Mama Z Cuisine (inside Sante La Brea)

[lex]

Sante La Brea has hired a vegan chef who makes use of their additional kitchen space and has turned it into a 100% vegan kitchen called Mama Z Cuisine. You can get the traditional Santa Vegan friendly menu & and the Mama Z Cuisine 100% Vegan menu. We tried out the Miso Soup & Yellow Curry from the Mama Z menu tonight. The new chef, George Tigre is a great addition to Sante and brings a real "buzz" to the place. Also, don't miss his walnut Pate.

Chef Tigre is also planning monthly or bi monthly tasting nights.

Wow, mock duck! You don't see that too often on menus in LA. In Minnesota, you can get mock duck at virtually any thai restaurant, vegetarian or not.

The Chef is from Toronto so he may be bringing that Northern bit down with him!

I've only seen it in one other restaurant around here, waaaay out in South El Monte.

I think it is so nice when A normally mainstream restaurant takes the time to vary their protein options and give legitimate options to their customers. Being a vegan, that is the kind of thing I truly appreciate as a consumer and potential customer. Have yet to try Sante, but I will be making it a priority over the next couple of weeks.
