You can get this info yourself from many corporate websites, but we like that it's all in one place. We especially like that there's an iPhone version of the site to make it easy to look up info when you're actually at a restaurant. Most iPhone formatted sites have worked just fine on my past 3 Nokia phones, so give it a try even if you don't have an iPhone. (You can test drive the iPhone version below.)
So far there's info on these 20 restaurants, but Riley says he's trying to add one per day.
@Xkeeper: Go figure, I hate whenever anyone on Lifehacker posts about a site using the "r without the e" spelling for their name, but now that Consumerist's run by Our New Benevolent Overlords, they post a site that drops the E and I'm fine with it.
Stupid sexy Consumers Union.
]]>@ohnoes: This, this, EIGHT THOUSAND TIMES THIS.
When I went to Vegas a couple of months ago, I was determined to eat at In-N-Out. Walked about halfway to the closest one before deciding I'd better get a cab rather than disprove the notion that cars make people go squish, and the cabbie said that every time he picks up someone from California (I'm, erm, not) the first place they always want to go is In-N-Out.
I could see why, but I've had better. At Five Guys. In-N-Out's really good McDonald's-style food (but made with much better ingredients and such, I just mean McDonald's in reference to toppings and the cut of the fries) but Five Guys mops the floor with In-N-Out. Same concept (small menu, done as well as possible) but different execution. You're not getting a bacon cheeseburger with sauteed onions, mushrooms, and A-1 sauce at In-N-Out (although said burger comes with a side of coronary disease) and their fries are much better (steak fries, skin on, and any cubic nanometer of free space in the bag gets displaced with MORE FRIES). In-N-Out's really good, but only #3 as far as burger places go.
Fatburger's #2 (although sadly, I didn't get to go at two in the morning).
]]>@tedyc03:
Yeah, for a while I thought it was talking about fatburger giving out the information. This was just a dumb idea on this person's part (do the research).
Any bets on how long until they go to a new name?
]]>@mgermano: Five guys is fantastic, and I don't even eat hamburgers. Fries & a grilled cheese & several handfuls of peanuts....
]]>@rpm773: But White Castle fries only come in one size.
]]>But it is by no means "almost worth moving back to California for."
]]>@HIV 2 Elway Resurrected: Ugh, fatburger is awful. We have a few around seattle... terrible. I've been there a few times, always thinking maybe I'll give it another chance...never fails to disappoint
]]>Dh! :)
]]>I have to say my first In-N-Out burger was a bit underwhelming. And so was the second. I don't understand the hype. They're good but not that much better than the rest of the fast food chains. Living in NYC, I have come to really appreciate restaurants having to put all the calories on the menus. I thought it was a bit heavy handed by government but it's extremely useful. When I'm in the mood for that Mocha and Muffin from Starbuck's, seeing that the two together are 1200 calories, helps my decision to get the skinny latte and almonds a little easier to make. But it still sucks!!!!
]]>@metsarethe...: In-N-Out is good but it is no Fat Burger.
]]>Don't you care how many nutrions are in your food?
]]>Yeah, fatburgr.com will have to change it's name soon.
]]>Man, dropping the "e" before an "r" is so 2008.
]]>@mgermano: I agree! Five guys is perfection. But I only think that because its mostly burger grease.
Although... I'm not a fan of peanuts and it's hard to miss that smell when you're there.
]]>@rpm773: That's exactly who I was looking for on this list.. Need some updates now!
]]>@FrugalFreak: That's so shady. I stopped eating at Red Robin the third time I ordered the guacamole burger and substituted the beef for a veg burger and they didn't make the change. This was always IN the restaurant with specific instructions to the server and small talk about my lifestyle. Sending the meat back to be (likely) thrown out defeats the purpose of being a vegetarian.
]]>@mgermano: pulled pork...
]]>@Canino: Qdoba has a burrito builder that very similar, it is depressing how many calories are in my pulled port BBQ.
Also, I have never had in-and-out, but Five Guys has an awesome burger, best in my opinion.
]]>Though I certainly give Fatburgr props, and they do have a few that the Restaurants app doesn't, such as Jimmy Johns (oh how I miss the Pepe), Krispy Kreme, Popeyes, and Whataburger.
]]>"We at Fatburgr are reasonable people. If we can't find nutrition information regarding a particular restaurant, we try to contact said restaurant. A restaurant makes it to our wall of shame if they don't reply, or if they send us a soulless copy-and-paste PR statement.
The following restaurants do not publish nutrition information regarding their menu items.*
*They also kick puppies for distance."
Name issues notwithstanding, can you seriously say that ("They also kick puppies for distance") and not expect a suit?
]]>Just want to say the nutrition calculator on the Taco Bell site is awesome. You can choose a selection to make a meal right down to the number of sauce packets and get all the info for your meal.
That might not end well. xD
]]>I'll buy some quality meat at the grocery store and cook my own burger, thanks. Better than eating a chemistry set.
]]>Even places like Subway which advertise food on the health side have some waistbusters.
It's great that this site adds the weight watcher points. That makes for a simple cross reference which is credible.
]]>can't look... it's too depressing
]]>
