You know I love my vegetables. They go really good with my meat of the day. So, I was interested to see the VegNews Veggie Award winners announced. I expected maybe broccoli or a nice carrot but no it’s about a lot more than that.

VegNews, America’s premier vegetarian lifestyle magazine, is set to announce the winners of the 2006 Veggie Awards, the most coveted honor in the vegetarian industry. Published in their November+December edition, the Veggie Awards are the largest survey of its kind in the world, with more than 10,000 readers voting for their favorite vegetarian people, products and places in nearly 40 categories. Also featured are 14 editors’ picks, where the magazine’s editorial staff recognizes the movers and shakers of the veg world.

Here’s a few of their “reader’s choice” awards:

Best Veg Restaurant: Millennium (San Francisco)
Best Fast Food Restaurant: Subway
Best Veggie Burger: Boca
Best Vegan Bakery: Sticky Fingers (Washington, DC)
Best Vegan Cheese: Tofutti
Best Online Store: Vegan Essentials

Does it mean anything that they have less readers than this blog?
