I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Chilli's on several occasions. I still wouldn't choose to go there myself, but it's a far less distasteful option than, say, Olive Garden.

Hey now... don't knock the soup and salad lunch. It's about the only thing I get, but it's good at a good price. Nom, nom, nom...

If only they made their Zuppa Toscano with bacon...

Nom, nom.

Chili's burgers are pretty nom-worthy. Even without bacon.

NOOOOO!!!

Some scary stuff. But not surprising. I've been counting calories for the last 3+ weeks (and actually losing weight), and when I'm craving fast food, I've been going to the Chowbaby Fast Food Calories page.

Lots of bacon options within a reasonable number...

Even a Turkey/Bacon Club at Schlotzky's is less than 600 calories.

Their ground peppercorn burger used to be good, but it seems to have lost its zing since it was introduced.

One thing I always like about chili's burgers is the buns: muy delicioso!

In terms of nutritional information, this entire thread is not pretty!

Oh gods!!! :eek:

Now, the recipe I've yet to try only calls for coating the bacon in flour and seasonings, then baking it, since the grease will "fry" the batter itself. It seems a bit healthier, even though it's pretty far from healthy to begin with.

Feh. Ever seen the nutritional info on the twice-grilled burrito at El Pollo Loco? It looks reasonably healthy till you see the numbers. (Hint: it's more than the bacon burger)
