Clarksville, Md. -- The vegan food revolution has taken hold in every corner of America, and nowhere is that trend more evident (and delicious!) than at Clarksville's organic, all-vegan Great Sage restaurant. That's why Great Sage is in the running for a Libby Award in the category of Best Vegan Local Restaurant from peta2, PETA's youth division. Now in their seventh year, the 2012 Libby Awards ("Libby" for "liberation," as in animal liberation) include 22 categories.
"More and more young people are insisting that the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, and, especially, the food they eat reflect their strong feelings in favor of animal rights," says PETA Youth Marketing Manager Emily Rodriguez. "All our nominees are winners because they're meeting the demands of compassionate kids and helping animals at the same time."
Great Sage, which opened in 2004, is owned by Jeff and Holly Kaufman and Jody Cutler, who also own a nearby organic market and a socially responsible gift and clothing boutique. The restaurant features natural and organic dishes that are bursting with flavor. peta2's favorites include the delicious hearts of palm vegan crab cake, creamy artichoke spinach dip with dairy-free Parmesan and toasted crostini, green-lentil and pumpkin burger, and raw zucchini pesto. But leave room for dessert. You won't want to miss the four-layer chocolate cake, Great Sage's trademark carrot cake, or the soy ice cream with house-made hot fudge.
Voting ends on December 17. Winners will be chosen by peta2 based on several factors, including vote count, and will be announced on December 19. See the full contest details here.
