A conversation with Chris Peiterson, Carino's Italian - low calorie dishes at italian restaurants

Some restaurants offer healthy menu options for adults, but Texas-
The Italian restaurant based in Carino has a geographical location of 231. W.
Loop 410 is expanding its efforts to the children's menu, which now offers less than 500 calories.
Executive chef at Carino's Italian restaurant, from his 5-year-
Old daughter Veronica wants to meet the restaurant's demand for healthy children's food through menu changes.
Peitersen is an advocate of healthy eating for children and visited schools around the city to educate young students to choose food.
Many people know that childhood obesity is a big problem. This can sometimes be due to the fact that both parents are at work and that people take McDonald's on their way home or throw pizza in the oven because it's convenient.
There are not many healthy choices for children in the restaurant.
Chicken fingers or chips.
Realizing that it was a problem, we wanted to improve our children's menu and we were one of the first restaurant companies to open the box.
Chicken fingers and chips were completely removed from the menu because of unhealthy.
About a day's heat for a child.
On top of that, we added four new menu items: Turkey and mozzarella cheese; a Pizza Pasta;
Pasta with chicken and broccoli;
There is also dipdip, which is basically a pizza without sauce, with light cheese and ketchup.
It will be launched on Monday and all calories will be less than 500 calories.
If you look at Carino's menu, we're actually two parts.
We have classic Italian dishes and the best Italian staples we make.
Many things are frozen and premade if you go to other Italian restaurants, they just unfreeze them.
If you come to the kitchen at 8 in the morning, the chef is making pasta
Roll the meatballs and make tiramisu
We are very proud of our dishes and I will put them in front of any Italian restaurant.
The second part is more creative and a bit Italian.
We use the classic Italian concept to make it a Carino brand.
For example, our No. 1-
The appetizers are tortillas with black olives, Roman tomatoes, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan and jalapeno.
We put Italian things in nature and put our unique talents on it.
If you like Italian cuisine, try Carino's set meal, which includes lasagna, Parma chicken and spaghetti.
This is basically a sample to show you how good we are doing classic Italian dishes.
Try spicy shrimp and chicken if you want to take risks more. On Sept.
6, we launched a brand new menu and we are very excited about it as we will have a new wine list and I will launch some new menu items.
At the same time, we also started our large wine crushing Wine Festival, where we placed great emphasis on teaching different wines to our guests.
It will be a big celebration of food and wine.
It's a bit ridiculous to me because I get paid to do what I like;
This is a general blessing.
I like to entertain and cook for people, so in the simplest form, I like to cook and see people come in and enjoy the food. -
