Excerpts

Volume XVI, Number 4




Out of the Way or On the Way?


What's considered "out-of-the-way" varies drastically for each person. Folks from New York City might consider Delaware out of the way, while residents of Delaware, and most of us, for that matter, consider Montana out of the way. But the fact is that once you are out of a major city in any state, whether California or Arkansas, your chances of finding a vegetarian restaurant decrease dramatically.

Don't despair. With the increasing demand for vegetarian fare you'll be surprised to find that in some of those "out-of-the-way" spots in the USA, there's probably a vegetarian restaurant nearby, or at least a restaurant with a few vegetarian selections. So what kind of vegetarian meal will you find in South Dakota, and are there vegan options in Mississippi? Read on to find out some of the new and isolated (from other vegetarian restaurants, that is) restaurants we've found while compiling Vegetarian Journal's Guide to Natural Foods Restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.
