This Meatless Monday U-Turn takes us to Red Fern in Rochester, NY, but make it Meatless Tuesday- they are closed Mondays.  Red Fern’s commitment to health, ethics, environment, and social consciousness are merge to deliver outstanding vegan food.   No one will feel like an afterthought because Red Fern provides plenty of GF options for those with dietary restrictions (including the super yummy mac & cheese, breads, and sweet treats).  You’ll enjoy sandwiches, fresh juices and smoothies, full entree plates, house-baked pastries, and a selection of beer and wine.

Don’t ignore the tempting starters. You don’t want to miss the super indulgent “mac & cheese nachos,” loaded with roasted tomatoes, green olive salsa verde, and other options.  A favorite on the extensive menu is the “compost plate,” which offers a blend of foods to satisfy even the most un-vegan cravings: mac & cheese; sweet potato salad; field greens; and a choice of protein- lemon maple tofu, buffalo tempeh, seitan steak, lentil burger, or Italian sausage.    

Save room: the sweets are as beautiful as they are delicious! 

Bonus Points: For those who enjoy outdoor dining, ample patio seating is offered during the warmer months.  Can’t get enough?  Red Fern also offers full take out service and catering menu.  

The chefs at Red Fern prove that compassionate, sustainable food can meet any craving, and every delicious bite demonstrates that vegan eats are not about sacrifices.  Make your next U-Turn in Rochester, NY, and enjoy everything Red Fern has to offer.

About U-Turns

Though one recent poll suggests there are more than 7 million vegetarians/vegans in the U.S., it’s easy to feel isolated when you’re part of (roughly) 7% of the population.  One recent report  revealed that “a large majority of former vegetarians/vegans (63%) said that they disliked that their diet made them stick out from the crowd.”  That inspired CLAWtheory to give a big thanks to the awesome people, places, and products we’ve discovered who make veg life better, and U-Turns was born.
