In a recent ABC 20/20 "ambush" of a popular steakhouse, the food police got caught in their own sting operation. The dining tables were turned on Jayne Hurley of the Center for Science in the Public Interest as she tried to scare the public away from appetizers. For once, ABC News didn't buy it.
| JAYNE HURLEY: | HURLEY (CSPI): Steak can be a decent meal or it can be a disaster. But the worst thing you can buy at a steakhouse isn't the steak, it's the appetizers. |
| ARNOLD DIAZ: | (ABC News): Not the appetizers! They're so good. The appetizers are half the fun at these places and sometimes half the meal. Most people say they generally share these appetizers. Still, they know it's not exactly diet food. It's a treat, a splurge. |
| JAYNE HURLEY: | Skip the appetizers. |
| ARNOLD DIAZ: | Skip the appetizers? |
| JAYNE HURLEY: | Skip the appetizers. |
| ARNOLD DIAZ: | That's part of the treat of going out… Sitting down to dinner with Jayne Hurley wasn't a whole lot of fun. |
