On Fridays we often walk downtown after dinner for Fridays after Five but tonight we decided to skip cooking at home and use a coupon I found for buy one get one free burritos at Atomic Burrito. I guess it's been a while since we've been there since we haven't written about it yet. It's mostly a fairly typical burrito joint, but they make the burritos to order so that means they can be somewhat vegan-friendly. Plus it's cool that they offer whole wheat tortillas and brown rice. They even had a tofu and veggie stir-fry as one of the veg. options today. And better yet I heard the V word without any prompting.
Me: "Is there sour cream in the guac?"
Dude behind counter: "No, it's totally vegan."
They got an extra buck in the tip jar for that one ;-)

Happy Weekend, Geraldine
That is AWESOME! I love that they needed no prompting with the vegan sitch. I would love to tip someone for that... if only they'd do the same thing when i order... oh the fantasy of that!!!
Indeed. Unfortunately it's rare around here to have restaurants know what "vegan" means...
Sour cream in guac? my gauc would never have that. That doesn't even compute to me.. wweeiiirrdd
I didn't know that

I know what you mean but I've seen it done so I always ask.
I've also seen yogurt in guacamole, which means it's not 'real' guacamole... a lot of restaurants think of guacamole more as 'avocado dip' and take liberties with their ingredients-I'm paranoid and think this is to save money on fresh avocados!
Cheers for random appearance of the word 'vegan'!!

I haven't heard of yogurt in guac but it makes sense - I think you're right about the 'avocado dip' thing...
hooray ! even my health food store makes guac with sour cream. ugh !
your post makes me hopeful !
I guess it's pretty common. You'd think the avocado would be creamy enough.
