  • Don't worry about being veggie out there. Initially you may find that a lot of menu's don't have much veggie stuff on them, but they will normally be very willing to adapt an item to make it veggie, you just need to ask. E.g. lots of potato skins come with cheese and bacon but they will do just cheese. I travelled US (inc California) for 4 weeks last year and had no issues with eating veggie, but I didn't eat anywhere to pricey!

    And I agree with the splitting portions cos they are massive. Often me and my friend would order 2 or 3 starters to share rather than main meal each.
