Going Out?

Today I went to an Austin local 'fast food' joint. It's called Terra Burger. (www.terraburgeraustin.com) Everything is organic. I realize there is a much bigger argument raging today that just because we're eating organic does not mean it's good for the environment and therefore us in the process. (The other side is locally grown organic is what we need to eat, not organic produce trucked in from overseas or other states) I thought it was neat because it gives an option from a yucky lardfest, corrupt money hungry at all cost including our children, sugar-high fast food place.

I had a vegan burger which was 7 points with vegan mayo which was 1 point. It was all right-not terrific. I think there buns are too big and not yummy enough. I had a turkey burger there last week which was 12 points and was soooo mad at myself because when I compared it to the beef burger it was the same amount of points and I could of had that! They offer sweet potato fries (regular=6 points)which I think is a neat change from the same ol' french fries but were soggy and not crispy when I got home. I also had a diet lime cola which was made from stevia. A little sweet for me but not bad every now and then. I also had organic mint chip ice cream for dessert which was nice and was 5 points. This won't be a place I go too often since it's pricey. What I think was the best about them was right at the drive through speaker I asked about their nutritional info and she walked me through everything I was buying. I wish all restaurants were like that!!!

Any suggestions on delicious different foods that you get when you're out (from anywhere!)? If you can attempt to throw in the calories, fat and fiber...even ballpark it. That'd be great!
