Published to coincide with this story is <i>Restaurant Confidential</i>, in which Dr. Michael F. Jacobson and his CSPI team do for sit-down meals what their Fast-Food Guide--with 247,000 copies in print--does for fast food.Belgian Waffle or Rib-Eye Steak? Bloomin' Onion or Mrs. Fields's Double-Fudge Brownie? Americans are now eating almost one-third of their meals outside the home, spending $222 billion annually doing so-and watching their waistlines balloon. What's in this food? To answer, CSPI performs across-the-board restaurant profiles that give straight-shooting scientific data on the fat, sodium, and calorie content of the most popular dishes. The information is organized by type of cuisine--Chinese, Mexican, steak house, and more--and covers all the major chains, such as The Olive Garden, Applebee's, and Outback. The book provides specific eating strategies for every kind of restaurant, as well as shocking facts: Did you know that a typical order of stuffed potato skins packs a whopping 1,260 calories and 48 grams--two days' worth--of saturated fat? A 10-point plan for ordering wisely, plus dozens of tips throughout, takes the information one step further by showing how to eat happily and healthfully. It's the nutrition book that reads like a thriller. Take the steak and brownies; a whole fried onion with dipping sauce has a blooming 163 grams of fat, and the seemingly innocent Belgian waffle with whipped topping and fruit has even more fat and calories than two sirloin steaks. 60338 6 5 2002 Restaurant Confidential total:14|5:1|4:2|3:8|2:3| 14 43 26 4 4 0 false false Thu May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 10:56:56 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 10:59:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jul 10 07:25:14 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 07:26:15 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jul 06 19:22:48 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 19:22:48 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Dec 08 14:48:25 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 08 20:11:30 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Mon Sep 07 06:40:52 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 06:40:52 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jun 18 14:05:58 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 14:05:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 08 12:44:34 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 12:44:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 29 04:25:14 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 04:25:14 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Mar 16 10:45:29 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 15:40:06 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 17 09:00:48 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 09:00:48 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 04 18:17:34 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 18:17:34 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 16 21:45:35 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 16 21:45:38 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 28 09:08:22 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 09:08:26 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jul 04 10:44:06 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 10:44:11 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Apr 20 15:25:57 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 15:26:22 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Apr 05 21:51:40 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 21:51:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 09 17:28:48 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 11 17:48:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 13 20:45:31 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 20:45:36 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jan 13 11:26:30 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 11:26:36 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Sat Jan 05 09:33:42 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 17 07:28:45 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=62084
