• Can I please live at the Lotus Cafe

My (also vegan) husband and I were spending a day in Jackson on family vacation last week and our group included 2 vegans (us), 1 vegetarian, 1 omni who only eats chicken, 3 omnis who eat whatever and 1 who is quite passionate about the joys of meat eating. We looked briefly at the Lotus Cafe menu online and it sounded perfect for meeting all of our dietary needs. We got there and I was so stunned that they had an extensive breakfast menu that could almost all be made vegan, plus lunch sandwiches, salads, bowls, and a case full of vegan desserts. My husband got the pesto sandwich which he said was amazing. I ended up getting the Imperial Bowl (which seemed kind of lame considering all the options but it sounded so good) and it was amazing. My man said I put my head down in the bowl and didn't come up until 20 minutes later. It was fantastic. Our waiter was super nice without being over-bearing, and when he learned that we were from Indy, he reminded us to drink lots of water because of the elevation, which I thought was really kind of him. I really wanted to just sit there all day and sample all the vegan foods. My only complaint is that I ordered tofu added to my bowl, because were were hiking in the Tetons that day, and even though the waiter repeated it back to me when I said it, it wasn't included in the bowl. I want to go back to Jackson just for Lotus Cafe!
