Topic announcement : Restaurants

Introduction Background: Dieting is more difficult when eating out.

Thesis statement: Watching one's diet is far more difficult when dining out, especially when eating out more than eating at home'

Drive-thru

Burger King and McDonald's; Burgers and fries, basic kind of chain everyone is familiar with; too much sodium.

Taco Bell: Mexican and other cultural restaurants; Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts: Coffee and donuts, on-the-run convenience

Good things: Convenience, speed, consistency, usually friendly, clean, and open most of the time. Bad issues: Salt, fat, sometimes not clean, sometimes staffed by teens or others that don't seem to really care.

Outback: Popular steak and potato chain

Olive Garden: Italian; Chinese; good food, relatively inexpensive

Good things: Once again, chains are familiar, consistent, and have standards to meet. Bad issues: Often processed, microwaved food. Portions are too large.

Silver diners or bowling alley; Family style and greasy spoons, but when you want to spend time

Body Paragraphs

Homestyle/fancy with friends, this is where you 90' Five-star dining: Has a reputation for special occasions

Local hangouts are inexpensive but often serve large portions and fried food. Expensive places may serve smaller portions but may add high-

Gonclusion calorie sauces.

Sit-down
