Dining out guilt-free
People I meet are surprised to hear that, as a dietitian, I adore dining out. “Isn’t restaurant food bad for you?” is the question I often get.
Eating out is very American, and in my case nicely linked to my family. As a kid I spent summers with my grandmother who believed in a three-hour lunch at a good restaurant. And to this day, my mother and I do our catching up at our favorite restaurants. Dietitian or not, in my family a restaurant table is equivalent to a kitchen table.
