Low Carb Diva

May 18, 2009

Careful when you ask your server for extra butter with your next meal, you may not get what you bargained for. It seems that a lot of restaurants are using margarine instead of real butter. This is because margarine is cheaper than butter and truth be told most people can’t tell the difference. Be warned Red Lobster is no longer serving real butter!

I used to buy country crock and used that as my sole source of butter and fat for many years. I had no idea that margarine is made from plastics and are loaded with trans-fat.

Don’t be afraid of butter. It is a perfect food and goes great on top of a nice fatty ribeye.

If you are looking for a butter friendly restaurant try Cracker Barrel they are proud of the fact that they serve real butter and also boast a low carb menu (although you may have to tweak it a bit as they serve toast).

Let me know about any more butter friendly restaurants.
