Dining out<br />
I hear the laughs of veteran<br />
vegans as I write this…<br />
“<br />
You’re going to find very<br />
quickly that dining out as a<br />
vegan is difficult.<br />
Do you like “veggie<br />
burgers”?<br />
What about “meatless<br />
salads”?<br />
Admittedly, hospitality is<br />
getting better at providing<br />
more vegan options, but research<br />
is paramount before<br />
visiting anywhere. There<br />
have been a few times<br />
where I’ve been forced to<br />
eat veggie due to lack of<br />
options.<br />
To overcome: find Facebook<br />
groups for your local area.<br />
Vegans are passionate eaters.<br />
We don’t punish our<br />
tastebuds, so, when a local<br />
restaurant (especially a<br />
vegan-only venue) does an<br />
amazing job, we shout and<br />
scream about it. Dedicated<br />
vegan groups for local areas<br />
are establishing on<br />
Facebook for this purpose.<br />
Find them, use them, and<br />
enjoy eating out!<br />
There are also apps and<br />
websites dedicated to the<br />
curation of such vegan<br />
establishments. Vegan-<br />
Friendly and Happy Cow are<br />
two I recommend. Others<br />
exist and more will come.<br />
Additionally, I saw this challenge<br />
as a positive. To contribute<br />
to the community,<br />
it became my vegan duty<br />
to find all the vegan-friendly<br />
restaurants in my local<br />
area and try them. Not all at<br />
once, mind you.<br />
