Less than 3 percent of Americans keep a vegetarian or vegan diet. Because
the vegetarian and vegan population is a small minority, members claim
they're often misunderstood by meat lovers.
All over the country, it's up to vegetarians and vegans to do their homework
to find where they can eat in public. But in a progressive city like Ann Arbor -
whose reputation is built on the liberal persona of townies and students bashing
with hash and frequenting farmer's markets - it would seem that the veggie-
movement would be at the forefront of the University and city's dining scene.
But if the city and the University were to duke it out for the
gold medal in veggie-friendliness, it appears that Ann Arbor
takes home first prize.
Ann Arbor is home to three exclusively vegetarian restau-
rants with many places having vegetarian-friendly options tobe
enjoyed by herbivores and omnivores alike.
- University alum Ananth Pullela recently opened Jazzy Veg-
gie, the most recent all-vegan eatery on Main Street.
"My vision was always meant to make this a very mainstream,
fast, casual eatery - not a very upscale vegetarian dining experi-
ence with pricey food," he said. "I wanted this to be a place
where people could just grab a bite - a burger or a pizza - it
just so happens that it's all plant-based."
Pullela, a lifelong vegetarian, explained he was disheartened
about vegetarian food options after moving to America.
"When I first came to this country, I had to temporarily eat
meat because I was kind of starving," he said. "You go to Mc-
Donald's, and you can't get anything else."
Pullela wanted to create a restaurant where people could find
a variety of options - sans animal fat and cholesterol - allun-
derneath one roof. As a former University student and resident
of Ann Arbor, he knew there was a vegetarian population here
to cater to.
"There aren't many choices out there, especially for vegans,"
he said. "So here, people can come to eat in groups - omnivores,
vegetarians, vegans - and find something for everybody."
Jazzy Veggie makes all of its pizza crust, sauces and dress-
ings from scratch, uses Zingerman's Delicatessen bread for
sandwiches and capitalizes on the variety of vegetable-based
proteins available to create a menu of familiar, American food.
His trademark lies within the flavorful twist he specializes for
each dish..
"The ingredients are all gourmet," he said. "I wanted to bring
all the flavors and sauces traditionally associated with meat
options to the vegetarian side. This is not your average veggie
burger - a patty thrown on a bun with some greens, tomato and
ketchup. A lot of ingredients go into it."
Pullela emphasized that though he and his restaurant choose
to avoid animal products, he isn't running an anti-meat campaign.
"Different people have different lifestyle choices," he said.
"I'm not advocating veganism or vegetarianism here. I'm just
offering food that's flavorful for everybody.
"We're not offering 'vegan' food - it's good food. That's how
I like to be seen."
For some vegan and vegetarian students at the University,
like Public Policy junior Joe Varilone, living in Ann Arbor has
gone beyond simply supporting a distinct lifestyle choice: It has
brought other ethical food questions to the forefront - espe-
cially as it relates to the environment.
"Living in Ann Arbor and talking to people, I think it has af-
fected other ways eat besides just beingvegan," said Varilone,
who is also the president of the Michigan Animal Rights Society.
"It has definitely made me aware of issues in organic agriculture
versus the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, pesticides
and insecticides."
Varilone's top picks for vegan cuisine are Big Ten Burrito for
its vegetarian rice and bean burrito and Raja Rani for its channa
masala stocked with chick peas - two dishes rich in protein,
which is a must for Varilone when eating out.
LSA junior Lyndsay De Carolis, a vegetarian, prefers Chipotle
for her black bean fix because the restaurant uses local vegeta-
bles and organic beans whenever possible.
Other popular choices among vegan students: Seva Restau-
rant on East Liberty Street, an all-vegetarian restaurant, Sava's
State Street Cafe which offers three types of veggie burgers and
Mia Za's on East University Avenue which provides pasta and
salad choices that are generally vegetarian or easily modified.
Most ethnic restaurants around the city and campus are also
vegan-friendly, nutritious and affordable.
Earthen Jar offers an all-vegetarian Indian buffet, No Thai's
menu, with locations on South University Avenue, North 4th Av-
enue and Plymouth Road, includes noodle or stir-fry dishes with
