A humorless vegan? Why, I've never heard of such a thing!

Pitt- If you're actually serious... way to miss the point! You're taking that quote out of context. If you'd read the entire post (or maybe even the entire sentence), you'd understand that it's not meant as an all-encompasing representation of Austin's taste in food; rather, it's a joke at my own expense--an acknowledgement of my terrible diet, structured around a shoddy attempt at alliteration (if you can think of a vegetable that makes you fat and starts with the letter B, let me know). So your righteous indignation is wholly unnecessary if not outright silly. But of course, the great thing about America is, you're welcome to eat whatever you want, and I'm allowed to do the same. Hooray for freedom!

Quote:Austin is heaven for food lovers. With all the great barbecue, burgers and beer...Aye, as a food lover myself, I concur that Austin is heaven... but those of us who choose a compassionate, environmentally-friendly diet dig Austin for different reasons. Austin's vegetarian restaurants are out of this world, and we've even got a number of vegan bakeries serving everything from vegan cupcakes to vegan soft serve.Beer is nice too.

I can't believe you referenced the bacon placemat. Inconceivable. I bet it would be good with some bologna/olive/pimiento/mayo dip.
