Most folks know Webster’s Bookstore Cafe as a great meeting with spot with delicious food, great coffee and tea, and some of the coolest people in town. Plus awesome books, records, and vintage finds. OK, Webster’s is for everything, and that includes vegan food that is seriously hearty and full of fantastic flavor.

Take owner Elaine Meder-Wilgus’s Restaurant Week offering: A barbecue jackfruit made with date paste (instead of sugar) with planks of local tofu drizzled in thaihini sauce with a side of polenta with parsley and sunflower seed pesto. Plus a chickpea salad on top of beautiful local romaine with ginger miso dressing.

“We wanted to make something fresh and exciting,” said Elaine, who’s been hosting Vegan EpiCurious Supper Club meals after hours in the cafe. “We’ve done four so far. They’ve been amazing. It’s for people who are curious about being vegan and of course for people who are already eating plant based. So far it’s been about half and half. I want to show people that eating plant based is not about skimpy food. You have about 500 plants you can eat!” The next one is planned for September, so get your veggie fill during Restaurant Week!
