This is a new restaurant in MN, I believe its been on the West Coast for awhile now. They have decent food, a good place for a burger and they have great fries.

We have asked about nutritional info before and was told it was online. No biggie. Today after getting my pump hooked up we decided to eat there. I ordered a salad. Tried looking on online food databases and their website for nutritional info. Their website kept kicking me to the mobile site and wouldn't let me view the regular site on my iPhone. No other food content sites had info. No biggie, except for the dressing it was mostly protein - cheese, bacon, etc.

We get home and I try looking up their info so I can add it to my Calorie King book. Nothing is on the site. So, I emailed them. My husband wanted an answer ASAP, so he called. He was told "Its not online because we're still testing the food. If you have specific dietary concerns, you shouldn't eat here."

Some states already have laws in place that restaurants have to provide this information. I can't find the MN law (if there is one), but I'm not digging too deeply at the moment.

I guess we'll have to be forgoing Smashburger, mainly on principle.

That's too bad!

I've never heard of them before - must not be a big chain if they're still "testing the food" anyway.

Went out for our favorite Thai food yesterday. The place had some refrigeration problem and was closed. It is a bit of a drive from work, so we just walked around to find another place to eat. Ended up at a place that makes only burgers. No my first choice, but the others I was with wanted to go there. I had a 1/3 lb burger and some onion rings. Left half the bun behind. That burger made me gain 3 lbs yesterday! Amazing how so little food becomes even more weight once inside a body. ;)

I love Smashburger but also couldn't find any information online. It's one of those "once in a long while" to eat places, so I just have to wing it...
