WHITE PLAINS -- Is there really any way to reduce the bad stuff in that great American classic the bacon cheeseburger, while preserving its taste?

A growing restaurant chain named Muscle Maker Grill, which has just opened its first Upstate New York location, thinks so.

Among its many healthier offerings include one with turkey bacon, reduced fat cheddar cheese and zero-carb signature sauce.

It also offers low-carb wraps, low-fat turkey meatballs, reduced-fat cheeses, zero-carb and zero-fat salad dressings, brown rice, etc. You can go online to see the chain's comparisons of its ingredients and those of competitors'.

The new Muscle Maker Grill is located at 51 Court Street. Among locations soon to get a Muscle Maker Grill are Newburgh and Yonkers.

Earlier this year, chain founder Rod Silva announced plans to expand the franchise system from 50 to 100 units. It already has locations elsewhere in New York, as well as in Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Oklahoma and Florida.
