Absolutely phenomenal 6 course tasting menu from Mexique. They graciously created a vegetarian version for us (on the fly) and it did not disappoint. One of the best meals I've ever had. ********* http://mexiquechiago.com

**** Tanoshii a truly special sushi experience for vegetarians. Skip the menu and let them create something amazing for you. And be sure to ask for the vegetarian fish and chips (also not on the menu).

**** if you're wondering if the south is vegetarian friendly, you can wonder no more in Raleigh, NC. In my short trip I had the chance to hit up two incredible spots - Joule, a cafe meets fine dining establishment + Bida Manda, a beautifully designed Loatian restaurant. All I can say is wow. Both offered a wide variety of options and both took great care in their creations. I included a shot of the bar at Bida Manda because it was so cool, although Joule certainly had its share of great design. Raleigh is also a pretty cool town so if you're looking for an excuse to get out for a long weekend, I'd definitely recommend it.

**** the most innovative + delicious vegetarian sushi I’ve ever had at Tanoshii. Seriously just trust the chef, don’t order off the menu. Sushi Mike is an artist. MUST have.

Burrata….enough said. Go now. Spacca Napoli in Ravenswood.

**** arguably some of the most innovative and delicious tapas I’ve ever had - at Mercat a la planxa, in The Blackstone hotel. Seen are the patatas bravas, a crispy fried mashed potato with spicy paprika aioli. Also do not miss their amazing cocktails - the matador is a gin base with averna, beets, lime, thyme + gingerale. Like nothing you’ve ever had.

**** Happy Cinco de Mayo! Veggie enchiladas w/ black beans + rice from Tarascas. Best with the poblano sauce + a margarita!

**** Beretta in San Francisco - arguably one of the best meals I've ever had and this potato, rosemary, radicchio pizza was sadly the only photo I shot. Do not miss the walnut bread, burrata and mushroom with honey truffle oil - reason enough to get on a flight if you don't live nearby. http://berettasf.com

**** Longman & Eagle - special treats from the exclusive vegetarian menu, to the English pea risotto with a smoked one hour egg, fiddleheads, morel mushrooms and asparagus. Wow. Don't miss the pretzel and Welsh rarebit either.

**** Santa Fe black bean cakes + poached eggs with roasted salsa from Tweet. Never disappoints.
