Fog Eater Cafe
The culinary influences are Deep South and Californian at this vegetarian (mostly vegan) restaurant with salmon-color walls, teal tables, and white trim. The chefs' flair for the dramatic might exhibit itself in carrot-cake waffles at Sunday brunch, hush puppies and beet-dyed deviled eggs as happy-hour nibbles, and dinnertime fried-green-tomato biscuit sliders and Mississippi Delta–style hot tamales.
