I have a suggestion. Lets have some threads about experiences we have had with local restaraunts, or ones we know to be WLS friendly, whether they mean to or not.
Open a new topic for each city, so they can be referenced easily. And for instance, dont list next-to-big-city separately, so we can keep them local.
Vacation spots, too!
Truck drivers chime in too, someone create one for on the road.
In Houston my top choice at this time Jason's Deli. When I go with a friend they work with me, every time. I am most often charged nothing if a friend is ordering if I goto the salad bar and get an egg or hummus, etc. The black currant tea is good enough to not eat at all and just have tea (which you can't do both anyway, lol).
Cafe Lili is a good restaraunt. It is family owned my a Lebanese family (Maronite Christian). disclaimer: Hubby is friends with the owner.
the three veggie plate and one srving of the shwarma with egg is easily split, we did it before surgery too.
Tenshi and another disclaimer we know the owner Nina. Let her know what is up and she will work with you.
Central Market - just go and you will see what I mean. If you go on a saturday you could stuff yourself on samples, but you could also go with a friend or date and get a plate from the deli side (delish Soups too) and share.
I am married to a foodie so I could literally go on and on...but I want other people to contribute too.
The Blue Nile - sorry, lol = save this one for when ur tummy can handle it. It is Ethiopian. Get the special. it is seved as a communal plate so make sure ur hands are clean, lol.
