Chrissie Hynde has much to celebrate this New Year. She and her band The Pretenders have their first album out in six years, Break Up The Concrete, and are currently on tour.
Her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, has been opened for over a year and doing quite well in her hometown in Akron, Ohio. It’s also been named one of the eight best vegetarian restaurants in the country by PETA.
The fantastic thing about Chrissie’s restaurant is it’s not located in a stereotypical region where you’d think veganism would thrive, like New York or L.A. But Chrissie has made it work and that’s great news to anyone living on the outskirts of the vegan food movement who thinks there’s no hope for their small or self described “backwards” town.
In fact, several Midwestern restaurants made the list, including two in Ohio and one in Chicago.
Check out the rest of the winners to see if your territory is covered. Are there any restaurants you think should have made the cut? Tell us about it!
