How did I miss this post from the lovely and talented epicurian ms. stolpman? I honestly thought that was egg and sausage - even close up - until I read the caption. I amazingly have a little pocket money now. Now I just have to find someone to date that is worth going to moto with!

I have a friend who last year had a vegetarian tasting at Moto. http://twobites.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/a-vegetarian-at-moto-the-photos/

Hi, Bekki, Hmmm, they were extremely accommodating when it came to guests (I was there during their meeting to discuss dining dietary restrictions). I saw them re-make dishes just for people who had low sodium diets or were sensitive to specific spices. I would imagine this is a request they see relatively often and one for which they have a good response (hopefully in the form of an acceptable menu for vegetarians). I'd give them a call and ask them and, if you make reservations, let them know when you make the reservations. They certainly seemed very, very accommodating. -L.

My husband has been dying to try moto, but he's a vegetarian (well, he'll eat fish like twice a year, but he's definitely not vegan). Do you think moto's menu would work for him?

L - nicely, nicely done. I especially love the captions; excellent descriptions, and easy to "digest" (oh, am I punny). Great work.

No doubt, moto is really super fun and it's delicious but when you have the fun and deliciousness and the tab is $350 for two people and on the way home you feel like stopping for a burger because you're still hungry....it makes you think that maybe they should start putting a bread basket with copious amounts of butter on the table. Or something. Nice photos, L.!!!!
