Look at the Insane Calorie Counts of Your Favorite Chain Restaurant Dishes

Chain restaurants have a certain pleasing familiarity to them. An Applebee's in Delafield, Wisconsin, is going to provide you with essentially the exact same experience as one in Parsippany, New Jersey. But standardizing menus across the entire system comes with one disadvantage: It allows anyone to be able to look up calorie counts online. We tracked down the calorie counts of some of the most popular dishes across 10 major chains, and, well, it ain't pretty.

Cheesecake Factory: Louisiana Chicken Pasta

Cheesecake Factory is notorious for its huge portions and monster calorie counts, and its popular Louisiana Chicken Pasta contains parmesan-crusted (aka deep-fried) chicken cutlets served over a mound of creamy bow-tie pasta with mushrooms, peppers, and onion.
