Restaurant Syndrome: 1. Eat out. 2. Eat too much. 3. Feel bad. 4. Repeat. The Daily Beast’s Susan B. Roberts on why you do it—and five ways to minimize the damage.
Here is a situation that is probably familiar: You’d ideally like to lose some weight (and you definitely don’t want to gain more), but then you go to a restaurant and eat way more than you planned. The food may not even be that great, but you eat it anyway and come home feeling bad. You swear it will never happen again, but it does…again and again. You blame yourself for being weak, but that’s not the problem. You simply have what we can call Restaurant Syndrome.
The problem with eating out in America today is that it’s making us fat. Studies done at my laboratory at Tufts University showed that the relationship between eating out and weight gain is very straightforward: The more frequently you eat out the more likely you are to carry excess pounds. It doesn’t seem to matter too much where you go; statistically speaking, a healthy sandwich place seems to cause just as much overeating as fast food or your local Chinese.Restaurant Syndrome: 1.

Beer & Pretzel Chocolate Stout Cake with toasted almonds- only at Great Bay in Hotel Commonwealth
"The seafood island is an extra attraction, with its stools and easy access to the chefs preparing your food, it's a fun spot. The island menu offers a selection of delectable looking appetizers and entrées that absolutely suit today's diners with their grazing rather than dining approach to good food. You can ask for almost anything in sample sizes (which is not that common elsewhere). This really ups the ante on the "small plate" fad that is sweeping Boston at the moment."Beer & Pretzel Chocolate Stout Cake with toasted almonds- only at Great Bay in... more

So it's no In-N-Out, and it's definitely not healthy, but eating at UBurger is one of my weaknesses. The "special sauce" really is something special, and the fries aren't too greasy. It's definitely a once-in-awhile place, or I would have a serious health issue, but it's too hard to resist!So it's no In-N-Out, and it's definitely not healthy, but eating at UBurger... more

"John F. Kennedy would frequently meet with politicos in the private room seen here. Over bowls of the restaurants lobster stew, he sought approval from potential backers. Kennedy was merely following tradition. His grandfather, Mayor John Fitzgerald, also often held meet-and-eat sessions at Locke-Ober."

My old boss is in town with his wife and wants to take myself and some former colleagues out to dinner tonight. I need a recommendation on a place:
Near Union Square (Market and SOMA would be fine, too, but they are staying in Union)
Not terribly pricey, but not divey, either
Any ideas? HELP!
