New Meetup: Going Raw in July - The Art of Food

Announcing a new Meetup for The Sacramento Vegan Meetup Group!

What: Going Raw in July - The Art of Food

When: July 17, 2009 6:30 PM

Where: (A location has not been chosen yet.)

We are very excited to be planning two meet-ups in July :) The first will be at a wonderful new, entirely vegan, raw restaurant in the heart of the Del Paso art district! The second will be at a new member’s home! So if you were to miss one, the hope is that you will be able to attend the other and bonus points to all who attend both. If possible we will be trying to schedule two meet-ups per month in the future.

The Art of Food is a new and very progressive restaurant. Jasen and I had the pleasure of eating there this past weekend and we could not have enjoyed it more...simply delish food. Richard, the raw mastermind behind The Art of Food, is a genius when it comes to flavors and raw living. His goal is to run a sustainable restaurant, with great food that also contributes back to the veg community in many other ways. Currently, the evening menu is a set menu with Richard having given much thought to the parings that changes daily. We enjoyed a chorizo appetizer, a raw banana and chocolate nips shake, with our main entrees being falafels and a sushi roll – yes, and all of it was raw, vegan yuminess. We shared each dish and were delighted by the flavors and textures.

For this event, we’re trying it on a Friday as something new and hopefully a success :) We want to accommodate everyone, though we know that will never happen, by trying new days and interesting, new venues. Please be sure to let me know or one of the other organizers know any feedback or constructive criticism.
For those new to the group, we are a friendly bunch with a mix of vegans, vegetarians and those making the transition. We are just a great group of people wanting to get together to share a great meal, make some new friends or reconnect with old friends...all while sharing a common interest - being a veg person.

So please join us for a fun evening out at The Art of Food! Good friends, new friends to be made and a wonderful raw experience.
