Interesting article. My family and I stayed at a Holiday Inn for a few days last weekend and I was very pleased to find that they had a low carb menu. More and more restaurants in my area are doing the same.
Really, what a lot of them are doing is simply taking the low carb items that were already on their menus (unbreaded chicken breast, steak, pork chops, hamburgers) and combining them with a salad and low carb veggies. Some are charging more for that option, a few are charging the same or less.
I've always had an easy time eating out on low carb, it's just that now I can order a whole meal from the menu without having to order ala carte or making substitutions for what they offered (can I have a larger salad instead of that rice?).
What I really appreciate is that more restaurants are including the carb counts with their nutritional information when it's listed instead of just giving you the fat and fiber content.
