Eating out can be a challenging exercise for vegans.  That’s because the menus of most restaurants are filled with dishes that contain meat, dairy and eggs – with perhaps one (very lonely!) veggie-friendly option.  Fortunately, my husband and I have found that many chefs are willing to make substitutions upon request.  Sometimes chefs will happily prepare a special, off-menu dish to accommodate us.  But even in those cases our choices are limited, so we are thrilled to find restaurants that already offer a full selection of whole-food, plant-based nutrition.  Those kind of restaurants seem to be popping up regularly now.  But they are still relatively few and far between.  And therefore we were particularly happy to find one of them located practically in our own backyard.  Just a few miles down the road from us in northern Virginia, GreenFare Organic Cafe is an innovative restaurant that serves organic, plant-based food.  So we can eat everything on the menu at GreenFare.  It’s a rare treat.
