My boyfriend is a big carnivore. He's being patient about going to vegetarian restaurants with me, but patience can only go so far. And vegetarian restaurants with their surfeit of soy products, and seitan (which is wheat gluten -- a big no-no!) are not necessarily always going to be the best for fibroid-shrinkers, I have discovered. Also, after a month with no meat, I was just dying to have some, and figured that my body was telling me something.
So we went to a restaurant that features hormone-free meats, including those from Niman Ranch. Niman Ranch raises beef, pork, and lamb: http://www.nimanranch.com/control/main/
As a fibroid fighter, it's best to avoid meat as much as possible, but if you are going to have meat it MUST be hormone-free, because those hormones are what will make your fibroids grow.
We ate at Tanglewood Restaurant in San Jose, http://www.tanglewood.com/. Mmm, that lamb shank hit the spot and will last me for a long time till I will want meat again I think.
You can find a list of all the restaurants that use Niman Ranch products here: http://www.nimanranch.com/control/category/~category_id=Restaurants;jsessionid=1FBA19CB21B43DB3C1229CB580FB52C9.nrpus1
This is a good way to find restaurants that are likely to have fibroid-friendly food. Yes these restaurants are mostly in California. If anyone knows of other horomone-free producers and a list of restaurants they supply to, please leave a comment!

Why is seitan/wheat gluten a big no-no?
It may not be as big a no-no as I thought at the time, but can be problematic for people who are sensitive to gluten as it's essentially really concentrated gluten.
