  Restaurant Chains
  -----------------

  Thanks to the North American Vegetarian Society for much of the
  following information.

  These are by no means vegetarian, they are just listed here to make
  you aware of what is, or what may soon be, available to you in fast
  food restaurants, and also what is to be avoided.

  Arby's
  - Vegan items: Apple Turnover, Arby's Sauce, Blueberry Turnover,
    Buns (Junior, Regular, Super), Cherry Turnover, Chocolate Syrup,
    Jamocha Syrup, Lite Italian dressing, Potato Cakes, Side Salad,
    Sub Dressing. French fries which would otherwise be vegan may be
    deep fried in the same oil as non-vegetarian items.

  Baskin Robbins
  - The Ices are vegan and they're excellent.

  Burger King
  - The test marketting of their Veggie Burger has been expanded to
    about 30 NY state locations. The Watkins Glen location was the first
    place they sold it. Call Burger King's "customer comment hotline" at
    1-800-YES-1-800 and ask to have it made available in your area.
  - At this moment all Burger Kings sell a vegetarian Whopper, which is
    just a regular Whopper with the meat pattie removed. Beware, the bun
    may contain lard, so ask at the restaurant you are at before
    ordering. Vegans hold the cheese and mayo. This whopper is not on
    the menu, but they have a button for it on their cash registers.
  - Vegan items: Mushroom topping, Barbecue Dipping sauce, French Fries,
    Tater Tenders, Side Salad, Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar
    Dressing, Newman's Own Reduced Calorie Light Italian Dressing.

  Domino's Pizza
  - Their pizza crust still contains animal products. The sauce is ok.
  - Domino's has 4 pizza crust recipes which individual stores can
    choose from. Only one of them is vegan.

  Hardee's
  - Vegan items: Salad, French fries.

  KFC
  - Vegan items: Corn on the cob (order without butter), French fries.

  Little Caesars
  - Vegan items: Pizza crust & sauce, Crazy Bread (order without
    cheese), Crazy Sauce, Veggie Sandwich (order without cheese), Tossed
    Salad, Greek Salad (order without cheese), Italian dressing, Greek
    dressing, Lite Italian dressing.

  Long John Silver's
  - Vegan items: Con Cobbette (order without butter) Salad, Lite Italian
    Dressing.

  McDonald's
  - They are testing two "non-meat" entrees, including pasta with a
    meatless marinara sauce.
  - McDonalds in Canada fries their french fries in 100% vegetable oil,
    _BUT_ they pre-fry them in beef-tallow. The North American Vegan
    Society has told us that the fries are vegan in the US, but perhaps
    the pre-frying process was overlooked. Can someone check to see if
    McDonalds in the US pre-fries their french fries in non-vegetable
    oil.
  - Vegan items: French fries, Barbeque Sauce, Sweet and Sour Sauce,
    Lite Vinaigrette, Hotcake Syrup, Hash Browns, Grape Jam, Strawberry
    Jam, Cheerios, Wheaties, Strawberry Topping, Chocolate Flavored
    Syrup, Strawberry Flavored Syrup, Vanilla Flavored Syrup
  - Their vegetarian pizza contains a derivative of hair and the sauce
    contains cheese.

  Taco Bell
  - They now offer a '7 Layer Burrito' which contains beans, rice,
    cheese, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes. The sour
    cream contains gelatin, and the guacamole contains sour cream,
    so they are both not vegetarian. The cheese contains rennet. The
|   ingredients used for the rice vary from store to store, so you'll
|   have to ask at each store separately as to if there are any animal
|   products used.
  - The soft burrito tortillas are not vegan, they contain non-fat dry
    milk. The hard corn tortillas however are vegan, as are their
    refried beans.
  - They don't use lard, tropical oils, MSG, sulfites, yellow dye #3 in
    any products.
  - Vegan items: Bean Taco (order without cheese, lettuce and tomato
    can be added as an option), Nachos (order without cheese), Pintos
    'n Cheese with Red Sauce (order without cheese), Cinamon Twists.
| - Also vegan?: Tostadas minus the cheese.
  - They have a "no meat" button on their cash registers which can be
    applied to any menu item.
  - Their phone number is 1-800-TACO-BELL. (Works in Canada too.)

  Taco Time
  - Has a company policy of using vegetarian refried beans, but some
    franchisees use beans with lard, so you still need to ask at each
    outlet.

| TGI Friday's
| - 'A nightmare for vegetarians.'
| - 'The fetuccini alfredo is very heavy and greasy.'
| - 'I usually order the steamed vegetable plate with the potato plain
|   and the tomato without the cheese.'
| - The cream of broccoli soup is made with chicken stock.

  Pizza Hut
  - Items to avoid: Pan Crust contains whey, Pizza sauce contains cheese
    flavor and parmesan.
  - Vegan items: Thin N Crispy Crust, Hand Tossed Crust. The only vegan
    option: Thin N Crispy or Hand-Tossed Crust with vegetables, no sauce
    or cheese.

  Wendy's
  - Apparently Wendy's is test marketing a 'Veggie Burger'. It is
    available at least at one location in Wisconsin, but it's not listed
    on the menu, so you'll have to ask for it and see if they have it.
    If anyone gets any more info on this, please let me know.
  - They have removed the lard from their refried beans, and the meat
    flavor from their pasta sauce.
  - Vegan items: French Fries, Plain (baked) Potato, Broccoli & Potato
    (order without cheese).
  - Vegan salad bar items: picante sauce, taco chips or shells, refried
    beans, Sanish rice, Pasta Medley, Rotini Three Bean Salad, Three
    Bean Salad, breadsticks, chowmein noodles, garbanzo beans, green
    peas, jalapeno peeppers, black olives, peaches, pineapple, Golden
    Italian or Reduced Calorie Italian Dressing, oil and vinegar.
