I reported last October about this wonderful desert at Ruby Tuesday. It
clocks in at a whopping 632 calories for the cup-cake sized dish.

Since then, the few times I went and asked for it, they were out. And as
of 2-3 weeks ago, it's off the menu.

Oh well! :-)

i really like the cheesecake there - never tried the other desserts

Damn! LC or not that's packs a serious punch. Might as well eat the real
thing for that hit or consider that dessert a meal.

I hadn't been to Ruby Tuesday for a while but found myself at one
ca two weeks ago. Much to my dismay, they no longer have the menu
with all the nice LC features (not speaking of dessert here). I
asked the waiter, and he said they could make things LC, but
that's not the same. They still have the cauliflower puree listed
on the menu, and you can substitute it (or any other side) for
fries etc., but I am still bummed out. They don't have the most
wonderful food, but it was really nice to have all the options
they presented--and all that nutritional info.

Oh , I agree! Just a little salad from the salad-bar, then LAVA! :-)
Actually, I didn't realize how high the calorie-count was until I was
researching my notes.

FAQ: A Beginner's Guide to LowCarb Living

GENERAL QUESTIONS
1a. What is the purpose of alt.support.diet.low-carb?

To provide practical advice, emotional support, and encouragement to
those who wish to improve their health, appearance, and/or mood levels
through a low carbohydrate program. The name of the group,
alt.support.diet.low-carb (here after referred to as a.s.d.l-c) is
somewhat unfortunate because the word "diet" is often interpreted as "a
temporary regimen that's somehow expected to lead to permanent weight
loss," rather than its original meaning of "how one eats."

The membership of a.s.d.l-c encourages open discussions, we encourage
people to participate but request that a tone of civility be maintained
at all times. Disagreements are fine, but attacks, flame wars, or
arguments that are between individuals are better saved for the more
appropriate venue of email.

The internet has a subset of people that attempt to boost their self
esteem by belittling people around them.
Some people call it "flaming" but in reality it's just idiots showing
their asses in public.

I think that was part of the problem. For example, they have some New
Orleans Salmon dish, if I remember correctly, that clocked in around 750
Calories. The LC version was still around 650 or more. I think that scared
customers, for example, because when I saw that I ordered some LC chicken
dish that down around 475. Later, they still had both dishes, but moved all
the nutritional info to a separate book. And now that you mention it, I
didn't see either the double listings or the info-book on the table last
time I went.

On another tangent, I asked at a Red Lobster if I could bring in my own box
of Dreamfields and they said no. So I ordered the Garlic Alfredo w/Shrimp
as a side (just the sauce) and a side of veggies, and mixed them together.
That was OK. If you try it, ask for a HALF order of the sauce with ALL the
shrimp. Add a salad and Voila!

:-)

I hope that this helps!

Be careful at Ruby Tuesday salad bar - I have no clue what's in the
dressings and I don't use them BUT the Vinegar is "Salad Vinegar" and it
lists sugar in the ingredients. I have used lemon and oil as a dressing
there and also brought my own red wine vinegar (I have a small pocket-book
sized pump for it)
