Emerging Thing of the Week: Cafe Gratitude
On Saturday, Claire and I went to the hippie-dippiest restaurant I’ve ever eaten at in my life. And I liked it. Cafe Gratitude (discovered via Elizabeth of Closet Rich) is a Bay Area outfit that opened a location in Hollywood in February. It serves vegan and raw dishes with names like “I Am Thankful,” a Thai coconut curry soup, and “I Am Awesome,” a non-dairy eggplant parm. When a poor busboy sets a plate down in front of you, he must say “You Are Enlivened” or “You Are Fortified” or “You Are Whatever It Is That You Ordered.” But! All of this can be forgiven because the food is freakin’ delicious. Like, knock-your-Lulu-Lemon-socks-off good. And, in case you aren’t headed West anytime soon (or just can’t deal with the Noah Baumbach-movie atmosphere), there’s a cookbook, too. —erica
