I Know I Shouldn't...
...but I love some of the chain restaurants like Panera Bread, Bruegger's Bagels, and Einstein Brothers Bagels. Why? Because I know I can get consistently good, inexpensive, healthy, and quickly-prepared vegetarian meals at those places. Fast food restaurants rarely offer anything vegetarian and healthy. And with independently owned places, I'm not likely to find vegetarian fare. Often, they serve BBQ or typical red meat diet fare. So, now my dirty secret is out. I know I should be anti- big corporation, but I just can't help myself. A girl has to eat.

Actually, Panera is one of a growing number of chain restaurants that are stepping up the quality of their ingredients + buying from smaller sources, not agribusiness farms, + (I know you are not a meat eater) from farms that treat animals humanely + don't use growth hormones or antibiotics. Some others on the list are 5 guys (yeah, its a burger joint, but my boyfriend said they have the best fries), Chipotle (a-mazing veggie burritos!!) + Jason's Deli (loads of veggie options + organic ingredients). We have all of these in TN, hopefully they are in VA as well.
Shona, thanks for the info on these restaurants. I knew about Chipolte's commitment to healthy, local food but am glad to learn about the others.
