Founded in 1976 in Beaumont, Texas, Jason's Deli has been serving up a varied menu of delicatessen-style meals for nearly 50 years. Its selection of piled-high meat sandwiches, garden-fresh salads, loaded baked potatoes, and hearty pasta make it easy to find a lunch or dinner to suit any appetite. (Don't forget that other perk: free soft-serve ice cream!)
If you've ever wondered which of the chain's menu items make for healthier choices, you don't have to look too far. The Jason's Deli online menu lists calorie counts right next to each selection. As a nutritionist, I've taken an even deeper look at nutrition info at Jason's, searching out the 14 best and eight worst choices on the menu.
