<br>Rockin' News from the Restaurant World
<br>
<br>SALT SLASHING: The Boston Market people recently announced that they've reduced the sodium in their Rotisserie Chicken by 20 percent and cut the salt in their Poultry Gravy in half! WOW. (HG tip: Go with the white meat/no skin option for the chicken.)
<br>
<br>FREE FOOD FOR VETS! Atten-TION! Applebee's is offering free meals on Veteran's Day, November 11th, to vets and active duty military. The honorees can choose from a 7-oz. House Sirloin, Three-Cheese Chicken Penne, Fiesta Lime Chicken, and more, on the house. Also getting into the Veteran's Day spirit? Dunkin' Donuts. The chain's donating a pound of coffee to the USO for every two pounds purchased online or at a DD location by 11/14/10.
<br>
<br>ALLERGY DISCLOSURE: T.G.I. Friday's is now offering an allergen supplement menu at participating locations to help customers with a wide array of food allergies. That's great, Friday's, truly... but could you please provide nutritional stats for menu items on your website? You know, in case some of us have sensitivities to extremely fatty, high-calorie meals...
<br>
<br>MORE SALT SLASHING! Over at Taco Bell, there has been some very sneaky test-marketing going on. The chain's been serving food with 23 percent less sodium at 150 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, area... and the customers didn't even know! There have reportedly been no complaints about the lower-salt items. Those tricky taco people!

<br>Quick Cook Microwave Cooking Covers - Having to wipe splattered food off your microwave is a pain.

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Warning! The McRib at McDonald's is at large once again. The suspect has 500 calories and 26g fat, is smothered in sauce, and is considered extremely fattening. Take the proper precautions and make yourself this amazing HG swap... ***Trader Joe's is taking on new territory! The first store in Maine just opened in Portland, the brand-new West Des Moines location became Iowa's first TJ's, and a few stores are set to open soon in Nebraska and Minnesota. YES! ***FREEBIE ALERT! We love Kashi, we love free stuff, and we love fitness, so this is GREAT news. Get a free 20-minute yoga/Pilates workout DVD when you buy a box of Kashi GOLEAN cold cereal at Target locations this month. NICE! ***Do you feel less guilty when you plunk down your credit card to pay for junky food purchases? You're not alone. A new study shows that people are less likely to buy unhealthy food if they pay with cash. Maybe those green dollar bills remind us of the lettuce we should be eating... That's all we've got. HG out!
