Every year we try to shake up the categories a little. Sometimes readers don’t notice, and sometimes they completely freak out. One year we figured: Most places have a veggie option, so why have a category? People freaked out. This year Café Yumm takes the top spot in Best Vegetarian/Vegan and we admit, those glorious bowls of Yumm-sauce, rice and beans are something we crave. And yes, we did put the sauce first, because it’s some kind of nutritional yeast magic.
