BANGKOK CAFE

Bangkok Cafe Roslindale is pleased to have been selected by the Boston Public Health Commission to participate in the Boston BestBites Program, that promotes healthy, lighter menu options.

According to the City of Boston web site, "The Boston BestBites program, which has been endorsed by the American Heart Association of Massachusetts, will give neighborhood restaurants the opportunity to join a campaign that promotes these healthier options, benefiting the restaurants while also promoting an important public health message.

Restaurants that participate in the program work with a nutritionist to identify possible BestBites menu items. Those items then receive a nutritional analysis provided by nutrition staff at the Brigham and Woman’s Hospital, which has partnered with the city on this effort. If the recipes meet the nutritional guidelines designed for the program, those items can be listed as Boston BestBites menu selections. If the recipe does not meet the nutritional guidelines, a nutritionist will work with the restaurant owner or chefs to consider alternative ingredients or preparation methods that can result in a healthier dish."
