The Vegiterranean in Akron, Ohio

Back in September, we had a chance to hit The Vegiterranean, Chrissie Hynde's vegan restaurant. We hadn't been there in about 6 months and the menu had changed some. While Gardein is still a big feature, there seem to be more dishes that aren't Gardein-centric. It was hard to choose, which every vegan knows is an incredible feeling!

Risotto Stuffed Banana Peppers with Basil Lime Sauce

We started with this amazing appetizer. The sauce was especially good and the perfect accent for the peppers.

Grilled Cheeze Sandwich, with Tomatoes and Arugula

I was curious to see how a restaurant would do a grilled cheese sandwich, and considering it came with arugula,tomatoes and caramelized onions, I was all over it. I'm relatively sure that's cheedar teese on top, and they did a really good job.

Tomato Artichoke Bisque

This came with the grilled cheese sandwich, always a popular combo. The avocado hearts gave this soup a little something extra.

Back on the Chain Gang Sausage Sandwich

Jim got this fat sandwich, made with a Field Roast sausage. He really enjoyed it. It's got onions and peppers, juse like it should. You can see some of the greens here, too. Vegiterranean has some of the best greens of any Ohio restaurant we've visited. Of course, he got the Chrissie fries, too. They're topped with a delicious rosemary ricotta.

This isn't the first time I've posted about the restaurant and it definitely won't be my last. To see the previous posts, check these out. If you happen to be in the area, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit. If it's your first time, get the Rockin' Burger!

Our first trip there.

Those peppers were so good that I tried to make them this weekend. That will be tomorrow's post... but think of it as a super secret restaurant throw down, Bobby Flay style, but way more stealthy.
