Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 I have a question. I thought I heard someone say that raw is not really their forte... vegan yes, but raw/living, no. If that's the case, does the food really warrant the cost? Or is it just the novelty of dining out that makes it worth it? If it's really fantastic cuisine, I might consider treating myself once in awhile, but would like to know others' experience in terms of quality, service, ambiance... --- Jeff Rogers <soystache wrote: > For those of you who missed the first " Raw Night " at Cafe Ambrosia > (and those who wish to return) here is another opportunity for you: > > > Thursday, July 26 Raw Night > > As a result of the popularity of our 4-course raw menu on June 28, we > are pleased to offer again an all raw menu in conjunction with our > regular dinner menu on July 26.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 Hi Jane, I wouldn't say that raw is not their thing. They are learning and very interested in supporting us. I believe I should support their efforts as well. They make a beautiful salad. However, when Eric brought his famous tahini dressing along, we easily substituted it for the house offering. Go Eric!! You'll be selling that stuff soon, I hope!! AND when Jeff brought along his famous raw ice cream (strawberry), it was served up beautifully!! Go Jeff! You too are selling your talents, I hope! I'm looking forward to owning a copy of your new cook book! That's all the dinner we needed. Yes, a bit pricey, and we could probably do the same routine elsewhere for less. Nice view of the fireworks, however! Anybody else care to comment?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 Whoever is our " group " sponsor, I think the owners should be informed about the reactions some of us had at their last dinner, so they can adjust accordingly. Maybe we could collectively suggest a menu for them--since they are new at this. Have they been invited to our next potluck Saturday? (they are probably working.) Gee. How are the EVER going to get to a potluck? Interesting. They have the venue, not the knowledge. We have the knowledge, and are urgently seeking the venue. hmmmmmm Karen, isn't there some kind of compromise here? :-) Linda > " Jeff Rogers " <soystache > RawSeattle > Wed, 4 Jul 2001 17:30:54 -0700 > RawSeattle > [RawSeattle] Cafe Ambrosia " Raw Night " > > For those of you who missed the first " Raw Night " at Cafe Ambrosia > (and those who wish to return) here is another opportunity for you: > > > Thursday, July 26 Raw Night > > As a result of the popularity of our 4-course raw menu on June 28, we > are pleased to offer again an all raw menu in conjunction with our > regular dinner menu on July 26.

As Linda has already mentioned, some of us wish to support their efforts to provide raw food to customers. If none of the raw foods community supported them, then we likely would not see any raw foods on their menus other than salads, etc. I would prefer eating there than most other vegan/vegetarian restaurants in the area, because it is organic vegan food. It is a great place to bring those people still eating cooked food (yes, even flesh foods). At least I can count on the quality of the food. I know there are no artificial ingredients or preservatives, etc. So, until a raw restaurant opens up (hello, Karen) this is certainly a place to take a mixed group of people. As they get more in tune with raw foods, I'm sure their raw meals will be wonderful. I'm sorry to hear of some peoples negative reactions to the food. Other than some very minor discomfort, I didn't have any problem and didn't hear of any problems from those I spoke to. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 I didn't have any negative physical reactions either. I did hear that there was maple syrup in one of the dishes though. For those of you who didn't fell so good afterward, that would be my guess as to the culprit. We need to talk to Gary and/or the chefs/owners directly to let them know exactly which ingredients are raw, which aren't, which there's disagreement on, and the possible consequences to certain raw fooders eating something cooked. I did like the dishes, but it would be hard for me to make it a regular outing due to the expense. I do agree with Jeff's comments.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 From what I heard about the first " Raw Night " it seems the meal was a little too heavy. I think if they can make it lighter(smaller amount of nuts ) and reduce the price a little, more people would join. Can we ask them to make some adjustment for us?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Thanks Linda and thanks to Jane for mentioning my name. Guess I can brag a little. I sent a macadamia nut cheese recipe to a gal in NY and the next thing I know I won a contest! Don’t know if there is a prize or what, but she did call me today and interviewed me for her website – RawFoodNews.com Jacques (18 y.o. son) completed the Seattle to Portland bike ride in one day – RAW. He fueled himself with coconut water and meat put through the VitaMix along with massive amounts of bananas and a few dates. He started at 4:45 a.m. Saturday and crossed the finish line at 9:30 p.m. He lost more than two hours with mechanical problems, a blown gear wire and TWO flats! Poor kid. But at least he finished. I was really amazed at what these people go through to do this bike ride. We heard of a kid that had 4 flats.
