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

Thanks to the Toronto Vegetarian Association for 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.

You may also want to refer to the Fast Food Restaurants section at the
start of the USA listings for an idea of what to expect at the places
which are not listed below.

Baskin Robbins
- The Ices are vegan and they're excellent. The sugar cones, plain
cones, and waffle cones are also all vegan.

Burger King
- At this moment Burger King is selling 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 mayo. This whopper is not on the menu, but
they have a button for it on their cash registers.
- French fries are vegan. However the onion rings may be fried
alongside sausage patties.

Dairy Queen (Brazier)
- French fries are ok. Buns contain animal fat.

Harvey's
- You can get a burger without the meat pattie, but with all the
works, for $0.85. This is the newly set official price. This
'burger' is not on the menu, but they have a button for it on their
cash registers. (This button is labelled 'bun'. Some employees may
not know about it.) If these people need to be 'reminded' that such
an offering exists, tell them to look at memorandum (or whatever)
H13, dated February 19, 1992. It clearly states that such a burger
is to be made available for $0.85.
- All frying is done in 100% vegetable oil.

KFC
- French fries are fried in the own vats in 100% vegetable oil.
- The breads, dressings, and desserts are vegetarian (but not vegan).
- Vegetarian soups are offered seasonally. Check ingredients.
- They are getting ready to launch a vegetarian battered product.
- Head office gets a 10 out of 10 for their interest in vegetarians.
They are recognizing us a growing consumer force.

McDonalds
- Stay away from the french fries and hash browns. They are pre-fried
in beef tallow before they reach the store where they are refried in
vegetable oil.
- Their vegetarian pizza contains a derivative of hair and the sauce
contains cheese.
- The head office will send you a complete guide to their products if
you call. (416) 443-1000.

Mr. Submarine
- Buns are made with 100% vegetable oil. Salad dressings may contain
hidden animal products. The ingredients list is available at all
stores.

Olive Garden
- Soups contain animal stock. Italian dressing contains cheese. Pasta
is made with eggs.

Subway
- Stay away. They don't seem to want to answer our questions.

Swiss Chalet
- French fries are fried in beef tallow. Soups contain animal stock.
Pie crust contains lard. Salad dressings may contain bacon and/or
anchovies.
- Gravy is vegetarian.

Taco Bell
- The soft burrito tortillas are not vegan, they contain non-fat dry
milk. The corn tortillas however are vegan, as are their refried
beans.
- They don't use lard, tropical oils, MSG, sulfites, yellow dye #3.
- 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.
