Grass Root is by far the best vegan/raw restaurant in the Bay area. Ok, it's the only vegan/raw restaurant around these parts, but you'll still find a bevy of dishes that even an omnivore would love (especially that delectable miso soup). Owners Spencer and Sabrina Sterling "cooked" up this part vegan/part raw menu for a breakfast (or anytime) meal that they say will heal your body and help the environment just as much as it relieves your budget. Better yet, there is very little effort involved, since a lot of the ingredients are bought pre-prepared.
Check the recipes — and the Sterlings' comments about the healthful nature of the dishes — after the break.
