title: Notes from the CKD kitchen: restaurant dining.
abstract: As a chronic kidney disease patient, have you wondered how to dine in a variety of restaurants guilt-free? I have received many questions on this subject lately, which inspired me to share my strategies for a successful dining experience using my culinary knowledge. I always try to call the restaurant ahead of time and explain to them my dietary guidelines and the reason for these guidelines. If I'm not able to give the restaurant any advance notice, I follow four simple steps once I arrive at that restaurant to create a wonderful meal that will follow my doctor's and dietitian's nutritional guidelines.
