Go back to your garden....

really? I haven't seen that (on menus in nyc).

The only menus that have lists of calories on them are for chain restaurants.
While that's fine and dandy, my issue with this is that if you live in nyc(or probably most urban areas) -there are literally thousands of restaurants-no need to chain food it.
So I'd love to see some regulation for restaurants (all) have to list something, like ingredients, aprox calories, something...anything...

No offense to those that prefer chains...just making a point that these laws are chain specific.

wow pa needs to catch up with you guys! that would be great!

good job on the healthier choice.

The calorie and fat gram list at the Applebees we went to was in a little booklet on the table with the menu and the dessert page. It was totally separate of the menu itself.

I'd agree with that on ingredients. But the costs of doing calorie analysis for an entire restaurant menu can be high - it's hard to imagine regulations forcing this sort of analysis for non-chain restaurants, where the owners don't have multiple restaurants with which to spread out the analysis costs. Doing laboratory analysis once for a 50 item menu costs about $700-1200 PER ITEM...about 50,000 dollars total! That's a drop in the bucket for somewhere like Applebees, where the cost is spread across all the restaurants. But your local mom and pop? That's enough to easily put them out of business.
