Working and/or living downtown is great because it has so many wonderful locally owned restaurants. But finding nutritional information and identifying healthy items is typically more challenging at the local restaurants than at chains.

So for someone like myself, someone who prefers the local eateries, the options end up being the chains.

So let’s start off with Mason …
