Tonight I am going out to eat. I am excited for a change from my cooking. Fortunately, my friends know that I pick good restaurants due to my love of Yelp.com, so they usually let me pick the spot. So now when I know I'm dining out, I do the following:
1) Check with my friends for any special requests/cravings/locations.
2) Search Yelp.com for restaurants that fit the requests. If my friends are super adventurous, then I type "vegan" into the search field. :-)
3) Scan through the reviews and search for "vegan" keywords (ie. "This is NOT recommended for vegans!" "I asked the waitress, and she was very helpful in pointing out vegan-friendly menu options.")
4) Visit the restaurant's website and search their menu for vegan options or entrees that could be converted to vegan (ie. "Pasta primavera - no cheese please!)
5) Eat and enjoy.
You can also just wing it, but you may end up hungry. Last night I went to a Cirque du Soleil show and ended up buying a $5 smoothie that tasted WAY to sugary to be actually natural. I couldn't finish it - gross. Thankfully, I brought almonds along!
