MSNBC and “Today” have reported the Top 20 “Saltiest Foods in America.” I’m always surprised at some of the results of these “food reports” and the amount of “bad stuff” that’s in these foods! I guess it just goes to show that eating from home is probably always better for not just your wallet, but your health as well!
The number 1 saltiest dish in America is….
Romano’s Macaroni Grill Chicken Portobello
7,300 mg sodium, 1,020 calories, 66 g fat
With three items on our top 20 list, plus a slew of dishonorable mentions, Macaroni Grill earns its title as America’s saltiest chain restaurant. But what makes this the saltiest dish in America? One word: demi-glace, a fancy French name for the viscous salt slick that blankets this disastrous dish. You would have to eat 32 cups of potassium-rich broccoli to compensate for this sodium avalanche.
