Betty and Franc - Day 26 Red Robin YUM :-)

We have a quick review of our lunch we had at at Red Robin. We've been to Red Robin in the past and enjoyed their gourmet burgers and fries, but this was our first trip there as Vegans. We knew they had Bocca and Veggie burgers, but we're not sure about some of the sauces. We asked the server for help and she returned with the kitchen manager who had a whole list of the menu items which contained egg and or milk products.We found this super helpful and made our decision much easier. I (Franc) had the Bocca burger with onion, Whiskey River BBQ sauce, lettuce and tomato. Betty had the Veggie burger combo with yellow mustard instead of the honey mustard. Both burgers came with unlimited steak fries and were very large and filling. I was most impressed that the staff at Red Robin took the extra time to find us the information that ensured we were eating a Vegan meal. Most places wouldn't make the extra effort, so we really appreciated their efforts.

After returning home, I checked out the Red Robin website and found a couple of cool tools that were really helpful. First, they had the list of foods which contained milk and egg in their allergen list on their site. They also have an awesome tool which allows you to custom build your burger! The tool will even calculate the fat and calories with your custom selections, plus you can print out your creation and take it to the store for them to make for you. Enjoy!

~ Day 18 Betty

 Something I wanted to share. Today I had a business luncheon, Ive had this same meeting every month and they typically serve the same buffet. I was concerned because besides salad I was thinking Iwould be unable to eat much. I ask the waitress prior to the luncheon if the cloudy looking Italian contained dairy? She came back with a raspberry vinaigrette in her hand and told me that the Italian did have dairy but the raspberry dressing did not. She also said she was having the kitchen steam me some veggies with no butter.... I ended up having a wonderful lunch of fruit, salad, and steamed veggies and it was simple. I was so pleased it worked out so simple and easy and all I had to do was ask one question. I shouldn't worry this isn't that hard :-)
