Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — Vegans love decadent desserts as much as the next guy. And with all the meat-, egg-, and dairy-free food choices available, people who are concerned about animals, the environment, and their health have lots to choose from—and that includes desserts. With that in mind, PETA has just completed its first-ever ranking of the top five vegan pies from restaurants across the U.S., and the Apple Crumb Pie à la Mode from Fort Lauderdale's Sublime has grabbed the number one spot.
The winning pie comes from the award-winning and 100 percent vegan Sublime restaurant. Sublime also serves up a delectable Key Lime Cheesecake, along with other "natural and organic foods and spirits from around the globe." The Apple Crumb Pie is mouthwatering proof that the only things missing from this vegan masterpiece are the cruelty and ill-health effects associated with eggs and dairy products.
Claiming the number two spot was the Chocolate Silk Peanut Butter Pie from Iowa City's Fair Grounds Coffeehouse. Rounding out the top five winners were the Banana Cream Pie from Lovin' Spoonfuls in Tucson, Ariz., the Coconut Pie With Blood Orange Sauce from True Bistro in Somerville, Mass., and the Cranberry Walnut Pie from Louisville's Sweet Surrender Dessert Café.
"Sublime gets five green stars for meeting Americans' growing demand for fine vegan desserts in the most delicious ways," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "With all the tasty animal-free options available these days, going vegan is as easy as apple pie."
Sublime is located at 1431 N. Federal Hwy. in Fort Lauderdale. Hours of operation are 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The telephone number is 954-615-1431.
