Hopkins Adds Veg Menu

To promote the benefits of eating a plant-based diet, Baltimore’s John Hopkins Hospital debuted a reinvented menu at its renovated Cobblestone Café. Starting yesterday, every Monday the café will feature entirely vegetarian options at its Wellness Corner. Although meat will be available in other areas of the cafeteria, Executive Chef Shawn Fields says he is “looking forward to helping customers learn that they’re not sacrificing taste by eating vegetarian meals,” like his vegetarian chili, which is already a menu mainstay. By joining the Meat-Free Mondays campaign, the hospital hopes to not only encourage healthier eating habits in patients and visitors, but also in its staff.
