Healthy Dining Finder is an online search resource that promotes healthy lifestyles and eating habits by establishing nutrition criteria for thousands of restaurants throughout the United States. Healthy Dining Finder's partnerships with the National Restaurant Association and its involvement with the health insurance industry and the American Dietetic Association, have created awareness for the importance of accurate nutritional analysis for the ever-growing concerned consumer.
Developed in collaboration with the National Restaurant Association and with partial funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HealthyDiningFinder.com provides information that, in many cases, is not available anywhere else. Its registered dietitians work with participating restaurants to identify their healthier dishes, analyze the nutrition content, and suggest “special request” modifications – noted on HealthyDiningFinder.com – that improve the healthfulness of their featured dishes.
The private company, headquartered in San Diego, California, has been active since 1990 and worked with thousands of restaurants analyzing more than 12,000 menu items for nutrition content.
The founders are President Anita Jones-Mueller, M.P.H., and Director of Grants and Research, Esther Hill, Ph.D.

“Roast Beef, Medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life’s Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrées, the hors d’oeuvres, and the things à la though you know that Roast Beef, Medium, is safe and sane, and sure.”
—Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
