You might not think that a restaurant called Prime Meats has a lot for vegetarians… and you’d be right. There were a few options on the lunch menu, which is when I stopped by. I wasn’t thrilled with the pretzel, which tasted stale and was almost rock hard. The avocado sandwich, however, was a resounding success. In addition to the creamy avocado there are shallots that have been battered and deep-fried until crispy, tied together with a spicy mayo sauce. It hit all the right notes: salty, spicy, crispy, and smooth. Prime Meats is part of the Frankie’s family of restaurants; I’ve been meaning to try them, and this was my first foray into that journey.

I also got a great vegetarian experience at Quality Meats, while Donny feasts on steak and frites. Check that place out!
I had Prime Meats in mind for Thanksgiving meal, but didn’t work out that day. Too bad.
Great blog Howard! You might be interested in a somewhat similar project I have over at my blog, “Without Bacon” — http://withoutbacon.wordpress.com . I review the vegetarian options at some of the top restaurants in New York (and beyond). Love to get any comments/feedback!
As a vegetarian married to a meatetarian, brunch at Prime Meats is a happy medium for my husband and me. When I’m on a healthier kick, I get the steel cut oats with an egg on the side. When I’m naughtier I get the egg biscuit sandwich and share some spatzle

@laurenlikestocook – thanks, i’ll check out their brunch. i’m a big fan of spaetzle.
