An Omnivore at Candle 79

October 15, 2008

Yesterday’s New York Times published a review of Manhattan’s Candle 79 written by an omnivore who loves his meat and cheese. So, how did the vegan veggieburgers, sausages, and ice cream measure up?

After a series of recent meals here, I’m not ready to relinquish my Roquefort or swear off sirloins: I’m just not that virtuous. But I’ll admit that I, like most of my restaurant-critic kin, haven’t given vegan cuisine its due. Candle 79, which has prospered for five years without benefit of major reviews, showed me the light, or maybe I should say lite.

On the whole, it’s a glowing review — one that could inspire staunch omnivores to eat the occasional vegan meal. Link.
