Dear Guy, Joel, Greg, and Lia Nickson,
I got your names from an article by Kay Stepson, who writes a regular column on veggie cooking in the Chicago Tribune!

This is a fan letter from a vegan. I live in San Francisco, which I think of as being progressive, but I've never seen a non-vegan restaurant that was so accommodating to vegans here.
When I was visiting my sister outside Chicago, her boyfriend, who's a meat-eater, chose the Wishbone because it was vegan friendly.
I was astonished to see that you had a hole menu for vegans and vegetarians.
In the Bay Area, we vegans often find nothing at all vegan on the menu, which puts servers at a disadvantage because they have to spend their valuable time trying to suggest something to both the diner and the cook.
I wish restaurant owners here and elsewhere would follow your example. I'd be grateful if there were even one main vegan dish listed on every menu.
After returning to San Francisco, I wrote to the San Francisco Chronicle about you. In spite of their having a number of articles on the importance of eating less meat, their restaurant critic ignores the issue.
So I have a question: What prompted you to create a whole menu?
I'd really like to know because I'd like other restaurants in other cities to do what you've done!
You can reach me through e-mail if that's convenient for you.
