Bostons

[kidvid]

I received treatment at a Bostons (pizza, pasta, beer) that was really nice a few weeks back. I'm a new Type 1 and getting pretty confident carb counting, and smart enough to look for the nutrition guide at fast food places and chain restaraunts. I also look on the Web before we go out, if I'm together enough. Well, we went out to a Bostons, and I had not checked the web. When we ordered I asked our waitress if they had a nutrition guide, and she said she'd check. As our meals got closer to arriving we still didn't have any info. so I went asked the manager - I mentioned I was diabetic - and he promptly had the assistant manager check, and they printed a guide off the web and delivered it to our table! Maybe they just didn't want a diabetic having a super-low in their establishment (I'm a cynic) but I'd like to think they were nicely curteous and customer focussed! I tipped nicely and didn't even leave my syringe wrapped up in the napkin (just kidding). Kudos - to Bostons!

I haven't heard of Bostons :dontknow:, but I will be checking to see if there's one in my area now that I know how attentive they are to their customer's needs. Thanks for the review :top:

Actually, I remember Boston's pizza from my university days in Canada. It is the chain that has the cheese under the other toppings, if I remeber correctly.

Happy that you had good service there!!

Getting the nutritional guides at restaurants is rather hit-and-miss. I was in Pahrump (hick town about 70 miles outside of Vegas with brothels) for work a few weeks back. Their KFC had no nutritional guides, and their McDonalds only had the Spanish version. That town is almost completely lily-white, so they had tons of the Espanol guides left. It took a bit of work to figure which thing was which. And of course, I couldn't get any of the newer chicken sandwiches on the menu, unless I "guessed" that they'd be the same as a similarly sized burger.

What I do now is use my PDA. There's a few websites out there that will give you the carb counts in plain HTML. Some of the restaurants' own websites will give it to me in a font so small my smartphone can't show it in a readable manner.

In-N-Out Burger is the best for a diabetic. There's only about four things on the menu, they all taste great. You know how much carbs are in anything, so long as you didn't do a weird custom order (four by four or a lettuce bun thing).
