Don't need buns. I HAVE PORTABELLO MUSHROOM CAPS!
cook em up in bacon grease & go to town
I usually special order burgers. Carls Jr & Red Robin are great about lettuce wrapping![]()
If I'm at a BBQ or some such I just make my burger sans bun (not a fan of the dog) and to hell with the comments. Usually I get the *what about the fiber* question and point to my lettuce and onions and give them the *what? are you stupid?* look.
If I'm eating out I don't usually bother to specialize a hamburger order. I just take it off the bun before I eat it.
*shrUg*
One of these days I'm going to call up Papa John's and order a large pizza with everything, hold the crust. Just to see what they do.

I don't eat the bun and don't really care about the comments either. I too do the "duh" face when pointing to my big salad if someone asks about fiber. We had a big 4th of July parade and bfast picnic this morning and the fare was all sorts of muffins, melons and grapes. I didn't have anything and that got lots of looks, but no questions except for the "I guess you can't eat anything here" from my family.
I too was at a BBQ yesterday. Skipped on the bread buns and potatoes in butter. Had stacks of salad and just had the meat with that. I did have a glass of cold coke cola (non diet), it was really nice. had raspberries and strawberries for dessert))
Lol, when people question me on why I'm bunless, I smile and say, "I think I'm gluten intolerant. Trust me, you don't want to sit next to me if I eat wheat!" So far, no one's tried to encourage me to eat the buns, anyway. Go figure.
Motherhood: When changing from pj pants to yoga pants qualifies as 'getting dressed'.
I'm too new to this to have much experience, but the one BBQ I went to Ihad to say "no bun" three times. Didn't explain myself.

"We have all the food groups- meat and chocolate".
I find that if you don't make a big deal out of it, nobody else does. Generally, a low-key 'no thank you' does it, and if anyone asks for an explanation a "I just don't feel like XYZ" does the trick. When we had an Italian cook-out team building at work, I quietly made the egg-whites from the egg-yolk dessert I was charged with making and made an omlette with mushrooms and tomatoe, since the menue was pizza and pasta.
