How the Cheesecake Factory defied the restaurant industry’s rules of success

There are a few more options when generalizing beyond entrées, but still five of the items listed on that page are salads, with the other four being a side of beets, asparagus, artichoke, or edamame. Which, at double digit Calories, is only as much a reasonable meal for vegans as it is for carnists (that is to say not much of one).

I would think that vegans regularly have salad for dinner, no?

A lot of vegetarians and vegans I know personally hate salad, because it is so often the only option at a restaurant and often an afterthought for those who don’t eat meat or are trying to lose weight.

It also does limit the choice of dressing, for example anything with mayo is off limits.

True, but again at the CCF salads aren't the only option, but about half of them.

No, vegans eat food.

Salad is food, afaik. I eat it frequently.
