Restaurants The vegetarian experiment

It was Wayne's idea. After eating veal recently, I had my usual attack of guilt. As I told him, I didn't eat veal for ethical reasons for more than 10 years. He said he doesn't feel right about eating meat of any type much of the time.
"Why don't we experiment and not eat meat for a week?" he said.
"Well," I said, "I have decided to stop eating pasta and bread, so that would be difficult."
Boy howdy. We could have eaten every meal at Dynamic Dish and been quite happy. But part of the initial plan, besides staying within our usual intown dining zones, was to go to our regular haunts that serve meat. As I'm sure you've noticed, nearly every restaurant these days offers "vegetarian options." I never order these, unless it's a straightforward salad, so I thought this would be an opportunity to experiment.
