Owner:<\/strong> Joy Pierson<\/p>\n

\"\"Is this your first restaurant?<\/strong> Candle Cafe is our first restaurant and Candle 79 is our second.<\/p>\n

What made you decide to open a vegetarian\/vegan restaurant?
\n<\/strong>My passion to heal people with food. I was a practicing nutritionist and I met Bart when he was owner and operator of a juice bar\/cafe on the Upper East Side and he introduced me to the power of plant based foods. He served me a sandwich and my life was never the same. We became partners and opened up the Candle Cafe in 1993.<\/p>\n

What has been your greatest professional success and your biggest setback?
\n<\/strong>My greatest professional success is the work we\u2019ve been able to do feeding children with cancer and helping the movement for more holistic and integrative treatments. We have worked with Columbia Presbyterian and other organizations to bring plant based nutrition to those most in need.<\/p>\n

The biggest setback has been the difficulty with growth and the challenges of opening a new location.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite dish on the menu?
\n<\/strong>Our good food plate, that allows me to put together whatever grouping of sides that I\u2019m in the mood for with any two dressings or sauces. Today I had saut\u00e9ed greens, adzuki beans, quinoa vegetable pilaf, and a sweet potato with creamy wasabi and tahini dressings. I couldn\u2019t be happier.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most popular appetizer on the menu?<\/strong> Seitan chimichurri has been everyone\u2019s favorite for as long I can remember. I try to get everyone to try it, because once they do they are hooked for life.<\/p>\n

Most popular entr\u00e9e?<\/strong> Seitan Picatta with Lemon Caper sauce. It has been on our menus since we opened and has wowed vegans and meat eaters alike. It also became the first frozen entr\u00e9e to make it to the major retail markets.<\/p>\n

Most popular dessert?<\/strong> Chocolate Mousse Pie. It is decadent, gluten free, and you would never know it\u2019s vegan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How often do you change your menu items? Do you have daily or weekly specials? How do you choose those specials?<\/strong>
\nWe offer four to five daily specials along with three soups per day. We also offer a selection of sides that change on a daily basis. The choice of specials is left to our talented chefs that have a huge repertoire to choose from and are constantly coming up with new items to offer. The season is the biggest determining factor in what they choose as we want to use the freshest\u00a0most local ingredients that we can get our hands on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you have gluten-free, soy-free, and sugar-free options on your menu?\u00a0What are a few of those?<\/strong>
\nWe have a dedicated Gluten-Free menu that has about 15 options on it. We have a few desserts that are sweetened with agave\u00a0and\/or maple syrup. And we have a few soy free options but they are not noted on our menu.<\/p>\n

Gluten-free<\/strong> \u2013 Paradise Casserole, Beet Salad, Ginger Miso Stir-Fry, Chocolate Mousse Pie, Rice Pudding<\/p>\n

Soy-free<\/strong> \u2013 Good Food Plate
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sugar-free<\/strong> \u2013 Chocolate Mousse Pie and Oatmeal Choc Chip cookies are sweetened with Maple Syrup<\/p>\n

Do you use eco-friendly packaging? What else do you do to reduce your environmental impact?<\/strong>
\nWe use Eco friendly packaging when possible. Our togo flatware and cups are compostable as are some of our food packing containers. We also invest in alternative energy sources, embrace organic and local produce whenever possible, and us our \u201cgreen\u201d cleaners. We were the first certified Green restaurant in NYC by the Green Restaurant Association<\/p>\n

\"\"If you could eat at any vegan restaurant in the world where would it be?
\n<\/strong>I\u2019d be lying if I didn\u2019t say our restaurants. Whenever I\u2019m away it\u2019s all I crave. But if I had to choose somewhere, the owners of Horizons in Philadelphia opened a new restaurant called Vedge and I can\u2019t wait to check it out as they are crazy talented chefs and great people.<\/p>\n

Do you have any advice for those wanting to start a vegetarian\/vegan restaurant?
\n<\/strong>It needs to be your mission and your purpose for life. If you are in it for the money there are a lot easier ways to make a buck, but there is no better way than to affect change and the lives of people than by feeding them plant-based delicious food.<\/p>\n

Thank you Joy for sharing about your beautiful and delicious cafes with our HappyCow readers! I look forward to checking them out when I come to New York in the Spring!
