Eco-Conscious
There is a strong relationship between the restaurant and the environment. The vegetables we use to make side dishes and salads grow from the ground. The same is true for the grains and grapes used to make beer and wine. Animals walk the land and eat its plants, while fish swim in our oceans, lakes and rivers. And everything must breathe the air that surrounds us.
 
The quality of our soil, water and air can affect the quality of the product we work so tirelessly to prepare at Garrett's. We believe that the same effort we put into our food and drink should be put into protecting our natural resources.
 
We've taken the following measures to do our part:
       
  • All glass bottles, including beer and wine, are recycled.
  •    
  • Cardboard, office paper and paper menus are recycled.
  •

Tip for eating out healthy in Rockford, Illinois:
Indulge your sweet tooth wisely. Many of the chain rockford restaurants now offer a low fat or low carbohydrate dessert selection such as a low carb cheesecake. These are wise choices for the health conscious eater and still allow you to end the meal on a sweet note. If a healthy dessert option isn't available, try a cup of coffee with skim milk to help satiate your desire for something sweet.

Tip for eating out healthy in Rockford, Illinois:
Make the right entree selection. Go for broiled and grilled rather than fried. Not only will you save calories and fat grams, you'll also avoid trans fats which are so prevalent in fried foods. Instead, consider asking for a doubles order of vegetables with your entree. Very few Americans are getting the 7-9 servings of fruits and vegetables recommended for optimal health. Plus, by avoiding the starch, you'll be reducing your caloric and carbohydrate load. Also, stick to tomato based sauces rather than cream based and you'll enjoy a considerable calorie savings. Lastly, ask for the sauce to be served in a separate dish on the side so you can control the amount you eat.

Avoid ordering an appetizer. It's a little known fact that some appetizers have more calories and fat than the main course. Plus, many appetizers are fried and served with heavy sauces which will add to your intake of saturated fat as well as trans fats and calories. It's not a healthy way to start your meal.

Tip for eating out healthy in Rockford, Illinois:
Learn to control your portions. Many rockford restaurants are serving larger quantities of food than in the past. If this is the case, put aside a portion of your entree at the beginning of the meal to take home with you. If you remove it from your plate before you start eating, you'll be less tempted to overindulge.

Rockford is home to many great fast food, carry out, delivery and fine dining restaurants. Whether you are into Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Greek, Steak, Seafood or whatever, Rockford, Illinois is your source for a great dining experience.

As a staple of life our need to eat has developed from a basic form of simply feeding our bodies with the fuel it requires, to a complicated art of presentation and taste combined with our intrinsic need to experiment with everything we see, touch, smell and of course taste.

The ever-increasing divergence of foods that is now available to us at our local stores and eating-places only help to confuse and tantalise us into new culinary experiments and delights.
