The Dog Pound Menu at Forge In the Forest

Fifth Avenue and Junipero Street, Carmel

624-2233

Worried about your waistline but still want to enjoy a meal outside the home? Never fear. Though you might get an odd look from the waiter, ordering from The Forge’s virtually carb-less Dog Pound Menu is a portion-controlled way to enjoy cuts of meat that are probably more suitable for humans than dogs anyway. For $13, order yourself a “Good Dog” and be treated to 6-ounces of grilled New York steak, less any of the diet-busting accompaniments. Grilled chicken, all-beef hot dogs and ground beef patties are on the doggie menu too. Just stay away from the Milkbone. Complimentary petting may be more complicated for humans than canines.
