Well, it was better than expected. That being said the quality of such items is another story, although nothing was inedible (for the most part). Your also mostly stuck with fast food. So I'm know back from Kansas City and almost recovered from the stomach ache from all the overprocessed food!
Here's what I ate in Crown Center, Kansas City (Missouri):
World War I Museum: It's nice just to be able to find vegan food at a museum. They have a lentil sloppy joe. It was pretty good. It came with a salad and pickle. The downside though was I got a bad tomato or two in the salad. They also have prepackaged humus snack packs.
Einstein Bros Bagels: Along with the hotel restaurant which seemed like a terrible deal for vegan food, one of the only restaurants open at breakfast time that I good find. Options include getting a bagel with nothing on it, getting a bagel with hummus (what I personally did), peanut butter and/or jelly, fruit cup (also did this), and bananas. Nice because its cheap, but nothing amazing, just your typical Einsteins.
D'Bronx: Has a hummus sandwich with fries. Both which were okay, but not great. Certainly not the best hummus I have had. But it was okay.
Z-Teca: Actually has a lot of vegan options. It's a make your own burrito place. I had the rice and beans burrito with guacamole and mild salsa (you get to pick 3 items and guacamole counts as two). I had it twice the first time with the whole wheat burrito and the second time with the white burrito. It wasn't good with the wheat burrito, although edible. It was better the second time the white burrito, at least as far as fast food goes. Although I won't call better good. They also have burrito's with vegetables and mushrooms.
Unforked: This is one of those farm to table places (which I don't really understand because all food comes from farms anyway for the most part and have heard really farm to food is just food). I tried the fried avocado taco. Also chips with raspberry sauce. Let's just say that all tasted about as good as it sounds and I don't plan to taste it again.
