I agree with you anonymous... my "vegetarian" friends might fall-off-the-wagon (for a rare treat of bacon)--but I still love them.

I think there is a difference in being a vegan or vegetarian due to "moral" issues and being one because it is simply the diet of choice. If one chooses to call themselves a vegan or vegetarian because their primary diet is such and they on occasion stray from that diet... who cares?

If I follow a vegan diet 99% of the time and on occasion have a piece of bacon I would probably still call myself a vegan.

Jen,

I admit you are correct in saying I am using the terms Vegan and Vegetarian rather loosely.

It was more to make the humorous point of bacon's irresistibleness (if that is a word).

And believe me I have many friends that use those terms to describe themselves that also still once in a while eat bacon.

But Jen--sorry you didn't appreciate my ironic intent.

i wonder what your friends are hoping to gain by classifying themselves as vegan, if they're not vegan? i'm not vegan- hence the reason i don't call myself vegan. i am vegetarian however, which is why i don't eat bacon.

i also have to say it's a little alarming to hear a chef tossing those terms around incorrectly. probably not who i want preparing my meals.

I suggest that bacon exerts a power that even vegetarians find impossible to resist!

Bacon and pork?
Your friends are not vegetarians.
They're merely pretending because they think it makes them interesting.

"vegans who still eat bacon" are not even vegetarians, let alone vegan.

Thank you for your comments Kristi,

You will be pleased to hear that we have put the Baby Back Ribs back on our Bar Menu.

Hope to meet you the next time you come into Pacific Grill.

Hi Chef-

Thanks so much for the great suggestion of these restaurants. We live in Edgewood, frequent your place at least monthly, and are always looking for good places to eat in the Seattle area.

We have been on a new way of eating, "Eat for your Blood Type" which has been a great success. My husband has lost 14 pounds in 5 weeks and I have lost some also. We have been trying to think of some of your happy hour dishes that we could have like your sirloin sliders (without the buns as we cannot eat wheat), your seafood cocktail, the ribs (which aren't on the Happy Hour menu any longer), and your salads. We can eat all the meat, chicken, seafood we want but no dairy and as I said, no wheat. We love your pasta dish but that's out for now.

We have invited some friends to dine with us at PG who have been looking for a place in Tacoma to take an 80 year old friend for his Birthday. Of course I recommended Pacific Grill. We have been coming to PG since you opened and love your food, ambiance, and your friendly servers. We look forward to enjoying your "goodeats" at PG in the very near future.

Sincerely,
Kristi Cortinas

Vegans don't eat dairy (butter, cheese), so it sounds as if your friends are vegetarians. If I could eat what you described, I wouldn't mind being a vegetarian -- oh, except then I couldn't have the bacon or the duck confit!
