Eat Right Award of Excellence
This month, twelve area restaurants are being awarded the “Eat Right Award of Excellence” from Steps to a Healthier Fayette County. Through an application process, the restaurants were selected to receive the award because they offer healthy selections to customers that can help the residents of Fayette County meet current dietary recommendations. The restaurants were selected because they offered lower-fat entrees, dark leafy greens, whole grain selections or other healthful choices. All of the choices were reviewed and approved by Registered Dietitians. Some of these restaurants will also be working with Steps to add even more healthful choices to their menus Of course, not all menu items meet these criteria, but the choice is up to the customers.

The program was also supported by the Laurel Highlands Restaurant Association.  They will receive an honorary award of excellence for supporting the program. Restaurants receiving the award include:
