How to get a good vegan meal at restaurants

This article shares some nice thoughts on how to be confident and get a good vegan meal at restaurants. We typically bring up that we're vegan when ordering drinks, so they have time to check with the kitchen without having to go back and forth at ordering time. We like to say: "We're both vegan, what do you recommend?" We try to make them feel at ease, and if they jump to salad or look nervous, we assure them that they can check with the chef and that we're in no hurry.

What is your best advice or strategy when dining out?
