The Somerville Licensing Commission last night approved the application of 'True Bistro, LLC' for a liquor license to open a vegan restaurant at 1153 Broadway. This is the current location of Teele Square Cafe (formerly Soleil Cafe).
i don't hate meat, and i'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but i enjoy all types of foods. 'real' vegan food is fantastic, and raw stuff is really incredible too. but yeah, i'm always fascinated in a sad way at: a.) people who think veg = healthy and are thus so much better than me and yet they load up on tons of processed, preservative-laden 'meat like' things instead of real freaking food. b.) places like my thai cafe which, i admit to going and enjoying some of their food immensely, and some of it as a greasy fix, but being more entranced by all the effort it must take to shape whatever gluten is into things that look and taste exactly like shrimp, chicken, etc.
with any luck this place will be different, but i'm not holding my breath :)
