The Great Cow Smackdown: Steak ‘n Shake vs. Sullivan’s
Topic: Restaurants
Posted: Thu, Mar 24, 2005 
In the last two days I’ve eaten at both Steak ‘n Shake and Sullivan’s for lunch. You’re probably familiar with both: Steak ‘n Shake is a casual diner-style chain restaurant popular with families and softball teams. Sullivan’s is a high-end steak house chain restaurant that’s popular with people who have big dates or big expense accounts. The funny thing is, you’re essentially getting the same thing at both establishments – beef, potatoes, veggies – but in very different wrappers. So, which is better?

Well at least you got the final score right Jen. Steak 'n' Shake may put us all in a grave sooner, but the experience for the $ is perfect.

Unfortunately, this review is corrupted by specious health claims. Mayonnnaise is just eggs and oil, definitely not "heart-clogging", nor is the meat. Calling the S'n S meal an "imminent heart-attack is grossly innaccurate and unfair, especially since the OTHER meal also had steak and potatoes and a sticky sweet dessert.
If you want to eat healthy, throw away the bread and beans, and skip the sugary drinks and dessert.
ANd what is really the point of trying to compare two different foods ar different restaurants, whe one is 3 times more expensive. Maybe your next silly "smack-down" could compare drving on Meridian Street vs the Indy 500.

Hey I am thankful for your article on weight loss. I am curious to know your thoughts about dieting. I have tried a few different cleansing options some free ones and some paid ones. What have you used effectively?

A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do believe that you need to publish more about this issue, it might not be a taboo matter but usually folks don't talk about these issues.
To the next! Kind regards!!
