My wife and I recently ate dinner at the local Outback Steakhouse restaurant. We both ordered ribeye steak with steamed vegetables. The waitress was given instructions that the steak and vegetable were to have no additives, tenderizers, seasonings, etc. BAD NEWS. The food was not prepared as requested. We are confident the steak, vegetables or both had added sugar. She is in complete remission from Crohn’s disease on the low-carb diet and is extremely sensitive to hidden sugars. We know some hidden carbs were added to the meal because this is the same food we routinely eat at home.

I am sure that many restaurants cheat by sweetening everything for the general public. Rather than list the restaurants that cheat, perhaps it would be more helpful to list those restaurant chains that attempt to cook food as instructed. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
