About this episode
Everyone knows the reasons why you might want to eat less meat — it’s good for the Earth, it’s good for your health, et cetera et cetera. But not everyone knows the best spots in town to eat well, veggie-style. So today, producer Paul Karolyi ( reducetarian ) is joined by two members of the veggie community — friend of the show Brooke Garcia (vegetarian) and the new owner of Glendale’s Native Foods , Michael Olivas (vegan) — to talk about how Denver stacks up when it comes to meat-free eats and share their recs for vegetarian/vegan restaurants, as well as favorite non-vegetarian places that offer a great meat-free meal. Some links to places we mentioned: Vegan Van at Assembly Market City O’ City (Cap Hill) The Madras Cafe (Aurora) Sputnik (Baker) Pit Fiend (Five Points) Jelly (Cap Hill) La Diabla Pozole Y Mezcal (Five Points) Michael is officially the owner of the Native Foods in Glendale, but he could still use your support to revamp the menu and get the word out about the new-and-improved Native Foods. Check out the GoFundMe if you want to help out! Michael mentioned the new documentary on Netflix “ You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment .” For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm .
