The Wild Cow for lunch


OK, so we did a lot of debating about the name of this resturant, but we decided to try it in spite of the name. The Wild Cow is a new Vegetarian resturant in Nashville, TN. The name refers, ironically, to the fact that cows are not wild, because probably almost all cows in the US are livestock cows. The website says:

"We started the Wild Cow to provide delicious, cruelty-free, healthy food to the people of Middle Tennessee. We will never support the inhumane and environmentally destructive factory farm system that dominates our agricultural economy, nor will we support corporations like Coke and Pepsi that thrive off of our addiction to sugar and artificial “food”. Nearly all of our food is purchased in it’s whole form, meaning we make almost all of our own sauces, dressings, soup stocks, etc. This means that we can name every ingredient in the food we serve!"


The Wild Cow tends to serve mostly Vegan food, but some dishes do include free range eggs and organic cheese can also be added if desired. Our group included one long time vegetarian, two newby vegetarians who TRY to eat vegan, and one meat eater.
The ambiance of the place is great. Very "crunchy", with local art on the walls, and the servers all look like the live the natural lifestyle. Everything on the menu looks yummy, with lots of fresh options, different daily specials, soups and all sauces and dressings are homemade. I chose a tempeh buffalo sandwhich and vegan mac and "cheese". We all got sodas with natural and organic ingredients. Those were great too. The organic green tea root beer is recommended!


The food was awesome. We really enjoyed it. The long time vegetarian in the group was so happy to have a menu full of options to choose from instead of the usual one or two veggie options on a typical menu. Even our meat eater said the veggie burger was pretty good.

This is defitely a place to eat for anyone eating vegetarian or vegan in Nashville.
