Top 10 Guilty Restaurant Pleasures

Smart Indulgence #3: Hamburger

Unscrupulous restaurateurs have sullied the hamburger's reputation with fat-heavy toppings like bacon, tortilla strips, onion rings, butter-infused truffle oil—basically if it's legal, they've put it on a burger. But the truth is, a simple, quarter-pound burger, free from the frills that turn into body fat, is actually quite harmless. Cheese adds another 100 calories, so you have to decide if that's worth the splurge. Otherwise, load on the ketchup and mustard and enjoy.
