Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi all, They just opened a new cafe in my neighborhood (inner sunset), and it's a wonderful little place (www.cafeevolution.com). However, it is very vegan NON friendly. So I talked to one of the workers, and she was all enthusiastic, and said they're trying to get their menu together, and see what's popular etc, and suggestions are very welcome. So I went ahead and wrote to the chef (and part owner, her response is below), and she seems VERY open to the idea, and asked me for suggestions!! Their theme is grilled paninis, as you can see from the website. They put a vegan one together for me, and it was great. So what we're looking for, is suggestions for grilled sandwiches. What I came up with so far are: Roasted eggplants, grilled falafel panini (!!), casein free soy cheese options, seitan... If you have any ideas, (even if they overlap with mine), please write to her directly. They're really in the process of putting a menu together, and it they saw there is a high demand for vegan stuff, they may offer more than one (or a few!) on the menu, and maybe even make them tempting enough for meat eaters This place is GREAT atmosphere wise, it would be awesome if we could contribute to it being great vegan options wise too!!! good luck to us...

I am just beginning to work on the menu again in preparation for our 2nd phase. More vegetarian options are a must, I realize. I will look for vegan options, as well. If you or any vegan friends have a favorite combo to suggest, I’m all ears! Thanks again, for writing- Cathy Bieber cathy Tal [taltalita] Friday, August 20, 2004 4:41 PMCathySubject: menu suggestion? Hi, You have a WONDERFUL new place here, a VERY strong competition to Canvas, personally, I already prefer it. My only suggestion is in the area of vegan selections... I love the grilled panini idea, but I would love to see more vegan choices. Things like roasted eggplants? Seitan? Sundried tomatoes? Basil and tomatoes in a vegan setting? Maybe even introducing or giving the option of soy (casein free) cheese? Anyhow, you're the chef, I am sure you can come up with much better ideas than me I have many vegan friends, always on the lookout for new vegan friendly places, and I would LOVE to bring them here (I am also vegan myself). Looking forward to having MANY yummy grilled paninis at your cafe... Tal New and Improved Mail - Send 10MB messages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
