Secret Menu
Vegans are accustomed to cobbling together a vegan meal out of the options at hand, even when we end up at spots that are catered to meat-eaters. Just because a restaurant doesn’t have an established list of vegan menu items doesn’t mean there’ll be nothing for vegans to eat. Whether you need to change the sauce or sub out the cheese, it’s possible to create a meal for yourself that’s as satisfying as it is tasty!

Loaded Sweet Potato:
You know a delicious meal is coming when it starts with a sweet potato. Order a sweet potato, a side of sauteed mushrooms and a side of grilled onions. Top your potato with the mushrooms and onions and enjoy.
Extra Veggie Salad:
As yummy as the house salad is, it can use a little extra something. Order it with no egg, no cheese and no croutons, with olive oil and vinegar dressing. Get a side of buttered corn (no butter) and a side of steamed vegetables. Add your veggies and corn to the salad for an extra veggie meal.
