i feel some need to attain balance by not only ripping on things but celebrating positive events as well. In a recent trip to visit friends i got to eat at my favorite restaurant in the world: Grasshopper. The food there is so good just thinking about it makes me happy.
As someone who has found contentment in eateries where the menu contains one or two vegetarian/vegan options Grasshopper is a bit of heaven (if Dante can establish layers of hell, why can't i imagine layers of heaven?). With page after page of vegan Vietnamese and Chinese meals the options are almost overwhelming. i could randomly pick a meal to try and know that it was vegan and that i could eat it. Not that i'd stray from the fake chicken fingers or a delicious bowl of soup, but it is a comforting fact.
The amazingly positive vibe of knowing that nothing was killed to feed the always packed restaurant quickly grows up from your stomach and leaves one with a feeling of contentment and peace. It is contagious and fills the whole dining area. i'm now drooling on the keyboard.
The food there is amazing and easily enjoyed by herbivores and carnivores alike. i can't recommend it enough and if you are looking for company i can easily be persuaded to make the trip down. i have had great vegan eating experiences in New York City and Nashua, NH as well but nothing quite compares to Grasshopper- Boston, MA. If i lived closer you would need a flat bed truck to transport me around.
Oh, how i never take a great meal for granted.

If you guys move, we'll buy the flat bed truck!!
Prove your point. Invite me. I would LOVE to try it. (Dan certainly isn't going to take me there.)
Yes, I know this looks like a desperate ploy to get out of the house (without the kids). I can be shameless in the name of good food and good company.
