The Healthiest Chains in the U.S.
The magazine Health has named its healthiest top ten sit-down chain restaurants, top five fast food joints, and the best all-around indie restaurants in the nation. At No. 1 in sit-down chains? Uno Chicago Grill. Say wha? Yeah, it has a load of good-for-you options if you forgo the deep dish. Top fast foodery? Noodles & Company. Best independent? Blue Hill in New York City, run by Dan Barber.

I was reading over this article of "healthy chains" and was surprised to find Ruby Tuesday included. The options the magazine "loves", like the veggie burger and turkey burger, have 52 or 45 grams of fat, with the veggie burger nearing a thousand calories. This information is off the Ruby Tuesday website, and does not include any side items. A Big Mac and a small order of fries has less calories and less fat than both of these "healthy options", with a caloric content of 790 and 42 total fat grams.

These days it's possible to walk into any chain restaurant and find something healthy. Even McDonald's offers salads with low-fat dressing. I don't think it depends that much on where you eat as it does what you eat. And as brittj pointed out above; what is understood as "healthy" may not always be what you expect.
