Veggie options near Armadillocon
By request. I'm sure I've forgotten or overlooked some good places so feel free to add them in comments. I've concentrated on places near the con or worth a short drive. I'm not vegan but I have noted where places seem particularly good at labeling their stuff, which I always appreciate.
