More Atkins dishes
A couple of weeks ago, we published a story about Atkins diet-friendly dishes served in local restaurants. The Atkins diet is a no-carb, high protein diet that's becoming increasingly popular, and we asked readers to nominate other Atkins correct dishes. We got several suggestions, so as promised, we're sharing them.
Angelo's Italian Foods, 1930 S. Oliver, is known for pasta, which is a definite Atkins no-no. But one reader wrote to point out that Angelo's also serves two steaks, a salmon filet and an orange roughy that are perfect for Atkins dieters.
Applebee's Neighborhood Grill, 6730 W. Central, 2035 N. Rock Road and 4760 S. Broadway, has an Atkins-friendly steakhouse salad served with steak, blue cheese vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles over dark greens.
Chili's Grill & Bar, 7887 E. Central and 10520 W. Central, also has a good salad that qualifies -- the grilled chicken Caesar, which also can be topped with spicy grilled shrimp if so requested.
Red Lobster, 555 S. West, and 333 S. Armour, also has several Atkins-correct dishes, and one reader said her favorite meal is double shrimp scampi, salad and steamed veggies.
Timberline, 8310 E. 21st, and 2243 N. Tyler Road, is the restaurant of choice for one local Atkins dieting couple, who point out that the menu is full of high-protein choices. They'll often order the burger or chicken sandwich without the bun, they said, and the server is always happy to provide several different toppings for the meat.
