Where to get the best vegan and vegetarian food in Houston: The Full Menu

While Houston is perhaps best known for dishes that include (or center around) meat or seafood -- like barbecue, fajitas, or Viet-Cajun crawfish -- meat doesn't have to steal show, especially if you don't eat it.

In this month's installment of The Full Menu, food writers discuss some of their favorite restaurants to get vegetarian and vegan food around the city, and the options are many -- when that wasn't the case just a decade or two ago.

In the audio above, we hear from Eric Sandler of CultureMap Houston, Felice Sloan of the Swanky Maven lifestyle blog, and freelance food writer and editor David Leftwich.
