JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

New at NOMA

NOMA restaurant in downtown Winston-Salem has recently redone its menu, and Julie and I checked it out yesterday. The menu is smaller, and there’s not a huge vegetarian selection at lunch (one sandwich and one salad), but the sandwich is fabulous: sauteed wild mushrooms with scallions, lettuce, tomato and swiss cheese on a brioche bun. It’s a tasty twist on the typical portobello-mushroom sandwich. And they’ve added a risotto cake with cheese and artichoke hearts to the sides options (our waiter checked to make sure it didn’t contain any meat stock, and it didn’t—though as we learned from the Mozelle’s succotash experience, always ask each time). And, thankfully, the spinach-stuffed portobello is still on the dinner menu, at least, though unfortunately the mushroom sandwich isn’t.
