Vegetarians Can't Eat Out

I just can't stand it any more. I can't just eat things with no meat any more. I have had enough of bean burrito's, veggie sub's, and anything cheese based. As of yet, only a couple sit down restaurants my wife and I love eating at have things I can eat. I'm tired of refried beans, cheese taquito's, and cheese quesadilla's. I want more from a restaurant!

And why not? Why should I not expect at least something of good tasting? Especially when I am paying for it? Doesn't have to be anything huge, but a couple unique items would be nice. Chili's at least has a spicy black bean burger, as does Ruby Tuesdays. But for sure, nothing fast food has anything worth paying for.

I'm only complaining because I'm at the end of my rope eating out. So I am really doing some good cooking myself. I am making vegetarian chili and homemade vegetarian soup this week. I am taking my own initiative and making something delicious for myself. Next week, I am making meatless chicken buffalo pieces with real buffalo wing sauce! As well, I am going to try the "stroganoff" that Abolitionist Raven made and put her recipe up on her blog.

Its slow going as I have no friends or family that are vegan or vegetarians, so I am alone in my venture. This seems to me harder than I first expected as no one wants to really hear why I don't eat meat of any kind, or why I am trying to be a vegan. At least my wife is very supportive.
