“The Cheesecake Factory has earned the title of America’s Worst Restaurant for the 4th year running by Men’s Health Magazine. No establishment better represents the confluence of factors that have saddled America with an ever-worsening obesity crisis. Why?

1. Portion sizes are large enough to feed an NFL offensive line.

2. The use of cheap sources of flavor—oils, butter, cream, salt, and sugar—knows no limit.

3. The percentage of dishes fit for consumption is absurdly small (we count 8 on a menu of more than 200 dishes). Amidst the carnage, one dish sinks below all the rest: the Bistro Shrimp Pasta (2,730 calories, 78g of fat & 919 mg sodium). Tangled up in these noodles are more calories than you’d consume if you ate three sticks of butter for dinner (Ewwwww!!!)

SURVIVAL STRATEGY

1. Don’t eat there at all if you can!

2. If you must, then know what you are eating & ordering in advance by checking calorie counts and content, you can do so here.

3. “Avoid at all costs any combination/ two-meat dishes, which contain close to 2,000 calories & 50 grams of saturated fat. The best of them (or, “least terrible,” anyway) is the Chicken Madeira and Herb Crusted Salmon. But even if you split it, you’re still looking at more calories than a Chili Cheese Dog and large fries from Dairy Queen. Other massive plates to avoid at all costs: The Ranch House Burger (1,941 calories), the idyllic-sounding Grilled Chicken and Avocado Club (1,752 calories), and the sadistic side of Macaroni and Cheese (1,462 calories).” - Source: Men’s Health.

4. Lastly, don’t be fooled by their so-called “Low Carb CheeseCake with Splenda“; topping 600 calories, compared to the regular cheese cake slice there which easily adds on close to 1,000 calories to your meal. Share your dessert!!
