Kitchen Confidential

We received so much reader response about last month’s cover story on the fat, calorie and sodium contents of some local restaurant food that we decided to turn it into a monthly column.

Going forward, we’ll test two items each month. If you have a test suggestion, let us know by clicking here.

FRENCH ONION SOUP -- COQUINE RESTAURANT

AUBERGE CAESAR -- AUBERGE DU POMMIER

TEST PARAMETERS: The portion sizes and composition of restaurant food items may vary based on a number of factors in the preparation process. Results therefore relate only to the items tested. A standard margin of error applies for each item and is available to view at www.postcity.com.

*DAILY VALUE PERCENTAGES: Health Canada uses a 2,000-calorie diet as the benchmark for nutritional labelling, and so did we. Subsequent values for total fat and carbohydrates are derived as a percentage of that diet. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs. Daily value for sodium applies to most people, regardless of caloric intake. For protein, intakes are generally adequate and are not a health concern for Canadians who have access to a mixed diet.
