"There are probably a plethora of vegetarian choices in Asheville and normally as a mixed couple (I'm vegetarian, my husband a meat eater) we seek out places to suit both of our food choices. However, my husband wanted to try a purely vegetarian meal and I thought the menu and options at Laughing Seed were fantastic! We shared an appetizer cheese and fauxcuterie plate. It was very creative! The pickled celery and mushrooms were delicious! The cheeses were fantastic. Both my husband and I thought the faux pepperoni was a fail for us but it had more to do with the texture the taste was remarkably pepperoni like. I had a small Laughing Seed Salad which was a very generous size for a small. I added avocado and feta and again, I was impressed with the amount that they gave me. My husband tried the Harmony Bowl with grilled tempeh. Again it was very generous size and his first experience with tempeh. I tasted it and thought it was delicious. I don't think he'll become vegetarian any time soon but he enjoyed his vegetarian meal at Laughing Seed. Oh and I also had their Chianti Classico I don't often see a good chianti on your average wine list and this glass of wine was remarkable. I really enjoyed it."
