— the location of the vegetarian speed dating night — is a vegetarian
restaurant on Queen Street West, not far from my house. Speaking as a
happy eater of meat, I like the food there; it’s good enough to change
vegetarian dining from sanctimonious misery to a tasty and satisfying
side-dish-only meal. Fressen is also German for “eat”, or more
specifically, “eat heartily” or “gorge”. Not without some frickin’ meat, bubby.
I once dated a vegetarian and often took her here. In between bites of
their delicious portobello “steak”, I’d tease her — a biology major in
college — by reminding her that evolution would never have happened
without carnivores: “After all, it doesn’t take much brains to sneak up
on a carrot.”

This is too funny! A bunch of librarians will descend on Fressn in a few weeks. They started advertising the dinner the other day. I cracked up when I read this post.
Luckily, Tequila Bookworm is nearby, and they have roasted marshmallow ice cream to act as a balance for all that rampant veganism!
but what about changes in climate
what about that, huh?
