The 21st Amendment Tavern is one of the most beautiful renovations to hit the Shelby Park/Merriwether/Germantown district of late. One of the may things I love about 21st Amendment Tavern is that it's in easy walking distance of my home. Some of you might remember this as the space formerly known as the Cure. This...

Colorful Plates at Pho Cafe on Bardstown
We were lunching at Pho Cafe on Bardstown, a cafe I've been jonesing to try since it opened. "Just make sure everything is vegetarian," I told our server, to end the discussion on whether "fish sauce" contains fish. Pho Cafe is one of the newer restaurants in what I consider one of the foodie centers... Continue Reading →
Vegetarian at Anoosh Bistro
"I've made Madiera sauce," the carnivore said. "When I was cooking in Atlantic City." "You've never made it for me!" I whined. He then described a sauce so replete in animal fat, I blacked out somewhere between the butter and bacon. The Madiera sauce at Anoosh Bistro was absolutely delicious without being that heavy or...

Veggies worth a fight at Uptown cafe
"Are you ready for me to take your plate," the waiter asked when I had three bites of vegetables left. "Dude, live to see another day! You never take a woman's food away from her!" exclaimed the carnivore. Okay, I wouldn't actually kill anyone over vegetables. But the vegetables at Uptown Cafe were so good,... Continue Reading →
Spotlight on Havana Rumba’s Coca vegetariana
Maybe it was always on the menu and we somehow overlooked it. But we recently ate the coca vegetariana at Havannah Rumba, and it would be criminal not to hire a town crier to tell y'all vegetarians about it. Oh, wait, I can't afford a town crier. This blog will have to do. This confection... Continue Reading →

Among other things, I am writing a book about going solar. I am having trouble finding the time to keep this site up to date. But I... Continue Reading →

A marriage built on cheese: Dinner at Volare
When the carnivore says, "Let's get dressed up and go to Volare," I know it's going to be a magical dinner. The food, the wine list, the service. All, always five stars. The only thing that really matches a dinner at Volare is another dinner at Volare. I can't really recommend Volare for vegans. But... Continue Reading →
Mayan Cafe: A safe place to flirt with vegetarianism
"I judge a restaurant by its guacamole, don't you?" the carnivore said to me, as we were waiting for our appetizers. Well, yes, among other things. The decor at Mayan Cafe, on Market Street next door to Taj, is understated and elegant, the wall art intriguing, the menu diverse, and everything's from a local farm.... Continue Reading →
Vegetarian at Jack Fry’s? Why not?
I've lived in Kentucky over six years without ever going to Jack Fry's even though it's within walking distance of my house. I think I was intimidated. By Jack Fry's reputation, the understated store front, the lack of advertising, all bespeaking a restaurant that has such a well established clientele, it will never need new... Continue Reading →
