The first question I think of is this:

What would be the nutritional information if you got rid of all the crap that isn't the actual sandwich?

Get rid of the 38 sauces that are on the thing, I'm sure, the disgustingly overfried fronions or whatever the brown junk is between the cheese and the tomatoes, etc.

I bet it would be much more reasonable. And you're still eating a gigantic roll, cheese, and meat, plus the lettuce and tomato.

We're addicted to sauces for some reason. They don't really enhance the taste of the food that much. Take bagels for example - most places serve a bagel with about a half a tub of cream cheese on it. Why? After you coated the top of the bagel 3 times with cream cheese, isn't there a point of diminishing returns on the deliciousness of the cream cheese? It's like we're just too lazy to scrape it off. So instead we eat 1000 more calories of cream cheese.

If you like the food you eat, then you don't need sauces. If you don't like the food you eat, then don't eat it and never go out to restaurants because they're killing you unnecessarily. There's an adversarial relationship between the restaurant and the customer. They need to make the maximum amount of money per customer, which means coming up with dishes that cost them the least to make for which they can charge you the most. So it's like walking onto a used car lot. The atmosphere seems pleasant, but if you don't feel like you're getting the hard sell then you're a rube.

That's the first problem. The second is that they don't care about your health. They're not your doctor or your family. They just want to make sure that you so thoroughly enjoyed the food that you'll recommend the restaurant to others and come back yourself. That probably means that the food it absolutely terrible for you.

You know how when you make food at home and the you go and eat the same thing in the restaurant and it tastes different, and by different I mean better? That's not brilliant cooking. That's hundreds and thousands of calories worth of crap that you would never even think of putting in your own version of the same dish. That's why it tastes so good.

Good cooking is the difference between a tough steak and a tender steak. It's meat that's perfectly done - perfectly medium well or medium. If the food it more flavorful, it's because it's bad for you. That's the "flavor".

There are some things that you should avoid. Anything that you can't identify the ingredients in, including 99% of desserts, you should never order in a restaurant because they're going to make bad choices in the interest of saving money or making the food taste better. And this is usually an either or proposition. If you're eating at a cheap place then the food is bad for you to make it cheap. If you're eating at an expensive restaurant, the food is bad for you to make it taste good.

In every case, you should have invited your friends over, picked up a nice bottle of wine, and made dinner at home.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
