Catering to the PatientsTips on Selling the Cardiac Diet:“Try our oven fried chicken, tastes like fried chicken but is better for you.” “Our brown rice is a great side item full of filling fiber and nutrients”“The sweet potatoes are mashed to perfection and cooked from scratch”“Braised greens accompany the meal and taste even better with added hot sauce or Mrs. Dash.”
