Applebees BLOWS. I got a Quesadilla burger today from there. Fat Secret calories show it at 518. Another spot supposedly has it 'verified' at 518. Without Ranch (which I nixed) 375!

I ate it, and it sure didn't 'feel' like 518 or 375, so I searched the net and found this:

Top 10 Worst Fast-Food Meals: Applebees Quesadilla Burger (A whopping 1440 calories and two days worth of sodium.)

and this:

Quesadilla Burger earns dubious honor - 1820 calories

Eat This, Not That 1920 calories

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! There goes my day. Add some water retention for a couple days from the sodium to boot.

What calorie count is in fact correct? IMO it's the higher ones.

The problem REALLY stems from Applebees themselves who won't give out any nutritional info on their food. From their website:

"We provide Weight Watchers Points® values on all of our Weight Watchers® items. We do not provide nutritional information on other Applebee's® items, except where required by law."

Thanks Applebees. Keep the nation fat.
