A look at better food by Brother Tracy Gibson
They don’t offer much for home-made desserts, but Larry’s
Steaks has several items on their menu that will help the person eating out
find something healthier to munch on.
1] You can just order a Vegetarian Pizza with a little
cheese; or ask specifically for the kinds of toppings you want such as Green
Peppers; Mushrooms; Onions; Broccoli; Spinach and / or Black Olives.
2] Chicken Cutlet Stromboli ; Grilled Chicken Stromboli;
Vegetarian Pizza by the slice [$3.00]
[More prices will be added later].
3] Sweet Potato fries $3.25
4] Onion Rings $3.75
(Treat yourself to three & four, rings, not orders of rings)…
5] Gyros – Lamb or Chicken.
6] From the Catering menu (They serve as an official caterer
for the Philadelphia 76ers) – Green Salad with Grilled Chicken [Serves 8 to 10
people]. You can get Russian or Oil & Vinegar dressing. $35.00.
7] Salads include: Garden Salad or a Turkey Salad with
Italian, Honey Mustard or Russian Dressing.
8] [Just be bold & order a Vegetarian Pizza. It does not
mean you are going to be a vegetarian and never eat meat again!!!]

9A] Tuna with vegetables like peppers, onions, tomatoes, and black olives [no cheese]

your waistline will thank you…..]

chicken. add vegetables.
11] Vegetarian White Pizza: (With little cheese).
12] Turkey Breast Panini; Fat Veggie Panini; 10.00 Vegetarian Pizza.
13] Master Card; Discover; Am Ex; & Visa accepted.
14] They don’t carry Fiji water {which as far as I’m concerned
is the best kind} , but they do have Spring Water, which is recommended as
opposed to sodas and milk shakes.
15] There are many other items on the menu, but we were
interested in items that burn up faster as calories and are not so
fattening. Any one trained a bit (even
through self-training) can go through a menu and find more healthy items, if
they are so inclined. The people at Larry’s Steaks were very friendly about my
questions once I explained I was doing an article for my blog. http://thepoliticsofReal.blogspot.com
(I was hoping they offered me a free meal, which they did
not—better that Way, I don’t want them to sway me in any Way in what I wrote.).
