The Cheesecake Factory's Bistro Shrimp Pasta is among the dishes named on this year's "food porn" report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer-focused non-profit group that promotes healthy eating. Coming in at an astonishing 3,120 calories (a day and a half more than your recommended intake), the pasta dish is considered one of the most unhealthy dishes in U.S. chain restaurants.
"You'd think that the size of their profits depended on their increasing the size of your pants," CSPI Executive Director Michael Jacobson said of the industry's Xtreme Eating winners. The Cheesecake Factory's Bistro Shrimp Pasta is made with butter and cream sauce and topped with battered, fried shrimp. It contains a massive 89 grams of saturated fat and 1,090 milligrams of sodium. "It's like eating three orders of Olive Garden's Lasagna Classico plus an order of tiramisu for dinner," CSPI said. The cheesecake factory is known for its huge portions and wide array of - wait for it - cheesecakes. Some weigh in at around 1,000 calories PER SLICE. The chain restaurant makes regular showing on the Xtreme Eating list, though since 2011 has promoted its "SkinnyLicious" menu of entrees since 2011, including salmon rolls and pear and endive salad.
Other dishes on this year's list include Johnny Rockets' Bacon Cheddar Home Hamburger (1,770 calories), the Cheesecake Factory's Crispy Chicken Costoletta (2,610 calories) and Smoothie King's Peanut Power Plus grape Smoothie (1,460 calories). And we thought smoothies were healthy.
