Work Meeting at a Non-Kosher Restaurant – Looking for Ideas

Hi Everyone,

I have a work meeting at a non-kosher restaurant coming up. I’m planning on bringing a sandwich and salad or some similar meal that matches the restaurants menu. For those of you in that have multiple meetings over coffee or lunch how have you handled the situation?

This is my first time, I’m planning on just bringing my lunch and clarifying with the wait-staff and people joining me that I eat a particular diet as part of my religion. I’m not expecting any issues. When I travel for work and the hotels/restaurants have kosher approved meals no one says anything while I’m opening up the multiple plastic layers and breaking all the seals for my food.

I’m mostly sharing this story to connect with others that have done this and not feel so alone.
