- nondenominational religious community. Among the businesses located
- on The Farm is 'The Store' which is a small store that sells
- vegetarian food, tie-dyed t-shirts, and non-vegetarian marshmellows
- (the only non-vegetarian item I could find). Also located on The
- Farm is a soy dairy, but there are no restaurants or other places
- where one can get a meal. You can stay at their campground for $5 a
- night. The Farm is an interesting place for a quick visit, but it
- did not meet my expectations. To get there, take route 20 west just
- out of town to Drakes Lane, go a mile or so to a fork in the road,
- take the right side fork, it will take you to the gate into The
- Farm.

- restaurant. Expensive.
- - Note: Their "vegetarian" soup is made with chicken broth. I had
- asked about this specifically before and they told me it wasn't,
- but the last time I was there the "vegetarian" soup had chicken
- in it!
-
- Eureka, on Villanova (southeast corner Preston and Northwest Hwy)
- - Some vegetarian alternatives. Very pricey. Portions are small. Don't
- come here if you are hungry, unless you want to throw a lot of cash
- around. Trying to be upscale health food for the trendy.
-
- Lydia's Cafe, in Fitness Foods, southeast corner of Parker & Custer
- - Mostly ovo-lacto food. Garden Wrap with "veggie buger". Small salad
- bar. Lunch only.
-
- Pasta Bella, on west side of North Central Expwy south of Parker Road
- in Plano
- - Vegetable pizza is "vegan" if you order without the cheese.
- Sometimes you can get whole wheat crust here. Talk to the chef.
-
- Macro Gourmet, 850 S Greenville Avenue (near Spring Valley),
- Richardson, 669-8328
- - Macrobiotic. All vegetarian items are vegan. $8 for lunch on
- styrofoam plates (sans dessert). Also cooking classes and very small
- grocery store.
-
- El Gallo De Oro, on Maple
- - Hole in the wall Mexican/Guatamalan. Mostly omnivorous, but good
- Chile Rellenos and beans.
- - My memory of this place suggests to me that the food touches no
- fats other than the purest lard. I'd caution vegetarians to be
- careful. The owners/employees tend to speak little English.
-
- Cafe Society, on the southeast side of Travis, south of Knox
-
- If you're stuck with a group of carnivores who want to go to
- one of the popular places, Tia's (Tex-Mex), Chili's (Southwestern)
- and Houstons and TGI Fridays (steak/burgers) all offer veggie
- alternatives, though the best dish at Houstons, the California Salad
- is off the menu but still available.
