Dinner, drink and dessert menus for Vedge

Rich Landau, who's just a few weeks away from opening Vedge (1221 Locust St.) with his wife and partner Kate Jacoby, sends along an early peek at the all-vegan restaurant's beer and cocktail lists, dinner menu and dessert selection. The "dirt list" heading you see under the small-plate dinner menu (figure on three-ish plates per person) will not comprise servings of organic topsoil, but rather a constantly rotating lineup of seasonal vegetables Landau lands from his Lancaster County farm contacts. Jacoby, in addition to being a pastry chef, has also become quite the cocktail head since Horizons, so the drink list is a reflection of her vision, as well. Peruse them all after the jump, read up on the concept here and stay tuned to Meal Ticket for further word on this much-anticipated opening.
