If you look at their nutritional info chart, nearly all of their burgers, chicken, sandwiches, etc are over the top high in sodium. The steaks are more reasonable (being under 1,000 mg per serving) Sadly, a majority of chain restaurants, institutional places, hospitals, airline caterers, and especially grade school through high school kitchens are going this route as well. It's less labor, less thought, and IMO less creative. In the long run, we will all pay for it via obesity, hypertension, and other health issues. Salt/sodium acts as a preservative, which is helpful, but this is going to far and is absurd.
