Tabla vegan meal review?

If anyone attended the Tabla vegan meal last night, please send me a link to your review or feel free to post your thoughts/review/menu in the comment section for this post. I was not able to attend, but I am plenty curious to hear how the evening was!

Portland Food and Drink blog

From the PastaWorks January newsletter (PDF), I learned of the Portland Food and Drink blog. While it's true that any idiot can start a blog (ahem), these people actually hold restaurants to high standards, don't reveal that they are food critics, complain when the restaurant sucks instead of leaving it to be understood between the lines, and interview chefs. If they would do a decent job of explaining the vegetarian options, I'd probably close this blog.

And if you're asking why the January newsletter in late February, it's because that's what's there. I assume one has to subscribe to see the most recent newsletter.

I just noticed that PastaWorks has a newsletter now. You can subscribe by entering your email address right on their home page. You'll see one of the things I learned from that newsletter in my next post...

Tabla goes Vegan...

...for a night, anyway. Tabla writes to tell me "Join us on Sunday, February 26 at 6pm for our first Vegan Supper." And "This four course meal is $35 and advance reservations are absolutely required." I would swear Tabla used to have a web site, but I see no sign of it now. Please let me know in the comments if you have the URL. One or two folks have posted to this web site asking for information on vegan options as well as vegetarian. Well, I think Tabla does a pretty good job with vegetarian food, even though I still hold it against them for not having any vegetarian main course. But I suspect that for vegans, this could be one of the finer restaurant dinner experiences you'll find this year.
