I hate when prices are the same even when you don't get meat so I usually just don't order those items. I love this place for thinking of this! (Persephone's Kitchen on block island in Rhode Island)

Chick fil a, zaxby’s and Culver’s all discount salads if you order without chicken.

Another top contender is any place that has nachos that start at a base price and then adds money depending on the protein you get 🤣

My dog is named Lala so this caught my eye on that alone.

Mmm that sounds so good too

I eat meat but this is way better without the bacon anyway. Bacon ruins at least 75% of the food it touches

As a meat eater trying to learn about doing it less, this is awesome and would really help me.

You have to pay almost 8 dollars extra for NO bacon???

my favorite alfredo pasta in town is vegetarian with a tooooon of veggies; it’s price is reduced compared to their chicken alfredo. All of the prices have slowly increased more and more due to inflation, but for some reason, the veggie alfredo has stayed the same. I get a massive, nearly overfilling to-go box’s worth for $4.50 after tax

This is super common near me. Things tend to have a base price and then charge for the meat but it’s the same idea.
Certainly if a bacon-less version is explicitly on the menu, it would always be cheaper.

I was recently at a place with very limited vegetarian options, but I got a salad and asked the waitress if I was able to make a modification to one of the aps. There was a fried green tomato ap, but it came with a crab cake (?) I asked if I could just get the fried green tomatoes… she was happy to accommodate, and even double checked if I ate egg as there was some in the remoulade that came with it. We were in a rush and splitting a check on the way out before I realized I paid $24 for 3 (small) fried green tomatoes. I will take responsibility for not asking for an adjustment before paying/leaving… but I was pretty miffed.

That sounds delicious! I hate it too when thr price is the same without meat.

I hate that things so so much too, especially as a vegan. Like you’re seriously telling me that I’m cutting out the most expensive ingredients and still have to pay the same amount??

I make little bread muffin thingies stuffed with caramelized onions, caramelized pear or apple, and a smoked cheese (usually gruyere ) it is SO good

Just a side note: Standard pesto isn’t vegetarian because it’s made with parmesan and parmesan is made with rennet. Rennet comes from the lining of cow’s stomach. They do make vegetarian pesto without parmesan, but unless it’s labeled as such, I would always assume it’s not.

YESSSSSS. one of my biggest pet peeves as a vegetarian. how are you going to charge me the same price when you are taking a large portion of the PRICE away. veggies are cheap man!

I’m tired. I got confused and read this as “add $7.95 for no bacon.” The sad part is that given the rising pricing insanity from every direction, I barely questioned the nonsensical audacity.
Anyway, yes! Would love to see this more (or… ever)

I first read this as you being sarcastic because asking for no bacon would be an additional $7.95. Some places are like that lol

I understood it as, if you don’t want bacon it’s 7.95 extra lmao

Facts, facts, and more facts. If i’m not getting meat, I should pay less

I used to work at a tex-mex place, and you would get 50% off a meal right after or during your shift. I straight up asked the manager, “How much for x with the meat?” And they would give me a price. (Tacos with cheese instead of meat were so cheap, they’d let me have them for free.) A good restaurant manager knows how much every item costs the place down to the penny, and they were super reasonable about the price (and the kitchen guys were amazing).

Lol I thought 7.95 was the upcharge for removing the bacon and I was infuriated, thinking it was an anti-vegitarian BS.
