PETA Prime is a blog for the over-50 demographic that focuses on ethical lifestyle choices. In an entry called “Touring Vegan Eats in Ann Arbor,” blogger Robin Soslow compiled a list of vegan food choices after a recent visit to Ann Arbor.
Soslow highlights the obvious choices: The Lunch Room, Seva, Cafe Verde and Earthen Jar; but also features vegan options at non-vegetarian restaurants like Ayse's Cafe, Tios and Frita Batidos.
You can read the full entry, complete with photos, on the PETA Prime site.

I bet we can find some good food ideas on a Neo-Nazi site, too.

Set aside the ethical issue for a moment as it's highly subjective. Let's talk Green. Animal protein production takes eleven times the energy and one hundred times the water over vegetable protein. One hour may help you form your own educated opinion on the matter (from the BBC) http://youtu.be/wwBgNF_4g7Q Also if by "Everyone knows where to get a sandwich when visiting this town" you mean the Maze N Blue Deli on South U then you are SPOT ON!! That place is awesome!

Maize N Blue Deli and Zingerman's both get a ton of recognition locally and nationally. If you want a sandwich in this town, you're probably well aware of your options. *That's* what I meant. ;)

While i defer to no-one in my love for animals PETA is an over the top organization whose advice on anything ..including food choices-- is rendered suspect by their flamboyant poor judgement/behavior. When i see one of them as a judge on 'top chef' i may rethink this.

Top Chef is not reality; it's a vehicle to make money. Why let commercial TV guide your choices? The author of the article you are disparaging wrote 2 cookbooks (for omnivores), one award-winning, back in the time when book print runs were expensive so publishers had to choose carefully. The author knows food, having come from family that ran a cafe and a regionally highly regarded butcher shop that didn't sell factory-farmed chemical-infused met.

Thousands of companion animals killed by PETA in their Virginia HQ, every year. The worst shelters in America would be closed by their ratios.

Why? Do vegans threaten your lifestyle somehow? Why would you even care?
