Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Travel has been (and remains) the greatest challenge for me as a sugar-free vegetarian. I have gotten infinitely better at just bringing my own food, but I do love to eat out, and there are some delightful restaurants out there that meet our needs. It just takes such an effort to find them. I would love, love, love to someday have some kind of database on the RR website where we could punch in the name of the city or area we'll be visiting and get a list of restaurant and even grocery story names with reviews from the RR community. For example, I could provide a good list of names and info on places in San Diego (where I live). I could also provide weblinks so people could check out the menus themselves. Is there anything like this in the works that anyone knows about? Kathleen? Cheers, Sharon in CA ______________________________\ ____Choose the right car based on your needs.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I would also love information on both grocery stores and whole foods markets that are within a few miles of major highways. It would really help having that information while planning long road trips because usually the only types of food places that are advertised on highways are fast food restaurants. If everyone who was in RR would add in information about their home cities or places we all know well then pretty soon we would have a very nice database of RR friendly restaurants as well as grocery stores that are convenient to reach while traveling. I would be happy to volunteer my time and resources in helping put something like this together because I feel one of the hardest things about leaving home is not knowing for sure where to get my food!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi - When I travel, I often use Happy Cow. It shouldn't be too hard to call ahead (many restaurants post their menus on-line) and check for sugar-free, swetener-free options.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think it is a wonderful idea. I have a a little list called radiant travel.Should I open it up for those of you who might like to work on this?

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yeah! That would be really useful. We can use the database for RR friendly restaurants in general and then maybe another one for RR friendly grocery stores and restaurants that are really convenient to get to while on the road (say less than 1 mile from the interstate, without having to make any turns off that main road).

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I am happy to contribute. I have a feeling that the omnivores will want to play, too - so let's be certain that all contributors indicate which restaurants are completely vegetarian or vegan (some of us prefer not to watch our dining companions eat meat), and which are all-purpose but have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yes, I'm willing to help with this too. I agree that the database section might be useful. In addition to tables for " chain " restaurants and grocery stores to look for, we could create a table for each city. I agree with Gail, I would like to make sure as this idea spreads to the larger community that we try to ensure that the vegetarian aspect is kept in the picture. I don't see radiant travel on the RR website. Kathleen, do you need to send invitations to those of us who are interested? Or what should we do next? Or should we start working on the databases here in this group to get started? allows for ten fields in the record. Some ideas are: name website or phone # street address city / area (i.e., downtown, north county, etc.) freeway and exit type of food (Indian, Italian, etc.) vegetarian, vegan, or omni sit down or take out types of browns potato with skin?
