I DO wish more places would label vegetarian dishes, but it's improving. I don't mind asking for a seperate cooking surface, though; I'm honestly, diagnosed- ly allergic to beef. I find that the trick is all in how and what you ask for: if I very politely ask to have my mushroom burger cooked in a pan (instead of asking for a seperate grill to be used, which is a pain in the ass for the kitchen staff), and accept everything else as is, I'm always successful. As with everything, it's all in being considerate, no?

There ain't exactly a chef behind a frozen burger being reheated... The chefs of the world thank you, I’m sure. :)

I make an effort to pick something that will require (hopefully) no or...very simple modifications. I'm definitely not one of those UBER-obnoxious ppl who has a million requirements. But really...is it so hard to put a sauce on the side or serve a "lowly" burger plain? ;) As a “picky eater” I try to take special care when ordering at a restaurant.
