Nine Yummy Treats, Presented by the Center for Science in the Public Interest


ABC News ran this story by the Food Police, who are trying to control what we eat and drink.

"These meals are the calorie champions of unhealthy restaurant food, with all meals (and one dessert) weighing in at well over 1,000 calories and shocking amounts of sodium, saturated fat, and sugar," says Bonnie Liebman, co-author of the center's report.

Here are the winners of the 2010 Xtreme Eating Awards, followed by the number of calories per serving:

Five Guys (burgers, fries, hot dogs)[920 calories for a bacon cheeseburger]
Cheesecake Factory's Chocolate Tower Trouble Cake [1670]
California Pizza Kitchen - Tostada Pizza [1440]
Cheesecake Factory - Pasta Carbonara with Chicken [2500]
P.F. Chang's Double Pan-Fried Noodles Combo [1820]
Outback Steakhouse - New Zealand Rack of Lamb with sides [1820]
Chevy's Crab & Shrimp Quesadilla [1790]
California Pizza Kitchen’s Pesto Cream Penne [1350]
