I’m continuing to write about restaurants offering fantastic vegetarian options for what may be an herbivore’s biggest challenge, Thanksgiving.  This week, Josiah Citrin’s Melisse in Santa Monica posted its Thanksgiving menu, which can be done traditionally, or completely vegetarian.  The three course menu offers two starter choices, a pumpkin soup or a fall green salad, a main course of Wild Mushroom, Sweet Onion and Burrata Torte Autumn Herb Jus with a choice of three of “Josiah’s Mom’s traditional” sides from a selection of seven, and a number of desserts including Chocolate Soufflé Cake Chocolate Sorbet, Praline Sauce, Pudwill Berries, and an apple, pecan, and pumpking pie. Price is a reasonable $89 for adults, $42 for kids and it is served from 3:00 to 7:30.
