Unfortunately, it's slim pickings at most barbecue restaurants when it comes to vegetarian entrees. Many folks want to go beyond building a meal with sides.
But hold out hope and check out this list of great meatless entrees that give vegetarians a taste of barbecue. If there's any missing, feel free to list them in the comments. Listed alphabetically.
