NYmag declared in last week’s issue that Vegetables Are The New Meat, in an article describing New York’s new found love for all things vegetable.  David Chang, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, even Mario Batali are all adding vegetable-focused cuisine to their new restaurants and menus.  And it’s about time!!  With all the city’s amazing farmer’s markets, bursting at the seams with colorful, delicious, local produce, New Yorkers are wising up to the idea that a delicious, 5-star meal does not need to be centered around a meat or protein to be amazing, satisfying, and worth the money.  So get over your meat-and-potatoes mindset, and start chowing down some black kale, sunchokes, and kabocha squash!
