I walked up to The Veggie Cafe for lunch. It is right around the corner from my house, which is great, but for right now it is just a trailer in a dirt parking lot. They are working on opening a real restaurant in a few months. They are all-vegetarian, but I was not really impressed. The menu consisted mainly of wraps made of salads and beans, and unimaginative tofu dishes. There was nothing that would compare to Harrison Street's tempeh artichoke sub, Skylight Exchange's veggie ruben, Veganopolis's vegan BLT, or the Red Rose's home-made black bean burgers. In fact, this place commited vegetarian restaurant sin: they had Boca burgers. Seriously... I can buy those in the grocery store for a dollar a piece.
But they are now one of only two non-Indian all-vegetarian places in Nashville (and the other one is closed during the summer). So I will support them and hope that when they move into the actual restaurant building they will expand their menu.
One definite plus: the employees were super super rediculously nice. Harrison Street Coffee doesn't have that.
