We had a delightful meal at Fowl & Fodder on Saturday evening. This restaurant prides itself on locally-sourced ingredients from sustainable farms. We went there a couple years ago soon after it first opened and found that there was little to choose for vegans (a lot of focus on meat and cheeses). But we tried it again after reading on their web site that they had vegan options (hint to restaurants, please be open about your vegan-friendly choices!). We are glad that we went again.
First off, the server was very knowledgeable about a vegan diet and helpful in navigating the menu. We had three vegan options for dinner: a black bean veggie burger, Korean BBQ tempeh tacos and an Asian peanut salad. We opted for the tacos and the Asian peanut salad. The tacos were great; the tempeh almost tasted like it was salt-cured and had a rich BBQ taste. The tacos were covered with fresh shredded carrots. With the tacos, we had a choice of sides. Vegan options include raw kale chips, potato wedges, white bean salad, a small salad or apple slaw. We chose the slaw, which had a sweet and vinegary taste, and had the rare (at least in restaurants) combination of tasting delicious and being healthy. The Asian peanut salad had a kale base, apples, green onions, carrots, cabbage and delicious Asian peanut sauce. The salad had surprises in every bite and made for a great entrée.
Fowl & Fodder has several smoothies that are vegan (made with almond milk) and they serve fresh juices as well. They also serve breakfast 7 days a week, and have one vegan option: avocado toast. We look forward to trying that as there is such a dearth of good, hearty vegan breakfast options in the region.
We love the commitment of Fowl & Fodder to locally-sourced, organic food. Efforts like this help create a demand for better agricultural practices in Northwest Ohio. Also, Fowl & Fodder works with Beyond Basics Health Consulting (BBHC), a nutrition consulting company in Toledo. There are BBHC approved items on the menu, all vegan. We like that a restaurant is committed as well to helping people make healthy choices!
Fowl & Fodder’s menu changes on a seasonal basis. This review was based on the Late Summer menu. We look forward to returning again!
