This year’s Center for Science in the Public Interest “Xtreme Eating Awards” names not one but three Cheesecake Factory dishes to its top nine list of the nation’s most abominably calorie-laden chain menu items. The French Toast Napoleon’s 2,900 calories are a solid 700 to 900 more than recommended for moderately active adults, and even a slice of the chocolate peanut-butter variety of the namesake cheesecake would require three and a half hours of aerobic exercise to eliminate. That’s a lot of laps, but thrill-seekers can in fact do worse: An A.1. Peppercorn Burger, steak fries, and a Monster Salted Caramel Milkshake combo at Red Robin manages to amass 3,540 calories.
