Phoenix Restaurants

Worst restaurant meals revealed On the Extreme Eating Awards’ list in the June issue of the public-interest center’s Nutrition Action Healthletter:

• The Cheesecake Factory’s Pasta Carbonara with Chicken, which, in addition to the 2,500 calories, has 85 grams of saturated fat. That’s more saturated fat than a person should consume in four days, Liebman says. The dish has four cups of white-flour pasta, smoked bacon, chicken, and Parmesan cream and butter sauce.

• Five Guys’ Bacon Cheeseburger without toppings, 920 calories and 30 grams of saturated fat. That’s like two McDonald’s Quarter Pounders, Liebman says. A large order of Five Guys’ french fries, 1,460 calories — about triple the calories of a large order of fries at McDonald’s. The bacon cheeseburger and fries tally 2,380 calories.

• P.F. Chang’s Double Pan-Fried Noodles Combo, 1,820 calories, 7,690 milligrams of sodium.

• Bob Evans’ Cinnamon Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes, 1,380 calories and 27 grams of saturated fat and 7 grams of trans fat. A fourth of a cup (about 4 tablespoons) of syrup is another 200 calories.

• California Pizza Kitchen Tostada Pizza with Grilled Steak, 1,680 calories, 32 grams of saturated fat and 3,300 milligrams of sodium.

• California Pizza Kitchen’s Pesto Cream Penne, 1,350 calories, 49 grams of saturated fat and 1,920 milligrams of sodium.

• Chevys’ Crab and Shrimp Quesadilla, 1,790 calories, 63 grams of saturated fat and 3,440 milligrams of sodium.

• Outback Steakhouse New Zealand Rack of Lamb with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables, 1,820 calories, 80 grams of saturated fat and 2,600 milligrams of sodium.

• The Cheesecake Factory Chocolate Tower Truffle Cake, 1,670 calories and 48 grams of saturated fat. “A tower of any food is rarely a good idea,” the center’s newsletter says.
