Vegansgiving
Thursday, Nov. 23
Astute vegans know the Green Owl Cafe is the place to be on Thanksgiving. The restaurant is once again serving a cornucopia of animal-free dishes including smoked mushroom bisque with wild rice, spicy glazed “meat” balls and a roasted red and golden beet Caesar salad. The main course is an orange-agave-soy-basted tofu “turkey” with sourdough roasted vegetable stuffing, mashed potatoes with golden gravy and fresh cranberry compote. Dessert is pumpkin “cheese” cake. Tickets ($43 includes tip, $20/kids) at greenowlcafe.com. Meals for pickup ($37). At 1970 Atwood Ave.; one seating at noon.
