Shout out to Vedge from GQ's Alan Richman
The customers looked, I have to say, like regular folks. None of the men were pale and languid. None of the women wore a belt made from a garden hose.
Shout out to Vedge from GQ's Alan Richman
Legendary curmudgeon and Melrose Park native Alan Richman named his top 12 U.S. restaurants in this month's issue of GQ and we're more than pleased to see that our very own Vedge (1221 Locust St.) made the cut.
A skeptic from the get-go, Richman has dined in plenty of vegan restaurants "always for professional reasons and always in despair." But his experience at Vedge "traveled to a dimension in the culinary world where veganism has never been and where vegetables in general rarely go." That's some pretty high praise considering Richman's tendency to be well, a little harsh.
Not that we weren't already aware of Rich Landau's magical way with vegetables, but Richman kind of kills it with his review: "The customers looked, I have to say, like regular folks. None of the men were pale and languid. None of the women wore a belt made from a garden hose."
Head on over to GQ for the full list.
