That was my error. When I go to Philly, I'll try Horizons. See how it compares to Madeline's in Los Angeles, Millenium in the City, or Candle 29 in New York...

It struck me as really, <i>really</i> odd. And then I realized the post isn't odd: I am. In my gap year between college and law school, I worked at a <a href="www.horizonsphiladelphia.com" rel="nofollow">gourmet vegan restaurant</a>. I had eaten there before, and was fascinated by their approach to food. Rather than emphasizing vegan food's healthy properties, the owners viewed food as four-dimensional sculpture. Such an artistic approach prevents self-denial from being an issue. I'm starting to wonder whether such a perspective may make veganism more palatable in the wider society.
