The Diner on Clifton serves a special Skinny Girl dinner, consisting of grilled lemon pepper Ahi Tuna, fresh steamed veggies and a salad. It's quite tasty. We have a large Arab population, so it's easy to find a good lentil salad, or a hummus platter with Lebanese salad in their yummy lemon/oregano dressing. Chain restaurants? Let's see: I *would* recommend Subway's veggie patty sub on whole wheat, except that their website contains no nutritional information on the veggie patty and some franchise locations don't offer that option. And rumor is that it has cheese and egg whites in it. Chipotle is actually a great place to go, so long as you order a salad bol, going easy on the rice/sour cream/cheese and sticking with the black beans and either the chicken or pork. The nice thing about Chipotle is that they serve free-range, organic pork and (depending on the location) chicken. A great option for ethical eaters out there. That's why I usually eat vegetarian if I'm eating out--it's hard to tell the source of the meat that a restaurant is serving. Chick Fil A has an awesome Southwest grilled chicken salad that has REAL veggies in them and uses romaine (not iceberg) lettuce. Not so sure about the source of the chicken, but it tastes better than most fast food restaurants, not as slimy. Great blog, btw.
