I'm NOT a vegan. Always, in the back of my mind, when contemplating a vegan or even vegetarian (who knew there was a difference?) meal, with some friend or other twisting my arm to imbibe same, was this thought: 'Ok, I'm open-minded, but there is just no way that it can equal a meal with meat.'
And, really, over the years, I've had some pretty yummy veg/an/etarian interludes, but nothing to flat out change my mind...
until North Star Diner.
Tiny. Mind. Blown.
Put it this way: I had the best beef and cheese nachos of my life there, and there was no beef or cheese anywhere near the property (well, there is a pizzeria next door).
I brought a teamster from our work, basically kicking and screaming, for lunch. In all his years driving he'd gone once for a meal off his map. Sushi, and he didn't like it.
He had the 'cheeseburger' at North Star, and I watched him like a hawk. The way the light came into his eyes at first bite, said everything.
After I found this place I ate there every chance I got, sometimes more than once a day. Consult above review for flavor of the place itself. She does not exaggerate.
I loooooove the place, and miss it dearly. read more
