Lovin' Spoonfuls

Burgers, country-fried chicken and club sandwiches – the menu reads like one at your typical diner but there's a big difference: no animal products will ever find their way into this vegan haven. Outstandingly creative choices include the Old Pueblo bean burrito and the Peking bowl – a gingery stir-fry of broccoli, snow peas and other goodies over brown rice.
