Vegetarians and vegans readers flooded the Going Out Gurus with nominations for a list of "Essential Vegetarian Eats," and the results turned out to be fairly caloric. There are only two salads in the bunch: the Andy Shallal-approved beet salad at Cafe Saint-Ex, and Zorba's Cafe's twist on a Greek salad. The rest of the list is heavy on meatless indulgences, like Sticky Fingers brownies, vegan mac and cheese at Soul Vegetarian's Exodus and General Tso's Surprise/Magic at Sunflower Vegetarian. —Adele Chapin [WaPo]
