A growing trend for those who are not willing to
give up meat entirely.
It's like just do one day a week with it,
right? Lori Frederick with on Milwaukee joining me here to
tell me about some really delicious spots.
And I want to say I love this list because
it was filled with not only I don't want to
say how this flavor culture and some familiars.
So let's start, let's start with a breakfast item and
we start in Africa.
Yes, yes. And, and I think this is a breakfast
item that we think of as breakfast that might be
thought of
for any time of the day there.
But it is called Malawa and it's a crepe.
A crepe. I'm a little bit thicker than maybe what
you think of for a French
style, but it's still sweet.
But at Blue Star, it's a little bit sweet.
And they fill it with vegetables,
spinach, corn, peas, carrots. And then you get you get
it served with a yogurt sauce.
And
this they call it their spicy green sauce.
I just saw it. There is an official name.
I think it's babas cigar.
It is spicy, but it is so,
so delicious. Like you can't you can't have it without
dipping it at least once.
I I I firmly think so.
And you can tape. You can tame it with the
yogurt.
OK, All right. So the next spot has kale,
avocado. I love both. This now takes us to India,
and we really kind of have elevated the ingredients here.
We have. We have it.
And this is really, this is a street food.
It's called Chats, and it comes in many,
many forms, even in India.
This one has avocados and
avocados and kale primarily, even
pomegranate. It's sweet, salty. Yeah.
Little piece of the pomegranate,
little pieces of crispy potato.
It's delicious. I always say that like it.
It begs for a drink on the side.
It would be a great bar snack and Saffron has
good drinks too as well.
Absolutely. But it's also a good lead in to other
vegetable dishes,
which they have many I love.
OK, so our next item now takes us to the
land of Italy and
oh, I love this spinach cheese pasta.
What more can we say
on the comfort, on the comfort food And
Lincanto, which is brand new on Murray St.
they make all of their pastas.
This is a spinach pasta,
which instead of being layered like a lasagna with,
with ricotta cheese and Parmesan,
it is twirled in a swirl.
So you get all of these layers,
the the sauce, the the tomato butter,
as I call it, seeps down kind of inside.
And then you have some Peach pea tendrils on the
top.
It's beautiful, It's delicious. I have 30 seconds.
Tell me about this comfort food
on our last restaurant. Yes.
Among the best
vegetarian burgers is the black bean burger at Wicked Hop.
Part of it is that they make it.
They make it in house.
It's Southwestern, but it has bits of black beans,
bits of corn, plenty of Southwestern flavor.
You can. It's pretty good the way that they serve
it.
But I might add guacamole and some.
It's Wisconsin, maybe, maybe cheese.
Yeah, but some guacamole and jalapenos just for the kick.
We have just scratched the surface on this meatless option.
