nosh Saltiest foods in America

Ow, my kidneys are crying! Keep in mind that the recommended daily allotment of sodium is 2,300 milligrams (mg). That's like one teaspoon.

I'll skip to number 1 on this list just to shake you up:

1: The Saltiest Dish in America
Romano's Macaroni Grill Chicken Portobello
7,300 mg sodium, 1,020 calories, 66 g fat

With three items on our top 20 list, plus a slew of dishonorable mentions, Macaroni Grill earns its title as America's saltiest chain restaurant. But what makes this the saltiest dish in America? One word: demi-glace, a fancy French name for the viscous salt slick that blankets this disastrous dish. You would have to eat 32 cups of potassium-rich broccoli to compensate for this sodium avalanche.
