Cheddar’s Grand Re-Opening & Giveaway!

Cheddar’s Grand Re-Opening & Giveaway!

I was invited to attend Cheddar’s Grand Re-Opening recently and I was so glad I got to go!

Y’all know about my weight loss a couple of years ago and how I keep it off by eating normal portion sizes, which is NOT what we normally eat – you would be surprised if you started looking at everything you eat and just eating the portion size!  But, I have gone off the subject – a little!

Cheddar’s has a great new menu and I got to try some of the new items and they were all great!

We got to hear from and talk with the chef at the Bedford, TX location and told us that all of the new items were under 550 calories!  Nice!

The event began with a ribbon cutting:

Then we all headed inside and heard from Cheddar’s management and then the head Chef.

The chef also said that most of Cheddar’s dishes are made in house from scratch!  That always makes for a healthier meal!

We got to try the Grilled Baja Chicken first:

Seasoned Chicken Breast served on homemade black beans and savory rice, topped with pico de gallo.   490 calories

Then we got to try the Asian Salad:

Fresh greens tossed with chicken, carrots, herbs, and mango stacked between two wonton crisps topped with peanut sauce and sweet chili glaze.

On this dish, you might notice it is a chicken salad – most places I go the chicken breast is sliced in maybe 6-7 pieces and lad thick on top of the salad making it hard to really have chicken throughout your salad.  Well, Cheddar’s solved that problem with this salad:

In this smaller version you can see that the chicken is thinly sliced and they have tossed it in with the vegetables so that the chicken is easier to eat and is there thru the entire dish.  Nice!

Then came dessert:

This is a Strawberry Cheesecake Mini Silky cheesecake atop a bed of graham cracker crumbs.  Accented with strawberries and whipped cream.

This is a great idea, in my opinion, for a few reasons!  These are just $.99 – that means you can get the kids a dessert without having to break the bank, it also means you don’t have to spend $5.95 on one and every one shares!  lol  Also, it’s not too much, not too big, won’t make you feel you shouldn’t have eaten it!

Next time you are trying to decide where to eat out, try Cheddar’s!  I can’t wait to try the new Parmesan Crusted Sirloin!

They also have an email club you can sign up for:

Not only will you be the first to know about new menu items, special offers, and the latest scoop; but you will also have a chance to be heard as we consider new dishes and ideas together.
