She's opened The Vegiterranean in her hometown in Ohio, hopefully she'll expand it soon. The menu is mouthwatering. I always felt her old friend Linda McCartney should have done this, putting her own recipes on he menu.

It looks really nice. If I were any where nearby, I'd definitely stop by.

Why do all the cool restaurants have to be so far away?

I'd love to eat there. I love Chrissie Hynde's voice too, but that's irrelevenat to the thread. I think Skylark has been there. Perhaps she can share some insight.

Akron is my hometown and I have been to her restaurant. It was amazing as it seems.
It was my birthday so we treated ourselves royally. The tomato caprese was excellent - I used to love that appetizer as a vegetarian. I had the lemon picatta 'chicken' which was wonderful. But the best part hands down, was the cheesecake. Divine!
The restaurant is simple, modern and elegant without feeling pretentious. It is located in a new condo building and there is a small coffee shop and bakery attached that I believe is all vegan as well. If I lived in Akron I would live there.

Obviously I'm aware Linda has sadly passed away and I think it's fairly obvious that I meant that I always felt Linda should have opened a restaurant, not that she should have opened in Chrissie Hynde's hometown.

Do you know if the restaurant is doing well, does it seem busy? I would love something like this to be a good success.
