Eating Out Tip: Review the menu in advance and see if anything is obviously vegan. If you're just not sure, call ahead and ask. Menus can change fairly regularly, so watch out for that. Until you are familiar with a restaurant, if they do not label a food item as vegan on the menu, even if the item seems vegetarian, ask anyway. For example, refried beans can be cooked in lard, pasta noodles can be made from eggs, rice can be cooked in chicken broth, and dairy can lurk in just about anything.
