Kevin’s birthday dinner in New York!
For his birthday dinner, Kevin picked Pure Food & Wine, a raw vegan restaurant in Gramercy Park. I know what you’re thinking… raw vegan food are you effing crazy?? Kevin and I love trying new vegan and vegetarian restaurants - but have never tried a raw restaurant. Since Seattle has a lack of raw foodrestaurants we thought we’d try this one in New York.
And it was uh-maz-ing! I wouldn’t have guessed that raw food could be so delicious. The thought and time that went into Pure’s menu and food preparation was extremely admirable. If I was Oprah-rich and could afford a personal chef, it would be the chef from Pure. Not only would I be well fed, but I’d be ridiculously healthy without feeling like I was missing out on ‘normal’ food. Between rice made from shaved hibiscus and cheese made from cashew nuts - Pure was extremely innovative in creating food that you would never guess was raw. In addition to their inventive menu, the location and setting was gorgeous. We sat in the beautiful outdoor courtyard with trees and twinkling lights surrounding us. It felt like a secret city hideaway!
