R/R Macaroni Grill
I work at a place where we get free lunch catered basically every day. Today was Macaroni Grill. Really tasty food but all of it is so salty. Even the bread had salt on the top of it. Why would bread need salt? I can feel my little baby heart racing. Now I'll be sucking down water all afternoon, but hey it was free.

That's true. I was friends with the head chef so most of my pasta dishes weren't on the menu. Bowtie pasta with grilled chicken and peppers in a lemon herb sauce. It's heaven. The pizza kicks ass too.cardinalkarp wrote:The food is ok but man is it ever bad for you.

Yeah. Lotta sodium. Someone posted it a while back, but I think one of their dishes had the highest sodium content of all those surveyed from various sit-down chains.
Have to give them props for the bread and olive oil though. That stuff rules.

I have never been able to find anything I liked when I ate there. Except the alcohol I guess.

That surprises me considering that they have a decent amount of seafood and fish options.docellis wrote:I have never been able to find anything I liked when I ate there. Except the alcohol I guess.

Penne Rustica, oh so good. But here it is 4 hours after I ate lunch and I swear my heart is still racing. I would say never again, but I am weak and know it.

Still racing from all the salt? I'm not sure if I've ever noticed that if I eat a food really high in sodium.
