What do you order when eating at a restaurant?

I travel a lot!. When I had my first renal transplant my doc said - if the place looks dicey, eat fried food because the fryer will kill nasty bacteria. In a pinch that’s what I did for years until I developed gluten intolerance. First transplant 1987, second 2000. I eat what I want - I don’t eat anything unless I really want that food - so I’ve stayed slim. I eat ton’s of veggies and fruit, brown rice etc. and mostly organic - especially when I eat chicken etc. Good luck!

@lizzy102, Those dicey restaurants can be found everywhere, local and when traveling. Your doctor presented an unusual piece of advice! I'm glad that worked for you, but after my transplant, I lost any desire for the taste fried food.
I have found that many restaurants, especially independent ones, will prepare foods with special diet in mind. My husband and I go during the uncrowded hours.
When going to an unfamiliar or new restaurant, I check the menu online or at the door before entering. Me and my husband have also walked out of restaurants when we do not think are practicing food safety of cleanliness.

What kinds of veggies and fruits can you get locally? Do you have a special chicken recipe that you would like to share?
