Cafe Flora vs. Chaco Canyon Cafe
Posted Feb. 13 at 6:13 pm by Jacob Casey
If your vegan/vegetarian beau has been particularly picky regarding your shared eating out experience, there are two great vegan/vegetarian restaurants going head to head for your Valentine’s Day patronage, both hosting dinners with price fixe vegan menus exotic enough to leave both of you satisfied even if one of you IS a dirty, dirty carnivore. Here’s the match-up:
In a seemingly wanton act of one-upmanship over Cafe Flora, the Chaco Canyon Cafe has secured the moral high ground by offering not only a vegan menu but also a RAW vegan menu for its price fixe Valentine’s Day dinner. However, the Cafe Flora seems to have the capitalist (though conspicuously conscientious) competitive advantage with its irresistible offering of exotic vegan truffle four packs, boxed for take home at just $7. You can get “a quartet of truffles in mint julep, orange cappuccino, ghost chile, and nibby gianduja (“zhahn-DOO-ya,”sweet cocoa nibs with hazelnut).” You’d be hard pressed to choose between the vegan price fixe menus. Chaco is offering an entre of creamy portobella mushroom and leek risotto with oven-roasted balsamic red beets, toasted pine nuts, and lightly marinated asparagus spears. Flora’s entre has the ominously-named forbidden rice crepe, black rice layered with purple yam, tatsoi, asparagus, and curry-cocunut sauce. What’s a love struck vegan to do?
