Ashley Kitchens: Plant-Based Registered Dietitian and Virtual Nutrition Mentor Season 1 Episode 89

"You don't have to be vegan to enjoy vegan food!"

I am lucky enough to live in a city that boasts several vegan restaurants. However, 10 years ago, I could not make this same claim. In 2013, The Fiction Kitchen made history by becoming the Capital City's only 100% vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Their mission is to bring thoughtful, creative and approachable vegan/vegetarian cuisine prepared with the freshest seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. 

Recognized for its diverse menu, local beers, thoughtful wine selection and signature cocktails, The Fiction Kitchen is perhaps best known for treating omnivores to a satisfying, often mind-blowing introduction to vegetarian cuisine. 

 Chef Caroline Morrison is a North Carolina native  who opened this amazing eatery with her partner/co-owner, Siobhan Southern. This year they'll be celebrating Fiction Kitchen's 10 year anniversary! Today she has joined me to give us the backstory of what inspired her to take such a huge risk and why she believes they are still so successful after all these years.  I am ecstatic to showcase this local destination!
