What do you think of those vegan restaurants that serves only raw food? My view on this is that Raw Vegan food are okay when they are part of a more comprehensive menu, because part of the pleasure in eating our is the variety of choices. However, others have argued that an all raw vegan menu is an interesting culinary challenge for the chef. What are your thoughts?

I don't ask for much, but whatever you do give me, make it of the highest quality.

Having never been to an all raw vegan restaurant I cannot say how it plays out but I am prejudiced against it..some raw food is fine and some isn't, so I agree with you about choice. Does that mean all of the food is cold and is some sauced with raw ingredients? Imagine a crudo restaurant where you get a raw lamb chop with some raw broccoli and an uncooked potato...
