Disease Proof

It happened quietly, but back in May DiseaseProof’s series Eating to Live on the Outside turned 2. It's been fun and we’ve certainly covered a lot of restaurants! So, I figured a recap was in order. This Fourth of July check out some of our not-so favorite restaurants:

• Girasole
• Jackson's Sports Grill
• Firkin Pub
• The Flying Biscuit Café
• Buffalo's Southwest Café
• Dagwood's Sandwich Shoppes
• The Old Bay
• Sage Grill
• Old Man Rafferty's
• Hobee's California Restaurants
• Lonni's Sandwiches
• Carino's Italian Grill
• Michael Jordan's Steakhouse
• Harvest Moon Brewery

• Ground Round
• The Office
• Bennigan's

While I was compiling this list, it struck me. The most well known restaurants are some of the worst for you. I guess it says something about Americans—we love crap food! Check back next week for a new Eating to Live on the Outside. Happy Fourth of July!

A lot of people would disaagree about Ruby Tuesday's. Their salad bar is a port in the storm when traveling. There are lots of good thing to make a meal out of. Of course that;s about what there is to eat there- except maybe a baked potato with salsa. There was a discussion about their salad bar in the member's center recently.

I second Ruby Tuesday's. A great salad bar with a baked potato or brown rice pilaf (hold the cheese) is one of the best places to go out to eat in my neck of the woods (Atlanta). Few other restaurants come close.
