Vegetarian and Vegan's Guide to Julian, CA

The mention of the words vegetarian or vegan can be an instant turn away for omnivores; I'm guilty of this myself. It seems like there's a common misconception that because something is vegetarian or vegan it lacks in taste. Speaking from experience, this could not be farther from the truth. I'm pleasantly surprised at how many delicious vegan/vegetarian options are available in little old Julian.
