Mission Statement - Meatless Mondays

Meatless Mondays is much more than a discount offer on Mondays. We have accepted the challenge to produce a vegetarian alternative that is flavorful and widely varied. Dining out is an extreme challenge to anyone seeking vegetarian food. Most restaurants fail to address the needs of vegetarians much less their desires. It is a matter of choice and people must be allowed the freedom of choice. We wish to offer something for everyone regardless of their personal dietary choices. Above all we have tried to offer choices to everyone dining in our restaurant. The variety of our menus is proof positive that we intend to offer our customers CHOICES. The choice of a diet is a very personal thing and we are not here to change anyone.

We intend to always support the Freedom of Choice for everyone, and to help provide a variety of choices in our menus to that end. The Vegetarian community has placed their trust in us by their patronage and we have supported them in return by adhering to careful preparation to avoid any contact with non-vegetarian ingredients. We have been trusted to prepare food for our regular vegetarian and vegan customers, their families and friends and have even catered events for Vegetarian activist groups such as UARC (Utah Animal Rights Coalition) and PETA.

We have had a small number of narrow minded people criticize our choice to cater to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. We could probably survive without our vegetarian customers but we certainly could not economically exist without our non-vegetarians. We think it is idiotic to exclude or ignore any customer. There is an extremely small number who think differently and for those whose very existence is threatened by people with different diets, what can I say but GET A LIFE!!.

Meatless Mondays has been around for more than SIX years. In that time we have noticed that a number of our regular customers have changed their dining habits. Due to the extreme discount for vegetarian dishes on Meatless Mondays, many have chosen to order vegetarian on Mondays. The comments are always favorable ranging from "Not bad" to "You know I didn't miss the meat". Economics is a very powerful for behavior modification. Some have made Monday a regular event and even if not dining at Bangkok Thai have chosen to make it meatless.

Let's see, 52 / 365 = 14.25, or 14.25% less meat or animal products consumed. That couldn't hurt, could it? Hmmm... healthier and more earth-friendly living one day at a time.
