About Texas Roadhouse Green Beans
The green beans are the conscience of the sides list: slow cooked with bacon and onion for $3.49 at only 100 calories, the lightest side in the building while still tasting like the South cooked them. They are the balancing entry on ten thousand rib plates nightly.
The bacon is not garnish; it simmers in from the start, seasoning the pot the traditional way. Vegetarians should note this with respect and order the steamed vegetables instead. Everyone else orders these beside everything heavy and feels their choices average out.
