Near the end of my dialysis session yesterday, I got a marketing email from Panini Kabab Grill. I used to order food from them quite often so they have my contact info from the app I downloaded. I would usually get the two kabab family dinner for the three of us at home. It’s very convenient since there is one in Santa Ana Main Place, which is only five minutes from my dialysis clinic. Like almost all restaurants in California now, they only do take-out and delivery as their dining room is closed due to COVID-19.
Basically the email was advertising them rolling back prices on two menu items: Charbroiled Chicken Shish Kabab and 4-Skewer Family Kabab Combo. I’ve been eating poorly again these past two weeks as we are stuck at home. My taste profile has changed since heart surgery so some of the items I used to like from my mom’s cooking now taste bad and some things even cause nausea and vomiting.
Panini kababs also taste slightly different from what I remembered but it’s still tasty so I bought two kabob plates for $10 each. I managed to eat one entire plate for lunch and it was good not to be hungry again. There’s no nutritional information on their website but MyFitnessPal has some basic info:
- Calories = 423 calories
- Carbohydrates = 2 g
- Fat = 2 g
- Protein = 63 g
I’m actually worried about the sodium levels since you can’t really tell from the taste how salty food is.
