Dakota's Steakhouse





So tonight I took on the ultimate vegetarian tackle... going to a steakhouse. Dakota's is not a place I had ever heard of before, but it is a chain that is growing in the northern section of southern California. Even though this specific steakhouse has yet to reach Orange County, in my opinion all steak houses are the same and so even if you go to a larger chain such as Outback or Wood Ranch, the choices will be similar. One thing I always get at a steakhouse is a salad. It seems like a guarantee that places like this always have amazing salads. At Dakota's I got the Glazed Pecan Pear Salad, which I enjoyed quite a lot. If a salad is enough for you, then you are set!
If you want more than that, or you don't like salad, you can always have fun with the sides!
Steakhouse's have fantastic sides. You can get mashed potato's, onion rings, nicely cooked vegetables,cole slaw, baked beans, etc. And of course, the ultimate side that you get for free...rolls. Most places serve rolls before the meal, and they are always really warm and good. At many places there is some vegetarian meal that you can get. At Dakota's they had a pasta option that was probably quite tasty. I have more fun making a meal out out of the sides however, so if you are vegetarian and go to a steakhouse, I recommend you do that! I hope this was somewhat helpful! Next time I will be talking about a more vegetarian related place :)

This is a great story about a classic vegetarian dilemma, and I like that you were resourceful enough to have a camera handy. I look forward to reading more.
