I have a gig in San Antonio next week.

I want to be a tourist in the few free moments I'll have so I'm going to walk by the "river"

Does anyone know where can I order vegetarian food without being shot by the Sheriff or lynched by a posse?

I don't know, but I think you're allowed to eat vegetarian food in Texas - as long as you shoot it yourself.

"I don't know, but I think you're allowed to eat vegetarian food in Texas - as long as you shoot it yourself."

ahh the HONOR system.


Thanks for that.

I think I'll buy some fancy boots before I order.

TOFU CHILI????

A deep fried chilli bean and grits burger, with onions and ketchup in a hand sawn bun.

Yammy!

Yammy is right.

I'll have a side of Tofu chili with that.

I've been to San Antonio many times, I take the family down there usually once a year.

but I'm not a vegatarian, so I have no idea where to find those types of restaurants.  sorry.

Likewise have been to San Antonio (a few, not many) times but not a vegetarian either - but I found this out of curiosity -

Mike,

down on the River you'll find plenty of nice places that will, if not cater to your particular tastes, accomodate it.  There is (was the last time I was down there, anyway) a couple of nice up-style yuppie restraunts right above downtown (and a good martini, too).  I think it was St. Joesphine's.  Close to the Modern art museum (pretty nice, really), made from the old Pearl brewery.  Cool part of town, tho it is like a pile of spaghetti since all the highways meet there.  Joesphine Ave. exit off of 281 (mcAlister).

You are missing out of the real fun, tho, sorry.  Blanco Cafe (there are about 4 of them but the one on Blanco is the real deal).  You can find guacomole stuff there, but it is real tex mex so not much else vegetarian.  Very coarse, food not cusine.  And one of the best hamburger joints is close by, but I won't even go there.

I dont' know anybody that still lives there, or otherwise I could tell you the hot spots so you don't seem like one of the bridge and tunnel tourists (that's what we in NYC used to call the kids from New Jersey).  Sorry.  Most of my other info is old.  One of my favorite places used to be a chain called the Texas stores.  One side was liquor, the other guns.  Very authentic!

have fun, San Antonio is a great visit.

Thanks everyone and especially AT for the details.

We're are going to be working at some near by race track or test drive track all day for a few days... and then I hope to see a few sights and eat some good food.

Giddy Up!
