| - While traveling for work in Charlotte, I found Luna's on a random Google map search and decided to check out this South End location. While I do pursue a vegan eating lifestyle, I was still a bit mystified by the idea of raw. And, when I arrived and discovered that it was also no soy, I thought: well how do they do it?
They do it just fine, I quickly discovered upon diving into the Tri-Color Hummus appetizer. The roasted chipotle was my favorite of the three sunflower-seed based flavors, and the cranberry-walnut bread accompanying the hummus was incredibly delicious, especially with the nice toasted crunch. I also ordered the Spinach Temptation Salad (I saw topped with marinated beet salad and was sold!). Wow. the freshness of the food brought out flavors I had never experienced before. I wanted to lick that bowl clean.
Next time I'm in Charlotte, I will be back. And, I will try to leave room for dessert, as they all looked and sounded amazing. This is a must try, for vegans, non-vegans, and all in between! You will appreciate what simple gestures can do to enrich and enhance food in ways unimaginable.
