We vegetarians don't need to give up on some classics from the meat eating days. For example, burgers. As an opportunity, do not forget the ever popular vegetable and bean burgers. I assume part of their reputation is because they are a quick strategy to feed a guest who's a vegetarian if you are not sure what to serve.
