Is that real or the inspiration for a M.C. Escher print or a Mandelbrot series??

I like Friendly’s food, but (for whatever reason), the restaurant service is universally slow.

I think it's because their wait staff has to make their own desserts. This is a running joke in my family as we have visited Friendly's in several states and ALWAYS got very slow service.

Melas, it’s downright idiotic to make the case that going over your daily sodium intake one day is detrimental to your health. It’s none of your G D business what the sodium content is.

If I want to eat it, it’s the business of the serving entity and me.

Thanks to Krusteaz, I make a pretty darn good waffle. I am also a fairly decent cook.

The thing about eating out is you don’t really know what you are getting. I like ordering with the nutrition information available, such as on Applebees WW items.

Cheesecake Factory certainly headed the list. Must be a ton of butter in those pasta dishes.

I didn’t see any suggestions to the effect that someone else had to watch what I eat. What I did get, was information that enables ME to make better choices about what I eat, and for that I’m grateful. How you can fault the magazine for providing me that information is beyond me.

They all look pretty nasty except for the ribs and the bacon strips

I’d probably add salt before eating it. I’m 55 and still handle a shaker pretty well. When I need to lose a few I usually do Atkins. I ran a five K in May and got beat by a woman in her ‘50s but I also finnished faster than some high-schoolers.

It’s practically impossible for an omlette to have 130g of carbs so I went to find the menu.

Colorado Omlette:
A meat lover’s delight. Bacon, pork
sausage, shredded beef, ham,
onions, green peppers and Cheddar
cheese. Served with salsa.

Which means the 130g of carbs is certainly a bogus number. So is the author of the article lying or propaganda by omission? The 130g may be correct if you include the pancakes that come with the meal.

>>Calories make you fat. Doesn’t matter where get them.<<

Sure, right.
Tell that to any diabetic.

Part of the reason why Americans are fat is because we were fed that bs for 30 years.

High carb, low fat is absolutely disastrous. You just keep on believing the “a calorie is a calorie” garbage.

They have been called Denver ommelettes forever. Cheddar cheese is all salt. The cheddaring process is horrifying to watch, but it is umm, umm, good.

I watched it being made in cheddar gorge. I also saw black pudding (blood sausage) being made. I can’t eat it now.

Absolutely. If you want to choke down deep fried fat ala mode, it’s none of my business. Go ahead. However, there is nothing at all wrong with telling those who might not know, what they’re eating.

Umm, if you’re goin’ to a restaurant for “nutrition” you might want to reconsider. This stuff is entertainment.

Not that I was actually inclined to eat any of it. Most of ‘em were too big or just not my type of meal.

I love the phrase "Colorado is the leanest state in America", as if there are no fatties there, just like Texas is the fattest state, and all I see are healthy, skinny folks here, with the occasional obese Mexican or trailer park-dweller.

Lumping people together in groups according to geography is lazy and, well, gay.

The magazine is making it their business to herald the worst foods. What do the worst foods represent over all? Nothing!

If a person eats one of these worst foods once a week, there’s no problem with it whatsoever.

When I go out to eat, I break meals down into halves or even thirds. The idea the magazine, you, or anyone else knows the true value of these foods is patently absurd.

We live in this fish bowl with Democrats sticking their noses in our business constantly, and you can’t see any reason to be angry with a magazine for trying to game people by pretending to be their fried.

I can.

LOL! If you like Krusteaz, you should see what self rising flour can do for pancakes or biscuits.

The Heart Attack Grill's Quadruple Bypass Burger didn't qualify?

Very surprising.
