Uno Chicago Grill: Mega-Sized Deep Dish Sundae

Dessert, anyone? While some may be satisfied with a small bite of something sweet or a sorbet to cleanse the palate, Uno Chicago Grill offers up the Mega-Sized Deep Dish Sundae.

This offering consists of a hot cookie, baked in the restaurant's signature deep-dish pizza pan, topped with ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream.



The dessert delivers 2,800 calories and 72 grams of saturated fat.

"Nobody thinks something called a Mega-Sized Deep Dish Sundae is a health food," Wootan said. "But as a nutrition professional, I was pretty shocked to see that it has 2,800 calories."

Ayoob said that whichever way the cookie crumbles, even sharing this dessert might not blunt its impact on your diet.

"This is just ridiculous for one person. It's ridiculous for four people -- still 700 calories for dessert alone," he said.

His advice? Limit yourself to a single bite -- and let your friends take the calorie bullet.

"You'll still have participated, and you'll actually be able to move on because your rear-end won't be as big as that of people who scarfed the dessert," he said.

"Here's a hint: while the rest have their mega-dessert, order a cappuccino with full-fat milk and add sugar if you like," Ayoob added. "It'll only add up to about 150 calories and it'll feel like total indulgence, but with calcium."
