texas roadhouse

[danielle2000]

I went to texas roadhouse with my husbands family for dinner...not my choice...and found out hat they rub their baked potatoes and sweet potatoes in bacon grease...beware !

Ewwww, even if I ate meat I think I would find that unappetizing.

I believe Cracker Barrel also does that.

Nothin' says good eatin' like bacon grease-smeared taters. :no: :spew:

i don't think i can be surprised anymore at foods that have animals in them.

[Animosity]

My Grandfather does that... He also uses bacon grease/lard in his squash. :spew:

Cracker Barrel does it for the 'traditional southern' thing. I don't really know why Texas Roadhouse does... I guess they just want to make sure nothing healthy makes it's way on their menu... That or they don't want vegetarians to feel welcome or omnis to eat anything veg-friendly.

They have this notion that fat=flavor. Potatoes are fat-free so to make them taste good you have to cover them with bacon grease, and pile a giant mound of butter, sour cream and cheese on top.

This is one of my husbands fave resturants, and I cant eat anything there. Not even the potatos now...

I can't get past the peanut shells on the floor. I turned around and walked out the first time I went into one of those places and I wasn't even vegetarian at the time.

That would bother me too.

i think the outback steakhouse here does that. i ate there twice (before i went veg) and was sick both times so i never went back.

Wow, thanks for posting that, I never would have guessed. :(

Baked potatoes are usually the one safe thing you can get at a steakhouse. :wall:

Claimjumper actually has a large variety of vegetarian items on the menu. And lots of those can be made vegan.

[Fritemare]

Yeah, we just had a Texas Roadhouse put in near a shopping center we frequent. I went in there and looked at the menu, and we got up and left. Even the "vegetable" plate isn't safe. I'm not sure what kind of a vegetable bacon grease is from.

I would assume baked would be diffferent, I think she may have been talking about steak fries or something. I would thin ka baked potato would be clean, unless the guy in the back accidentally dropped the raw steak on it after he plated it :dizzy:

Nope, they cover the baked potatoes with bacon grease on purpose :wall:

i mean if you're eating at a steakhouse you shouldn't expect much less, but how hard is it to have a little consideration for other diets. They had gluten free (big fat t-bone - HA!)
