Those of you who eat the Standard American Diet have no idea what it's like to go to a restaurant and only have one possible thing you can order off the menu. <br /><br />Worse, if you go to a restaurant with a group of omnivore friends, everyone will sample your food out of curiosity and you have to either order double or leave hungry because you can't sample any of theirs. <br /><br />What is wrong, by the way, with having a menu with food that's edible by a larger segment of the population, that causes less pollution and animal suffering, and happens to be healthier? Sounds like a win-win situation to me.<br /><br /><i>Slightly off topic, but who misses Viva Herbal Pizzeria?</i><br /><br />Yes, of course; I went there all the time. I believe <a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/cafe-viva/" rel="nofollow">Cafe Viva</a> on the Upper West Side (Broadway near 97th street) is owned by the same people—or at least has a similar menu. I haven't been, but it's definitely a place I'll check out if I'm in the neighborhood.Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-28208845921644638972016-01-21T22:52:14.139-05:002016-01-21T22:52:14.139-05:00Not optimistic about this place.

So the continued horror begins with these pizza abominations from their proposed menu:<br /><br />* Smoked oyster mushroom with walnut cream, green harissa, and lemon.<br /><br />* Confit tomato with smoked almond ricotta, arugula, and chile.<br /><br />* Almond cream with potatoes, capers, shiitake “anchovies”, oregano, and baby kale.<br /><br />And these are just the pizzas!<br /><br />The dude -- the school and restaurant -- is from LA area, Venice, Santa Monica, so what do you expect?<br /><br />But the good news for some adventurous soul and veganite from the nabe, the restaurant is looking for a General Manager and Chef de Cuisine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-61071718041481631762016-01-21T14:39:44.812-05:002016-01-21T14:39:44.812-05:00"Raw food is over-rated." and under cook..."Raw food is over-rated." and under cooked. <br /><br />I got nothing against vegan food, however I don't like "food dogma" which always has the scent of religion on it.

Why in the world anyone still buys the old corporate brainwashing that humans should (and need) to consume the breast milk of another species is insane.

I told him anything on the menu with "tofu" before the protein meant it was a fake version. <br /><br />It is sad how people's obsessive traits have been exploited by capitalist to a point that some live in fear of eating anything that does not follow specific food dogma. We know a diet of veggies over meat and sugar are the best way to go but do we really need to micro manage everything going into our mouths? <br /><br />Faking a food we all grew up with like pizza is the wrong approach because it will always taste like a pizza made by someone that has never had an actual pizza before and was not sure how it was suppose to taste or its ingredients. Vegetables come in a huge variety or taste, textures and properties. Use some imagination and create something new not more tofu hot dogs.
