Here you have it, the last of the pictures from my visit with family in North Carolina. (Actually, I have a pic of the deer on my sister’s doorstep in this month’s newsletter). These are of the dishes we had at a small, fairly new, vegetarian restaurant in Chapel Hill’s University Square called Butternut Squash.

I had the VEGAN CLUB:
The description, “Baked tofu and smokey tempeh bacon with lettuce, tomato, red onion, stone ground mustard and vegan aioli” was definitely accurate, as it was a very smokey sandwich.
My Dad had the BLACK BEAN HEMP-NUT BURGER, “served with avocado, goat cheese, mustard, basil, aioli and sprouts.”
OK, so that one’s not vegan, with the goat cheese, but at least I’m not showing you my sister’s choice, the pasta primavera (hello cheese!).
The chocolate cake, however, was vegan (and the ice cream too).
The latter, that small scoop of ice cream, was a separate dessert dish on its own, and, to put it mildly, something of a disappointment in its size to price ratio. Other than that, a good and filling meal.
Oh boy both of those sandwiches look so good! And of course the chocolate vegan cake WOW
Would really love to find some good restaurants around here that serve stuff like that.
