 “Considering my favorite tank top says, ‘Extra Cheese,’ it should come as no surprise that the Grilled Triple Cheese at Bar 101 is a personal fav. They amp it up from the childhood classic by perfectly melting Cheddar, Swiss and pepper jack on sliced sourdough with grilled tomatoes. The accompanying house-made balsamic ketchup is so tasty, you’ll want to take a bottle home.” 

“Land Ocean has a Vegetarian Frittata on its brunch menu that’s a three-egg skillet with a savory blend of country potatoes, Gruyere, Cheddar, sautéed spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes. You know after the first bite that you’re in for a delicious culinary experience. It’s served with sourdough toast, and with any entrée you can add a bottomless mimosa for $8. Now that’s a breakfast of champions!” 

“The Wellness Burger at The Green Boheme satisfies with a hearty and flavorful sunflower seed patty that’s topped with plenty of fixins: softened zucchini, marinated portabella mushrooms, marinated bell peppers, red onion, barbecue sauce and garlic aioli. Sandwiched into a crisp lettuce bun, this healthy hamburger (it’s raw and vegan!) is a must for true veg heads.” 

“Next time you’re in Auburn, do yourself a favor and swing by Joe Caribe. The Vegetarian Curry Burrito is the size of a newborn and never leaves me missing meat. With each bite, my taste buds are taken on an adventure, thanks to the rice, black beans, cheese, island slaw, mild yellow curry sauce, peanuts, toasted coconut and whipped sweet potatoes that are stuffed inside.” 

“The menu at Mehfil Indian Restaurant is chock-full of vegetarian offerings—each one layered with complex flavors and spices. My go-to order is always the Saag Paneer—cooked spinach studded with cubes of fried paneer cheese. Thickened with cream and served with fluffy basmati rice, it’s hearty, filling, and all kinds of deliciousness.”
