Synopsis

The Artichoke Trail is the ultimate tool for mobile vegetarians, vegans, vegetarian wannabes, and travelers looking for a good, healthy meal. Although it celebrates the pleasures of vegetarian dining throughout the United States, it’s not just a guide to restaurants, natural foods stores and farmers’ markets. Over 1,000 restaurants are described, with hundreds featured in great detail and reviewed using the unique Artichoke Trail rating system. Food stores and markets serving the vegetarian community are also listed, as well as facts and interesting tidbits that health-minded individuals will appreciate. A handy glossary of vegetarian-related food terms and dishes is included, along with helpful Web sites and other resources such as vegetarian organizations.

The author has included a wide range of restaurants, stores and markets catering to vegans, vegetarians, or those who simply appreciate meatless cooking. You’ll find everything from hamburger joints with a superb garden burger option to gourmet raw foods restaurants that adhere to strict vegan standards. Special consideration is given to budget travelers, and all listings have an eye toward value. Maps show the location of featured restaurants in each state, and reviews give mouth-watering descriptions of tasty vegetarian dishes that even confirmed meat-eaters will enjoy.

About this title

About the Author:

Jim Frost was born and raised in a meat-and-potatoes suburb of Dallas, Texas. A college course in world geography led him to the conclusion that a plant-based diet would become a global necessity in the years to come. Although he is not a full-fledged vegetarian, Jim’s love of innovative, organic cooking led him to hit the road in search of quality meatless cuisine. These discoveries are detailed in his new guide, "The Artichoke Trail: A Guide to Vegetarian Restaurants, Organic Food Stores & Farmers’ Markets in the US." Jim lives in San Francisco.
