Vegetarian’s Night Out- A How-To Tale

        Eating out as a vegetarian can seem a little bit intimidating at first, especially if you live somewhere that has little to no veggie-based restaurants kickin’ around! One of my biggest pet peeves is getting dolled up to go eat at a fancy restaurant and realizing that the only thing that I can eat is salad. Salad is the LAST thing that I want to pay for when I go eat out! However, it can be scary when you don’t know what ingredient is in what, if the soup is beef-based, or if the noodles are cooked in chicken broth. So, after learning the hard way several times, I finally mastered the technique in eating out. 

Ask. It’s as simple as that. Don’t be afraid to ask your waitress/waiter if something has any trace of meat in it before you order. And if they aren’t sure, ask them if they could check for you. 

DON’T FEEL BAD. If the restaurant wasn’t clear on veggie items, or in the more likely fact, doesn’t even accommodate vegetarians, then its best that you ask, and let them know that vegetarians need to be provided with at least some sort of accommodation there or else they will lose yours, and I’m sure many others, business. 

So go; eat out and be merry, and ask your waiter about vegetarian options ;)
