Life Alive Organic Café, a vegetarian fast-casual restaurant chain since 2004, is expanding beyond Massachusetts, opening a new location in Washington DC. Dylan Mendelsohn, a former sous chef at Eleven Madison Park, leads the culinary innovation. The eclectic menu features Mediterranean pitas and Japanese-inspired dishes among others, with beverages like Golden Milk and Watermelon Cooler. The DC menu will include unique items influenced by local tastes, such as mushroom shawarma and a collaborative ramen dish with chef Rob Rubba, reflecting their commitment to sustainability and creativity in plant-based dining.
"I find vegetables to be very heroic, because they really act as the center of the plate and make you forget about the chicken."
"Instead, he's looking to offer an 'elevated' selection of DC-specific items, such as mushroom shawarma pita sandwiches made with a custom whole-grain flour blend."
