 Did I or didn't I...... ...eat right this evening?? We had a long meeting today with a new coffee supplier/system. It was cool, but afterward we all went (their treat) to Macaroni Grill. I know, I know....pasta heaven! But, I didn't have pasta. Knowing we would be going there after the meeting today, I perused their menu online last night. After a bite of fried calimari, and a bite of Stuffed Portobello, I decided to stick to my choice: Chicken Portobello. It is grilled chicken breast topped with Portobello mushroom, smoked mozzarella, and has a demi glace...which is the part that has me wondering. Doesn't glace mean glaze, and doesn't glaze mean sugar? I hope not. It didn't taste sweet, and I'm hoping it was a good choice. I had a Caesar salad (sans croutons) in place of the spinach orzo pasta. I didn't have dessert there, but came home and had a chocolate Keto ice cream sandwich. Yum. (4 carbs) :cook: FYI: I didn't know until last night, but Macaroni Grill now substitutes sauteed spinach, grilled asparagus, grilled tomatoes, or Tuscan green beans for any pasta or potato included on any dish. Does anyone know if the "demi glace" has sugar in it? I guess I should have asked. It looked like a clearish brown gravy with garlic cloves in it. Thanks!

 Re: Did I or didn't I...... demi glace is a reduction (simmered till most of the water is gone) of some stock or broth. Good restaurants don't add sugar to it but I cannot speak for Macaroni Grill. Do a google on demi glace and you will find better explanations and typical ingrediants. It sounds like you had an on plan meal to me.

| Re: Did I or didn't I...... Thanks, Libby. The only search I thought to do was at Macaroni Grill's site, and I'm quite sure they don't list ingredients. I'll do some searching....maybe Chef Trina will chime in here!
