...this isn't the best combo of foods, and the portions are a bit large for lunch. alot of carbs and starch that he's not going to work off, plus the bbq is full of sodium and sugar, there are no greens or fruits, and the meat is fatty. Lastly, if you gotta do the bread, do the multi grain, 'cause the bread is actually worse than the meat.
I normally would never care about nor judge what someone else eats except that his body man made it public like it was something to be proud of (read "makes Mitt more American as he eats like a man" which makes it fair game.

KID'S MENU: F
Cheesecake Factory joins a host of other restaurants in still refusing to provide nutritional information online. Fortunately, California state law requires chain restaurants to disclose their nutrition facts - or, at least, some of them. And when the law passed and the Factory finally revealed the secret behind their monstrous dishes, jaws dropped. No other restaurant in America matches Cheesecake Factory's atrocious lineup of menu items. We can safely say that the Cheesecake Factory is the Worst Restaurant in America.
SURVIVAL STRATEGY
Avoid Factory Combinations like the plague. Here's a dangerous fact: Not one of the gourmet-sounding, two-meat dishes on this part of the menu has less than 2,000 calories or 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). Surprisingly, the Factory Burger is actually the best sit-down restaurant burger in America. Stick with that... and nothing else.
I have never dined at Cheesecake Factory and since it's good enough for Mitt .... I never will.
Mitt -I hope tonight you feel as queasy from your meal as the American people are about your candidacy.

Then hubby and I went there one evening, and swore never to come back... part of it. the prices. They abandoned their mom and pop ideas a while ago.

(11,364 posts)... "body man" is incompetent. That's not a balanced meal, and it looks more like something to eat before a nice, long nap.
He must be trying to impress us with how "middle class" his selections were.
