The Subtle Vegetarian

One of my first posts on this blog applauded TGI Friday’s for not only adding a vegetarian entree but naming it something subtle: The Tuscan Portobello Melt was a nice grilled cheese sandwich with mushrooms and came with a vegetarian red pepper soup. It was really nice to have an option at a mainstream restaurant other than “the chicken pasta without the chicken”.

But alas, the Tuscan is no more. TGI Friday’s has removed it from the menu, and the restaurant I found myself at this week couldn’t make it anymore. There are no vegetarian items on the TGI Friday’s menu any longer.

I am so frustrated with this. I’m not picky – I just want one option. Would that kill them? Instead I had to pay $13 for a mediocre bowl of Bruschetta Pasta without the chicken. No more Friday’s for me!
