Butternut Squash Restaurant

One of the small things in life I love is finding vegan food while traveling.  Over the weekend, my fiance (Rob) and I went to Chapel Hill, NC for a wedding.  He found a place on the Happy Cow website (www.happycow.net) called Butternut Squash that looked really good.    We were welcomed by friendly staff, and the overall feeling of the atmosphere was warm, welcoming and sunny.  They were slightly packed and there was only one server on that took all the tables, so the service was a bit slow, but the quality and taste of the food was good.   I tried the Black Bean Hemp Nut Burger that came with vegan aioli sauce, sprouts, avocado, tomato and onion on a rosemary ciabatta bread., served with carrot-cabbage slaw.  It was filling! Rob had the Club Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries.  He says the fries were great and the sandwich, even though the bread was too thick, was a nice mingling of flavors.  So our meal was pretty good!   Even better is that we convinced our friends to try it too…all of our non-vegan friends (actually one is a vegetarian) and they cleaned their plates!  How’s that for a nice Saturday lunch?
