Are there vegetarian dishes in southern menu in Chattanooga, Savannah or Charleston?!
Answers: I am going on a trip to Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee next month. I am interested in trying out southern food. I am a vegetarian though. Do you know if there are any places that serve vegetarian dishes in Chattanooga, Savannah and Charleston, southern style?
Fried Okra (many restaurants are switching to vegatble oils_, beans of any varity, we love our greens-kale, collards, mustard. Sweet potato pie-there are many varieties(They may contain eggs) and lots of sauces and gravies to go over them. Also the whole country is accomadating vegetarians because there are many health benefits to that type of diet. If milk is ok Bleu Cheese from Clemson.
Hmm I grew up in Savannah, Soul Food, or southern food, well I would just eat the veggies, they have.. Its like comparing the south to CA, not going to happen. Just something to remember, the south is still catching up, they hold on to allot of traditions down there. I am not saying there is not a place, but it will be hard to find.
I am a vegetarian going to school in Memphis...have only been here a few months and have learned the difficulties of being a vegetarian in the south. They love thier BBQ and when the veggies are around the butter is included :) Try googling the city you are in and vegetarian restaurants, or just vegetarian. Thought the veghead communities are small in these areas they exist and try to help each other and visitors through thier websites.
