1. VEGAN SOUL FOOD CUISINE RESTAURANT NOW OPEN!!
We are pleased to spread the word about the newest restaurant serving 100% vegan fare with soulful flare--The Land Of Kush. Located on 840 North Eutaw Street in Baltimore, the restaurant had its soft opening in early January and has since received rave reviews from the community. With vegetarian cuisine such as vegan BBQ ribs, curry 'chikun', candied yams, smoked collard greens, and a handful of delicious desserts, they aim to satisfy and succeed at rounding out a great meal. Open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., walk-ins are welcome and they offer take out and catering. On Friday February 25th The Land of Kush is hosting a Vegan Drinks Social from 7-10 p.m.

A big shout out to Mark Rifkin, MS, RD, LN, who represented The Vegetarian Resource Group at the Beth El Green Expo on January 30th at the Beth El Congregation in Baltimore, Maryland.
