Just wondering who is a vegetarian and how difficult it is for you to find dine-out vegetarian options. Some places it's easy, some places it's hard. I myself have not had too much trouble living in California - there are plenty of Fresh Choice - type restaurants, as well as Thai and Indian food that have meatless options. Being Indian also helps, as I inherit all my mom's Class A vegetarian recipes. But say I visit my friends in Texas - oh man, it is ridiculously hard to find something other than a leaf of lettuce to order at a restaurant.

Recently, my best friend from high school decided to make this tool (because he is awesome, and I am not) to be the ultimate vegetarian resource. It's only a few weeks old, but it looks pretty good. It's called LiveVeg and it has a veggie-oriented restaurant directory that all members can add to and review. Currently unmoderated I think so don't spam it. :p Anyways, if you're veggie you might like it and if you're not, well you probably won't care. :p

Have at you!

This could be useful for non-vegetarians as well. Provided they still like to eat vegetables. I don't mind vegeterian food every now and then. If it tastes good, why not?

I could never do this. I like animal guts too much. Eggs with cheese please :D

Although that is a cool site for people who wish to deny their omnivore heritage XD

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee(etc,etc)l~!

Since when are you a vegetarian? ;o Cool site =] I could go off meat if I wanted, I think. Only I'm too lazy and it makes it harder to find food and such.

It is more than just meat which is what kills it for me D: I like my Eggs, Cheese and other non-meat but not vegetarian diet :D

I could probably go all grain though now that I think about it :D Cereal around the clock XD

My wife's a vegetarian in Texas, so she might find this interesting. I'll show her the site.

Those are animal products, so if you don't eat them then you are vegan. :3 I couldn't do a vegan diet, maybe for a week but then I'd be like wtf x_x

ACK XD I always get that confused. Then I am practically a vegetarian as it is XD I like certain meats but not enough. Oh man what is wrong with my brain right now XD

Eggs = Abortions in a shell O_o

If you ever want help finding vegan/vegetarian friendly restaurants, just do a quick search on Chowhound Boards - Chowhound (http://www.chowhound.com/) forums. 80% of the great restaurants I eat at, I found via the lovely people who post on those forums. I did a search for vegetarian in Texas and a bunch of threads popped up.

I'm not a vegetarian and never will be. There are certain things I won't ever eat like foie gras, just cause it's disgusting to think about how that liver came to be, and I try to eat at places where I know the meat products are locally grown and treated humanely and avoid places like KFC where that's obviously not the case.

But meat is good. Meat is yummy.

Whether you're a vegetarian/vegan/omnivore/whatever, try out the chowhound forums. Expand your food horizons.

I think it's some kind of prerequisite to being Indian.

I should encourage those of you who are interested to actually register, otherwise the resource isn't really that useful, you know? I plan on entertaining myself with adding entries on slow work days.
