Sonics Chicago dog and fries still a good deal!

Forsyth MO - Grabbing a fast food meal that won't kill a diet can be a bit tricky. But, at only 690 calories, the Chicago styled hotdog at Sonic's along with an order of French fries ain't all that bad! Over the years, I've found the quality of fare at this venue to be of the best of quality, and so I make it a conscious decision to forgo burger joints like McDonald's.

And, while McDonald's will set you back almost $7 for a Big Mac and medium fry, my Sonic fare came in at only $4.85! That's a major savings, in my book, at marginally better nutrition.My only gripe about the meal is the sodium content of the dog. At 2300 milligrams, it's way over the top!
