I was about to get a new appetizer at a restaurant today. I was going to have it instead of the main course and I thought, it’s just pieces of fried chicken. How bad can they be?
Thank every saint in the prayer book, I checked before ordering. The appetizer contained 141 grams of carbs. My eyes almost popped out of my head. And then I realized that people usually have a main course and probably even a dessert plus some sugary drink to go with the sugar chicken.
Wow!
This is one reason (of several) we don’t really do restaurants. For the diabetic among us, they are minefields. At least at Waffle house, you can order eggs and bacon and know you won’t get assassinated by some undisclosed sugar-based glaze or “dressing”. Fake butter still not great, but won’t kill you right away.

True I’m now more comfortable at a place like Denny’s, where at least I know exactly what I can have without running into issues, than at a supposedly respectable restaurant that does this kind of thing.
