Most restaurants are willing to be flexible. If I don't like the side dish that comes with my meal, I will look at other meals to see what other sides the restaurant serves and ask for a substitute. And I think restaurants are used to people asking for burgers without the bun, because there are so many people doing low carb diets. I've been doing that for years. Of course, I always had a brown with my burger.

It gets easier and easier with practice. I don't even think twice about asking for what I want now.
