This is an interesting developement. I don't remember restaurants ever really catching on the whole low-fat movement, not in Montreal anyway. Which is a good thing in retrospective. I attribute this difference to the fact that's it's rather difficult to have taste while taking out the fat, whereas it's quite possible to have scrumptious low-carb meals. I think that people who ate out didn't really want to eat low-fat, as it was considered to be a deprivation. Not so for low-carb.
