I opened up the paper this morning and saw a cool restaurant, and when I saw where it was I was taken aback. The restaurant was Chrissie Hynde's The VegiTerranean and the city was Akron. With the tag line, "Vegan Fare . . . Italian Flaire" sounds mighty tasty.
"It's Akron native and rock musician Chrissie Hynde's The VegiTerranean, featuring vegan cuisine in a sleek, modernist setting with a soothingly expansive outdoor patio. It's on the first floor of a new residential loft building in Akron's compact, renovated Northside District. (Northside also has a depot for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, featuring vintage train cars traveling through Cuyahoga Valley National Park.)Hynde, who long ago left for England to find fame fronting the Pretenders, decided to help her hometown with this restaurant, which opened in 2007. Dinner entrées like Gardein (a trademarked garden-grown protein) scaloppini picatta prove the point. Plus her Chrissie Fries may be the best French fried potatoes in the world."
