Plant-based dining has moved well beyond the traditional side salad. Today, vegetables, legumes, grains and meat-free proteins form the foundation of everything from colorful bowls to Italian pasta dishes and Mexican favorites. Some diners avoid animal products entirely, while others simply want to incorporate more vegetables into their meals. That distinction matters because vegetarian dishes may contain dairy or eggs, while vegan preparations exclude all animal-derived ingredients. Across the Ohio Valley, the Best of the Best Reader's Choice Awards recognizes establishments specializing in meat-free meals.
