This dish at Cheesecake Factory has 2,500 calories

Among the winners (or should that be losers?) is the pasta carbonara at Cheesecake Factory; when served with chicken this dish comes in at 2,500 calories and 85 grams of saturated fat. Also on the list is the New Zealand rack of lamb at Outback Steakhouse. The lamb alone (no sides) is 1,300 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat, plus 1,340 milligrams of sodium (recommended daily allowance of sodium is from 2,400 milligrams for a healthy adult, although some health experts think it should be far lower).

Restaurants Use Menu Psychology to Entice Diners

The price of Boodie’s chicken livers, for example, is $9, written simply as 9. This is a friendly and manageable number at a time when numbers really need to be friendly and manageable. Besides, it has no dollar sign.

There are a lot of fist fights at Chuck E. Cheese

She hit him once in the face and once in the back of the head, sending the man to the hospital. This was at a party for his 14-year-old son, said the police report, which does not explain what may have caused the altercation. The Obscure Store, a Web site reporting the story, noted, " Chuck E. Cheese brawls are so common they're hardly 'news,' " before adding, "But if you're keeping track of these fights, here's another one for your file." A Wall Street Journal story last December reported that the outlet in Brookfield, Wis., had prompted more police calls in the previous year than any other restaurant in town.

GiveReal.com - send a bar tab to your friend

The site allows friends to send each other what amounts to a drink tab up to $99 from any restaurant or bar, using credits that can be tied to their credit cards... gift giving process for Give Real is a bit complicated, perhaps to a fault. If I want to give my friend a $20 bar tab for his birthday, I first enter my credit card information into Give Real’s payment system, which immediately charges my account. My friend receives a notification alerting him that I’ve given him the gift, but in order to collect it he has to tie his own credit card to Give Real’s system.

Restaurant makes waiters share more of their tips to offset costs

Longhorn's (some chain, I guess) has change the rules about tipping. Wait staff must now give more of their total meal bills to hosts and bartenders: "Under the program, waiters must give up a greater percentage of their total sales each shift to hosts and bartenders — 2.25 percent, up from 1 percent. So a server who sells $1,000 worth of food and drinks on a Friday night must "tip out" $22.50 to the hosts and bartenders."
