People on a diet tend not to go to fast food joints.

This is why stuff like salads at McDonald's traditionally don't sell.

This has been known for well over a decade...

I like this trend. Fattening foods are obviously easy to spot, but it's not so easy to determine at a glance which dishes have a ton of salt in them.

/watching my sodium intake

eddyatwork		2008-05-02 02:17:11 PM

I'd eat them, then I'd wash myself with a rag on a stick.

I'll pass on the chili and cheeses, but if you make them garlic cheese fries I will be in heaven.

Not only do they have 2900 calories, they have 182g of fat, which is 280% of the recommended daily value. And one serving is nearly two pounds. Yikes.

Wait --

"It cost him about $2,500, but he learned everything about each dish, from calories to sodium content, which he then posted on the Spicy Pickle website."

"It was expensive to do, especially for a small business like us," says Geman, whose Denver-based company of six stores and 30 franchises pulled in about $20 million last year. "But I understand that people want to know what they're eating."

Is $2,500 really that expensive for a company that made $20 million last year?

Probably not, but it just says that they pulled in $20 million, maybe their net profit was really low. Just saying.

I'd eat the 2900 calorie cheese fries with a 2000 calorie bacon cheeseburger and wash it down with a 32 ounce Coke.

You could always go for a low-carb poutine: cheese curds floating in broth.

Hahaha! I keep trying to come up with a low-carb version of French Onion soup - broth and cheese is all I've come up with!

Chili fries give me a bloomin' onion in my pants.

Elvis fries from Gunther Toody's are the ultimate fries. They're smothered in sausage gravy and cheddar cheese. Mmmmmmm. And I could care less how many calories they have. When I'm in the mood for Elvis fries, calories are the least of my worries.

Yeah, I've only been there a couple of times, but it seems like their appetizers are really not meant for just one or two people.
