GRUB ON-THE-GO

 
I've put my Paleo practice to the test
quite a few times already at multiple restaurants.
I'm sure most of you have either heard of
or visited these chains before : ) 
 
My experience was a lot easier than I had presumed!
 
When looking at the menu (BEFORE HAND: Always look at the menu before you decide/arrive to prepare yourself and have options already laid out), I knew I would not be able to order any type of "wrap" "burrito/taco" "crepe" "pancake" "BBQ" ...you get the point. My acquired plan of action became looking at the "ENTREE PLATE" sections along with side options and possible substitutes.
 
TAKE A LOOK!
