It was my good fortune to get a lunch recommendation from a local P-town dog-owner for Tiny's Restaurant, a local organic-scratch kitchen serving breakfast and lunch. He couldn't say enough good things about it. He was right and now I'm a fan of Tiny's too.
I was surprised to see so many vegan choices throughout the menu interspersed with traditional fare. After enjoying the Vegan Caesar Salad with garlicky tempeh croutons, which was outstanding, I had the pleasure of chatting with Chef/Owner Kristyn Samok.
I asked Kristyn why the vegan food dishes were not marked as 'vegan' on the menu. She said, 'she didn't need to mark them as 'vegan' because it's normal food. Why get caught up in labeling food? Vegans and non-vegan love delicious healthy food.' It was so refreshing to hear this! We both agreed that the word 'vegan' tends to create a distance with those who are unfamiliar with vegan food perhaps because of their fear of the unknown. Having vegan dishes blend in the menu with traditional fare did make it more approachable!

Our food ideas are influenced by years of cooking with pan cultural staffs and eating in various parts of the world. It's great for us to have the ability to create new menus from week to week without having to try to fit into a specific box. And to share some of our experiences through food. "
I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
