Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I have a restaurant card...I've never used it. Everything on the kids' menus where we go out to eat is stuff like pizza, chicken strips, cheese sticks...all fried stuff or very high in carbs. I usually get some grilled chicken or steak off the adult menu and share with one of my kids or I take whatever I don't eat home for another meal or two (usually two). In most of the places I've been to sharing or ordering off the kids menu (when they have stuff that I can have) hasn't been any kind of problem but have heard some horror stories....... T.
