Houston-based locations of Perry’s Italian Grille and Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille are slimming down their menus to cater to the growing number of low-carb Atkins dieters in the area.

Perry’s will now feature low-carb spaghetti, linguini and penne pastas, each containing only five grams of carbohydrates per portion.

Founded in 1979, the family-owned Perry’s Restaurant Group operates six locations in the Houston area, with plans on the drawing board to open a new Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in Sugar Land Town Square in May.
