VegDC.com also awards "Three Green Stars" to The Vegetable Garden and Sunflower
July 10, 2007
Washington, D.C.—In recognition of its mouth-watering meatless cuisine, VegDC.com voters have chosen Java Green as the "Best Vegetarian Restaurant" in Washington, D.C. and the entire Metro area. Compassion Over Killing, which operates the VegDC.com web site, is proud to present Java Green with a 2007 "Three Green Stars" award. This bustling yet intimate downtown eatery introduced its
meat-free menu in 2004, and has been pleasing the palates of vegetarians and meat-eaters alike ever since. Popular dishes include the "chicken" rice bowl, the VegDC panini, and the "chicken" chili wrap.
VegDC.com's "Three Green Stars" awards are also being dished out to The Vegetable Garden in Rockville, Md., and Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant in Vienna, Va.—both restaurants were selected by VegDC.com voters as "Best Vegetarian Restaurant" in Md. and Va., respectively.
"Finding vegetarian fare in and around the nation's capital is now easier than ever," said Erica Meier, executive director of Compassion Over Killing. "Whether it's for animals, the environment, or their health, more and more people are requesting delicious, convenient vegetarian options from our city's restaurants."
The D.C.-Metro area is home to more than two dozen vegetarian eateries catering to an ever-growing demand for delicious and innovative animal-friendly fare, and during the month of June, Washingtonians voted for their favorites in VegDC.com's first ever "Best Vegetarian Restaurant"
contest. The contest was hosted by Compassion Over Killing and was sponsored by Pangea, Perfect Organics, and the Vegetarian Society of the District of Columbia—all of which donated prizes for ten lucky voters chosen at random.
