But finding healthy, varied, tasty vegetarian fare can be a different story. And it seems the biggest challenge is locating something good to eat on a business trip. Vacationers who can scope out restaurants at their leisure or dash into a grocery store to pack a picnic from the deli have some advantage over business travelers. Traveling on business can really curtail your options since you may be limited for time, or you might be imprisoned at an airport hotel without even a salad bar in sight. And if you are traveling alone in a strange city, you might not feel comfortable heading out after dark to explore restaurants.
Vegans are likely to have the toughest time of it, of course.
Granted, lacto-ovo vegetarians may find it to be slim pickin's on restaurant and room service menus, but they can almost always find something to eat. For that reason I've focused on vegan options in exploring alternatives for business dining. If you are on your own and can eat where you like or if you can suggest restaurant options to your business colleagues, suggest something ethnic. In larger cities, Indian restaurants are a safe bet for getting something vegan. Request that they not cook their food in ghee or butter.
