Hmm, I'm an omnivore, and I run a vegetarian restaurant. I married a vegetarian 15 years ago, and vegetarian food is what I am comfortable cooking for the mases. I'm just not a proficient meat buyer. I'll let some other chef cook it. Meanwhile, there's lots of great vegetarian food out there flavor-wize, and lots of good fat/protein sources too. But I guess that, at heart, I'm with spaw.Gee Mousethief, I never thought of the mushroom price question before. I'll ask the produce buys.
