A Welcome to This Vegan at Lovejoy's

I called ahead to let Lovejoy's know that there would be one vegan in our party of four, and I was it.

Yesterday the very charming server brought out Muna, who has been the co-owner and manager of Lovejoy's for the past 16 years, and she said, "You're the vegan?  Great!  Wonderful!  We have..."

And then she began to describe the combinations they could make, and it wasn't just a question of leaving out; they were adding in.  "And nuts for protein," she said at one point.

"You know something about this," I said, gratefully.

"Yes," she said because I used to be a vegetarian, and I have a lot of friends who are vegan, and I really respect and support what you're doing."

That was a refreshing change from the head of lettuce that sometimes lands on the vegan's plate.

And weren't they pretty?


Oh, and she said their scones were vegan, too.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
