In town for just one day, and we managed to eat at Monty's Blue Plate Diner twice. We love American-style vegetarian food, and Monty's has about half the menu devoted to some particularly good vegetarian fare, with the other half regular meat-based food.

Monty's is hit or miss. I've blah meals, I've had great. But it's now become tradition that every time my best friend visits from out of town, we have to go there and get a Walnut Feta Dill Burger, it is awesome! Just get your sauce on the side!
