Cafe to debut with 'raw' cuisine

 

June 2, 2008

 

Central Florida is about to get its first big taste of raw food. Plans

are in the works for a Winter Park restaurant called Cafe 118, which

will specialize in " raw " cuisine. For those unfamiliar with the

concept, a " raw foods " restaurant typically serves dishes prepared

using only uncooked vegetables, fruits, nuts and other non-animal-

based ingredients. In other words, don't count on getting a raw steak.

Nothing is pasteurized or heated above 118 degrees, the temperature at

which nutrients start to be lost, according to raw-food enthusiasts.

Matthew Kenney, who is behind the Winter Park restaurant and was the

co-creator of a popular New York City raw restaurant called Pure Food

and Wine, said he expects his eatery to open sometime in early July.
