Vegetarians didn’t have it all that easy in years past if they wanted to enjoy a meal away from home. “Twenty years ago, the only foods you could get that were vegetarian were salads or pizza,“ said Tony Sappal. “People would look at you weird. ‘Vegetarian? How do you survive?‘“ Sappal knows this because he was a vegetarian back then, and, after a period of eating meat, is back in the vegetarian fold.
