COK in the News: D.C.’s NBC Affiliate Features “Green Cuisine: Veggie Options”

On July 31, 2007, thousands of television viewers in and around the nation’s capital learned about Compassion Over Killing’s work to promote animal-friendly fare in a phenomenally positive story about vegetarian eating that ran on Washington, D.C.’s NBC-4 during the nightly news.

The report also featured the savory meat-free menu options at Java Green, winner of COK’s first annual “Best Vegetarian Restaurant” contest (see below).

COK’s VegDC.com Hosts its First Ever “Best Vegetarian Restaurant” Contest!

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. In June 2007, Washingtonians voted for their favorites in VegDC.com’s first annual “Best Vegetarian Restaurant” contest—and in July we announced the overall winner.

In recognition of its mouth-watering meatless cuisine, VegDC.com voters chose Java Green as the “Best Vegetarian Restaurant” in the Washington, D.C.-Metro area, and Compassion Over Killing proudly presented the owner with our 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.
