passed legislation that required all city chain restaurants to post calorie data on their menus. I think this is an excellent idea! As someone who (mostly) tries to keep track of the calories I consume, it is so helpful to be able to easily find nutrition information. Kudos to restaurants who aren't scared to actually share the good or bad news about the food they are serving!

Here are a few of the helpful nutrition Web sites for restaurants -- do you know of any others?

  • Red Robin -- Customize your burger by adding cheese, taking off the bun, enjoying fries.
  • Starbucks -- Test your latte knowledge or find out how many grams of fat are in your apple fritter.
  • Panera Bread -- Get the skinny on your "you pick two" combo.
  • Baja Fresh -- A nutritional table for entrees and their most popular side orders.
  • Chipotle -- This isn't an official Chipotle site, but it's an excellent calculator for finding out the bad news about your burrito.
DietFacts.com and CalorieCount.com are also two great sites, chock full of tons o' restaurants.

I love, love, love Panera. Mike and I discovered it in Washington, and often made it our date place. I haven't seen one here in Memphis. I need to find one.
