I dined there a few months back and have been raving about it ever since. I suggest you bring your non-veg friends, they’ll never look at ‘vegetarian dining’ the same way again. It’s palate-changing. Read my full Dirt Candy review here.

    Vegetarian Rising Star Chef Award: Chef Amanda Cohen. The headline reads: Dirt Candy The First New York Vegetarian Restaurant To Win Starchefs.com Prize! Awesome.

    About Dirt Candy: Open less than a year, Cohen’s east village eatery has won popular and media praise from the blogoshere to local and national media.

Now, with the Rising Star award, Cohen has added industry recognition of her culinary talent. Amanda notes that, “It’s really exciting to see vegetarian restaurants around the country getting recognized and appreciated, and I’m proud to be a part of that.”
