I’m looking for restaurants in the area with good vegetarian options. Mediterranean Grill is good – any other suggestions? Thx!
The Orchard is where I take vegetarian guests.
I’ve not been there in awhile but Hunan Gourmet has a huge vegetarian menu.
The Veg Frederick website has a good listing of lots of area restaurants with vegetarian options. Two of my favorites are Thai Rice (on Rt. 40 in the strip center with Clay Oven and AT&T) and The Orchard (downtown).

Apparently Mistero finally opened up. Any word on how it is?
Here is one http://foodandfrederick.com/2012/03/02/mistero-bar-and-italian-grille/
Has anyone ever shopped at the Chef’s Outlet on 5th street? I tried to go there this afternoon. The sign says they are open until 5pm, but I got there around 4:45pm and they were already closed. Is it a reputable place or should I go with my gut instinct after what I would consider a bad experience?
Andrea – I’ve been a few times. Specifically for two items, haddock and a big bag of peppers and onions. Look them up online – you can see what they have. More frozen then anythingbelse .
I usually go at lunch so not sure on the times.
Also it’s called myfoodpro online.
