18. Maybe purchase food and make your own- it's a lot cheaper

And healthier most of the time. Then you can just go there for a beverage and dessert etc.
I remember going to a road place on a trip that had huge sculptures of cows everywhere etc. I can't remember the name of it now, that was years ago. My bf at the time was semi vegetarian.

I often bring some food of my own if I am going to an event etc., which is rare now, due to my dietary restrictions. I haven't been to a real restaurant for a long time, even since before the pandemic. I remember eating at a dinner held for us by a friend, he assured me the gazpacho he made had very low carbs, but my bg spiked a lot, so I think not. It is always hard to tell for sure with everything I have to deal with.
