I’d add 74th St. Ale House in Phinney Ridge to that list of best veggie burgers. It is served on a flat bread, and has the best sauce, similar to Red Mill’s famous Mill sauce, but without the smokey, spice. Gulp.

Yes, major lemon zest non-supporter right here! Love cilantro, abhor all zest.

I response to the cilantro, I read this book, Survival of the Sickest,
http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780060889661-0
it is full of crazy crazy evolutionary things that affect some of us and not others with funny reasons why.

Finally something to back up my anti-cilantro taste buds!
Here in Southern Arizona it’s very difficult to avoid cilantro… even the guacamole that’s mixed in with the carne asade burritos contains cilantro… bah humbug!

I had a friend who was adverse to zest of any kind. Even if it was just a pinch of zest in a large batch of something, she couldn’t stand it.
Myself? I heart the zest and the cilantro.
WRT sourdough starter, throw a raisin into the flour/water mixture for no fail, quick results. Or email me and I’ll send whoever wants some for the price of postage.

Love lemon zest and cilantro. Absolutely, hate orange zest and never use it. But I’m also not a fan of orange juice in any food–it’s good on it’s own to drink though.
