Search Out Secret Menu Items

As I plug my way through meatless Lent, I'm gaining great respect for folks who choose to live this lifestyle year round. Restaurant owners are also paying attention and offering special vegetarian and vegan menus, although sometimes you have to ask for them. Taco Mamacita has recently rolled out a fairly extensive list of vegan options and added it to their website.

A little more research revealed a whole list of secret menus at many popular restarants which include everything from meatless options to decadent off-the-menu combinations of traditional menu items, including McDonald's "Monster Mac" made from eight patties with a side order of angioplasty.

If you find a KFC that's actually serving poutine, let me know because I might want to steer clear of that one...

Sorry, totally off topic but Gwyneth Paltrow posted a lovely post on Nashville food and music venues on her website:

Oh, hey, I found a place serving pepper-and-egg sandwiches: Savarino's. It's actually on their menu. The sandwich is described as having prosciutto in it, so you have to remember to ask them to leave that out, but otherwise...yeah, I think I'll need one tomorrow.

That "Gwyneth write-up" is half good and half total bullshit.
Guess she got tired of eating healthy/vegan/vegetarian/macrobiotic. She's some sort of diet schizophrenic.

Check out VegGuide.org for more Nashville vegan listings. The site has over 30 entries so far and you can add more yourself if you find some!
