Some of us are on a restrictive diet (i.e., doctors have told us to go vegan). So, this is an encouraging local development (via the CJ) on one popular award-winning eatery:

Though lamb leads the way and many of the offerings include meat, the menu is clearly marked with vegetarian and gluten-free options. And (Chef Dallas) McGarity is happy to offer a vegan tasting menu with advance notice.

“It’s really fun for me to put together a five- or seven-course vegan dinner,” he exclaimed, adding that these meals aren’t just a variety of salads. He understands the limitations vegans face when dining out, and he aims to provide the same upscale experience that all his guests receive. “It’s all thoughtfully put together.”

Guests who want a vegan option can email fatlamblouisville@gmail.com to submit a request. McGarity and his team need a few days to prepare, but they are happy to accommodate.

The restaurant is The Fat Lamb, and McGarity is a James Beard Award semifinalist and “Chopped” winner.

We’ve eaten there before (in our non-vegan days) and have enjoyed its offerings. Perhaps it’s time to make a return visit for a vegan focus.

(One grammar note in the story. Don’t say “he exclaimed” when you should just say “he said.” I’m sure he wasn’t just talking normally then stood up and shouted enthusiastically.)
