Do you have any suggestions re: gettng raw meal at dinner theater?

[Guest guest]

Later this week, I'm invited to a press showing of the opening of a play at a

local dinner theater.

The menu is very cooked--mostly meat, plus something called a salad bar,

which I have a feeling is iceberg lettuce, croutons and cooked beans.

 

I'm trying to think of a simple raw recipe that I could request in advance.

The thing is, this place is not at all into organics, so I have to think of a

recipe that uses conventional vegs, fruits, etc. that are the least toxic to

eat when they are not organic. (Avocados would be one such item.) Another

concern is that they won't have the right supplementary ingredients or want to

buy them (because the place is run on a shoestring). I mean things like

Celtic salt, nama shoyu, really raw agave, raw nuts and seeds, and extra virgin

first cold-pressed olive oil in a dark glass bottle.

 

The thing that seems easiest to suggest would be yellow squash angel hair

pasta with a fresh marinara sauce. But I serously doubt this place has a

spiralizer.

 

I should probably not even bother requesting a raw meal (because it all seems

too difficult) and just eat my dinner before I go, arrive after the other

audience members have eaten, and just see the show.

When I go out to a place I know I can't get the food I want, I just bring my own

and tip the wait person well. No one has ever said anything ... unless I ASK if

I can eat my own food - then they always say NO.

 

Usually, I put my meal in a gift bag so it looks like I have a gift for someone

I'm with.

 

Dinner theatre's are dark anyway. No one will notice.

Exactly. OR bring your own meal to have served to you. Call ahead and

explain it's due to a strict diet you follow for health reasons, etc.

I just spoke with the catering woman at the dinner theater. She has never

heard of raw foods and said the only raw items--lettuce, tomatoes, cukes and

onions--are not organic, because organic is expensive, and they like to keep

costs down. But she said they want to gradually offer a healthier menu (than

the meat they now serve) and she welcomes my educating her about raw foods.

 

So my plan is to eat before-hand. (It will be too much trouble to make food

and bring it.)
