With the recent trend of vegan restaurants opening coast to coast from New York to LA, it was only a matter of time before Harlem was next on the list. \u00a0Seasoned Vegan<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0Harlem’s first full service vegan restaurant is now opened for business. \u00a0Seasoned Vegan is a family business owned by mother and son, Brenda and Aaron Beener specializing in gourmet vegan food. \u00a0They give typical Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern, Caribbean and American dishes a vegan, home cooked, soulful twist.<\/p>\n

Vegan cooking has become sort of an art form for certain chefs. \u00a0If the largely successful “Blossom” located on the Upper West Side is any indication of things to come, we will be seeing more and more vegan restaurants. \u00a0When I first dined at Blossom with my sister who has been a vegan for 10 \u00a0years, I was skeptical. \u00a0After trying it I was blown away at how surprisingly flavorful and good it was.<\/p>\n

Harlem’s Seasoned Vegan write on their website “The food you love, veganized”. \u00a0Great slogan! \u00a0I am anxious to try this new place out to see for myself. \u00a0For those who may not be aware of what vegan food is, check out this brief write up about it: What is\u00a0VEGAN<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span>. \u00a0As I mentioned earlier one of my sisters is a vegan and before that was a vegetarian so I have been privileged to some pretty good homemade meals over the years. \u00a0Along with plenty of gentle lecturing on why I should not eat bacon or steak, dairy etc., or any animal products for that matter. \u00a0Even though I haven’t changed my ways yet, I understand and admire the vegan way and applaud it. \u00a0You do not have to be a vegan to eat and enjoy vegan food. \u00a0It is for everyone and I will say that you feel so healthy after having a good vegan dinner.<\/p>\n

By the looks of Seasoned Vegans dishes and desserts I imagine they will draw a nice crowd of loyal customers as well as curious new ones. \u00a0I am looking forward to visiting them for dinner very soon. \u00a0We are so fortunate to have such a diverse and specialized selection of restaurants and businesses here in Harlem.<\/p>\n
