An Idea So Crazy It Just Might Work: Vegan Thanksgiving at tayst

After hosting two successful vegan wine dinners last month, Chef Jeremy Barlow at tayst has decided to try to push the envelope on one of our most traditionally meat-centric holiday meals, Thanksgiving. The way he figures it, if you skip the tryptophan turkey bomb it will leave you more awake to enjoy the divine savory flavors of autumn vegetables. As a bonus, it also leaves more room for pie — three different flavors.

Check out this menu:

1st tayst: spoonbread souffle with cranberry dressing

2nd tayst: turnip gratin (glazed turnips, turnip slaw, sage)

3rd tayst: pear salad (poached pear, soy walnut cheese, arugula, cinnamon gastrique)

4th tayst: tofurkey (bourbon tofu, stuffing, roasted vegetables, gravy)

5th tayst: pie trio (apple, sweet potato, pecan)

If this calls to you, then you should call to them at 383-1953 to reserve your spot. There will be one seating this Thursday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 p.m. This looks like an incredible bargain at five courses for $45, including wine pairings for each course.

And if vegan is not your cup of tea, the rest of the dining area will still be available for your carnivorous pleasure, so drop on by.
