"What Does the Dietitian Order?" @ The Creamery Park Grille
Reviewed February 12, 2011 by The Food Hound
4 out of 5 Forks
I'm not a girl who goes to a restaurant and orders an entree salad. Why? Because if I'm going out to eat at a place where the salad is the best bet, I'd really rather be somewhere else. The Booze Hound and I try to go out less, so when we do head out to a restaurant, it’s a splurge night. And a salad is not a splurge in my book.
Unless it’s a really good salad. Perhaps maybe... the best salad in Knoxville?? I could be convinced.
Such was my thought process in trying the Creamery Park Grille or, as locals call it, the Fountain City Creamery. Let me preface this by saying that with the name “Creamery” in the title, I had no need for further menu knowledge. “Creamery” means “homemade ice cream,” which means “when can I go?”
More than one of my fellow Fountain City dwellers raved about the Sunday brunch, the ice cream... and the salads. So I thought about it and decided that a salad was really in my best interest if I wanted a mammoth ice cream cone as a finale. And for the record, the Creamery knows no cone size smaller than “mammoth.”
So I went. I ate. I became addicted.
Five Fork Ratings for Restaurant Reviews
Eat Right Knox's spin on restaurant ratings was inspired by the usual restaurant reviews but ours adds a health piece. Our Five Fork Ratings are based on defined "healthy" criteria and the RD's overall experience at the restaurant. We also ask our reviewers to give the location of the restaurant and the type of dining it provides. The reviews are here to serve as a fun, simple way to learn more about healthy dining in Knoxville.. and give you a glimpse of how RDs order at some of their favorite restaurants.

Registered Dietitians... Bring Food and Nutrition Expertise to the Table
So who is a Registered Dietitian?
Registered Dietitians (RDs) are THE food and nutrition experts. The expertise, training, and credentials that back RDs are vital for promoting positive lifestyle choices. RDs are employed at hospitals, school systems, health departments, private practices, and many other places.
Are nutritionists and RDs the same thing?
The "RD" credential is a legally protected title. Some RDs may call themselves "nutritionists," but not all nutritionists are RDs. Definitions and requirements for the term "nutritionist" vary from state to state. All RDs have completed specific education and training, including having earned at least a bachelor's degree, completed an accredited, supervised practice program, and passed a national registration exam. Always look for the "RD" credential to ensure you are receiving information from a qualified professional.
Eat Right Knox will provide food and nutrition information based on fact.
All information and reviews posted on the Eat Right Knox blog are written by local RDs. Some posts may be written by Dietetic Interns who are in the process of completing the required supervised practice - all information is reviewed by an RD before posting.
