I eat plenty of vegetables. That does not make me any sort of hyphenated vegetarian. The term implies the limitations and boundaries of ones diet. To say that you are a vegetarian who eats meat is not a hyphenization; it's an outright conflict.
Isn't it easier to just say, for example, you don't eat beef - - rather than saying you eat chicken and fish and vegetation and dairy and fruits and legumes?
Sorry about the ongoing tangent that has little to do with Anaheim restaurants .... but these vegetarianism qualifiers that refute vegetarianism are pet peeves. Where's that Cricket Rant Thread??

Fine, then.
Next time I'm invited to dinner I'll be sure to tell you that I don't eat beef or ham or pork chops or bacon or chicken or goose or duck or turkey or buffalo or squirrel or rabbit or lamb or veal or sausage or liver or tripe.
OR I could tell you what I do eat. Four words, or one hyphenate. Eggs, dairy, fish, vegetables. Ova-lacto-pesca-vegetarian. It doesn't imply that I'm vegetarian. It tells you what I ****ing eat.
