Some stuff I've found:<br /><br />Burger King has a veggie burger. It's not good but not terrible. I would say it's on par with their other food though - I mean, I would describe their regular burger as "not good but not terrible" too. Anyway, I think it's just a frozen Morningstar burger or something.<br /><br />Starbucks - plastic-wrapped caprese sandwich. They'll put it on the panini press if you want it hot.<br /><br />Schlotzsky's - cheese original!!! A grilled cheese with veggies, basically.<br /><br />I think even Iowa has to have these places. (I lived there for a few years. 2/10, would not live there again.)<br /><br />I used to eat the Wendy's broccoli and cheese baked potato pretty often, but then they told me they didn't do the broccoli anymore :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185197508980505681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303162413007217619.post-16667670025695236952012-12-06T03:12:36.437-06:002012-12-06T03:12:36.437-06:00Sure, one could do that.

I agree about low density and vegetarianism. But there's something to be said for being first, or at least one of a very few.<br /><br />I love Chipotle, but like Which Wich, it's 30 miles away.<br /><br />The point is, I need to move out of Iowa. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225943632611733209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303162413007217619.post-7836183561768583122012-12-05T16:55:00.693-06:002012-12-05T16:55:00.693-06:00Can you order a $2 cold cut and then say hold the ...Can you order a $2 cold cut and then say hold the meat?<br /><br />I think restaurant vegetarian options will mostly be overpriced and low quality except in areas with more vegetarians and higher population density. Otherwise it's just not worth it for restaurants to invest much in that part of the menu; a vegetarian will choose that option even if it sucks and isn't cheap. And people usually go out to eat in groups, so a "food minority" will usually not have much sway in where the group chooses to eat.<br /><br />However, as far as the suckiness of fast-food vegetarian options goes, I think Chipotle is a pretty big exception.Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972593649345866812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303162413007217619.post-44584296904407926732012-12-05T14:53:49.268-06:002012-12-05T14:53:49.268-06:00That skit was hilarious.

On another note,...That skit was hilarious. Thanks!<br /><br />On another note, after much deliberation over where to eat, I couldn't think of a single place that's not a sit-down restaurant and that offers decent vegetarian fare. So I went to Wendy's because I had a coupon. On the way, I passed Noodles & Co, and I became enlightened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225943632611733209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303162413007217619.post-47903473168419814602012-12-05T14:39:02.349-06:002012-12-05T14:39:02.349-06:00As a vegetarian, I agree, but I used to eat there ...As a vegetarian, I agree, but I used to eat there a lot because Subway was the only place with any veg option in the UTD student union. Well, unless you want to count the crappy "pub" that didn't serve alcohol but did serve a veg quesadilla that was flour tortilla + American cheese + canned corn.<br /><br />But I think everyone gets the short end of the stick at Subway because their food is flavorless.<br /><br />http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82757877/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185197508980505681noreply@blogger.com
