I should know. I've been both. But if you're vegetarian, you can still eat at a vegan restaurant. Not so the other way around. Besides, vegan cuisine is more thoughtful than regular cuisine. Because it doesn't lean on the 'crutches' of meat and dairy, its practitioners have to find more creative ways of putting together tasty/appetizing dishes.

Soy is just a bean. Wheat and pea protein come from...well...wheat and peas.

It's a big plus that they make everything themselves (i.e. no processed foods, preservatives, etc). I'm sure the food will be delicious, and I hope the restaurant will be a hit. Ever since VG Burger closed, Boulder hasn't had a decent, dedicated vegan restaurant (which seems odd to me, considering how many people in this town are vegetarians). It's like any business: if the people don't turn out to support it, then it will go down. So, don't just wish them luck; actually go there to eat a meal now and again!

It's about time Boulder got something truly different. I hope Boulder's vegetarian and non-vegetarian communities support it like crazy. Good food is good food, period.

Slowly but surely, everything in Boulder is changing. I have so many fond memories of going to the 30th Street McDonald's as a child. When did they stop using the train for birthday parties? That was an awesome place to go as a kid! For it to be donated to the city, as if it were some museum piece? The life has literally been sucked out of so much in this town. The whole 're-imagining' of the Crossroads complex as 29th Street really failed in my book. I'm saddened to see these places being razed as if they mean nothing. Listen up, Boulder: what you call progress is messing with people's memories! Sat, 4 Feb 2012 05:51:11 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/boulder-county-news/ci_19890019#IDComment283436400
