i recently bought the 4th edition of “The Complete Food Counter and am very disappointed in it!! You left out alot of items that were in the 3rd edition.. And the shocker was you left out Arby’s and Wendy’s in the restaurant chains!! You should not delete any items from previous editions but keep adding new items. That’s what i look for.. In the restaurant Chain section why not add The Cheesecake Factory and show how crappy their foods are! I’ll go look at the Most Complete Food Counter and see what thats like.. thanks for reading this. I will look forward to the 5th edition of the Complete Food Counter.. Sincerly Lynda Lambert
Sorry you are disappointed but it is impossible to put every food in every counter. We track thousands of foods and our publisher decides how big a book can be. Often foods are not updated and we do not want to provide our readers with old data. Other times information is not available. Many restaurant chains do not provide data or they only give limited information because currently this is not required by law. I there are any specific foods you are looking for and we can provide information, let us know and we will be happy to help.
