Description
Riding on the success of Hillside Quickies where she'd been chef, Makini Howell launched this upscale all-vegan temple in Capitol Hill and its powerful flavors quickly earned her a lovestruck following. The vegan approach here is less from the hippie tradition and more from the school of meat substitution, with a strong nod to Southern tradition: po'boys, collard greens, mac 'n' yease, fried okra. The tastes are intense and the textures equally so. Everything's made and presented more artfully than at Hillside, and during a summer brunch, with the big front window rolled up and hotcakes to feast on, your meat-eating friends might really start to question the temptations of the flesh.
