No, we haven't been there, but now that there's on in Berkeley
I imagine we won't be able to hold out indefinitely.
Another place I haven't been to that doubtless has a lot
of raw food is Medicine Eat Station. Which reminds me
you might try including agar among your raw food ingredients.
I have had some really good Zen temple style dishes containing
agar. But again, I have no offer of immediate recipes...
