I turned vegetarian after my trip to Texas.

Yeah, unfortunately those types of restaurants are somewhat common here. (Looking at you Chicken Express!!!) I don't know about the rest of the country because I've always been a Texan.
I don't care that my options are
limited by my choice to not eat crap, I just wish places would offer at least
one somewhat, slightly, kinda sorta healthy alternative.
When we take guests out for business lunches and want a local place, we go to this "Italian" place that does a southwest flair. It sounds strange but they do pizza and linguine with green chiles, crap like that. BUT, they have salads, wheat crust options, lighter sauces and whole wheat pastas. I just can't imagine taking a guest to a one trick pony restaurant not knowing what their diet may restrict.
ETA: I do love me some chicken fried steak but haven't had it in ages. Oddly enough, I just mentioned it this week to DH! I will
not go have some now though.
