Introduction
Living in San Francisco, my girlfriend Kimberly and I are amazed at the excellent quality of vegetarian restaurants in our city. However, we wanted to see what else was out there in this great nation of ours, so we took a trip to our local Barnes & Noble hoping to find a guide to the pleasures of vegetarian dining throughout the United States. We were disappointed that such a travel book did not exist, and thus an idea was formed.
Shortly afterwards, I took on the task of producing a guidebook that would help readers find alternative dining options in the United States. After nearly two years of labor, the book in your hands is that guide. Not just a guide to restaurants, natural foods stores and farmers' markets, the book also contains facts and tidbits that health-minded and environmentally conscious individuals will find appealing.
In an effort to make this book useful to the wide range of people who are vegan, vegetarian, struggling to become vegetarian, or simply appreciate meatless cooking, I have included a wide range of restaurants, stores and markets in this guide. You'll find everything from hamburger joints with a garden burger option to gourmet raw foods restaurants that adhere to strict vegan standards and espouse the consumption of easily digestible uncooked foods. I have also given special consideration to budget travelers trying to stretch their dollars. All listings have an eye toward value.
What Does It Mean To Be A Vegetarian?
The precise and correct usage of the term vegetarian is disputed by various groups within the vegetarian movement. For the purposes of this book, the term vegetarian
refers specifically to those who abstain from consuming the flesh of animals (beef, poultry and seafood), but who might eat various animal by-products such as eggs, milk, cheese, etc. The term vegan
is used here when referring to those who eschew both. Macrobiotic
is used loosely herein to describe an Eastern philosophy of vegetarian dining that emphasizes a balance in diet.
This guide does not delve deeply into the reasons for choosing to become vegetarian. The subject is better explored in a number of well-written books. Current, highly recommended primers include Joanne Stepaniak's The Vegan Sourcebook and Howard F. Lyman's Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth From the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat.
How To Use This Book
The book is organized by region, with states listed alphabetically in each chapter. Cities, major and otherwise, are listed alphabetically under each state - major cities are oftentimes divided into sub-areas as well. Within each subsection you will find a general description of area restaurants and natural foods stores, as well as an assortment of featured restaurants.
Each state listing begins with an overview and describes the area's vegetarian outlook, and tells about regional cuisine that includes vegetarian options. In addition, under both state and city listings, you'll find information regarding common tourist destinations to help you make the most of your travels.
At the end of this guide is a state-by-state listing of farmers' markets. This compilation was gleaned from various Web sites, as well as the National Directory of Farmers Markets, a pamphlet published by the US Department of Agriculture. Unless specifically noted as an organic or vegetable-only event, markets listed may sell beef, poultry or seafood, as well as genetically altered or chemically treated vegetables.
The last chapter contains a glossary of food items and dishes.
