Again, while on vacation, I dine out much more often than when I'm trying to stay in a budget at home. Here's the result.
Pizza Factory: If you have ANY dietary restrictions steer clear of this place. The poor waitress ran to the kitchen several times for me while I seriously told my table-mates that all I could have was water with a lemon for dinner. Ultimately the sweet waitress was determined to help and created a pasta dish. $9 for a bowl of veggies with Asian sauce. Decent, but hardly a dinner.
Olive Garden: As a national chain this restaurant does better with diets. Ultimately I had a gluten-free pasta. Lessons at Pizza Factory taught me to make sure I at least order a drink in case the meal is less than satisfactory. Thanks to our wonderful server, he set aside a salad without dressing for me and brought me un-doctored bread sticks.
The best for last...
Gingers Garden Cafe: This is in Springville peeps, (15 minutes south of BYU, next to Magleby's) but it is the best vegan dining I've come across yet. They do offer some meat options and cater beautifully to raw foodists. I ordered the portabella burger and a salad. It felt good to taste ranch dressing again and all the sprouts in my salad just made me feel great! Ah, healthy eating.
