Definitely the final (and ironically the first) way of eating. Now all I need is faith and I am on my way to a much healthier and happier person. Very informative website!

I feel the whole concept of Ecopolitan is awesome, VERY positively rightous! I just started working at Ecopolitan's kitchen with no prior experience in raw food preparation, and I must say I'm in awe! I find both the food and the place truly inspiring!

Show more pictures of Joe!! He's so cute!!

that sparkly nathan squeezed my juices (ahem) just the way i would have. precise, perfect, balanced, and divinely yummy...am i still talking about my juice?!

I can't wait to visit Ecopolitan! Sounds awesome!

My name is Myron Levinson and my home town is St. Louis, Mo. I was visiting a dear friend of mine ,Sheila Faulkner, who shared how wonderful the restaurant is. During my visit with her Dec.31-Jan.4,2004, I had the opportunity to visit and enjoy 2 fabulous meals. The 1st meal was a special of the day and that was the Tacos. The next one was the Living Pizzas, I had the Marinara. They were great meals and I wish that St. Louis, had a restaurant like yours here. I also would like to share that the people who work there that I met were just as nice which may experience wonderful. Continue with your success and sharing the quality of raw foods to the pubic. Sheila, thank you for sharing the Ecopolitan experience with me.

Hello,

I co-own and manage a raw juice and smoothie bar in Cincinnati, OH called Suttschenko's Pure Juice Company, LLC, run by Aaron Suttschenko. Our store phone is (513) 631-6999.. Aaron has been raw for over three years and we have been in business for about 18 months. I am older (50) and he (25) is my inspiration and mentor in moving more and more to 100% raw. My background is in professional healthcare and I am convinced that nothing is more powerful than detoxing and life food for "curing" and erradicating degenerative disease, as well as restoring our health and vititly as a species.

My mission is to create "a revitalized natural world for myself and everyone".

My current vision is to create "the Starbuck's of the Raw Food industry", a national franchise called Paradise Found, LLC (which owns Suttschenko's - a prototype) to make the raw life style available and practical to the general population and assist in our societies transition to a harmonious relationship wtih Gaia, our Earth. If you are interested in assisting in this vision please contact me, send resume or other info about yourself and your personal dream/vision/mission piece. Thank you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

This is a great step towards the support to vegeeises... THnaks

I would like to know how I can become an Ecopolitan vegan in Hammond, IN

Hugh McCaffery from bruce WI

I love being able to go to Ecopolitan and not worry about what I order. It's all vegan! It's all healthy! Whenever guests are in town I take them to Ecopolitan to show them just how good vegan food can be.

I love Ecopolitan so much that it played a pivotal role on the day I proposed to my girlfriend (she said yes, by the way). We went out to eat and the staff served Jennifer (my fiance) the third chapter of a story I wrote along with the food (in the chapter, we went to Ecopolitan). I want to thank the staff for being so helpful and responsive to my specific needs.

See you soon!

Great site and info... I keep checking back every week. I am totally raw and been so for a year. Read my story on my website.

Hello to all fellow raw fooders from the first 100% organic vegan raw wellness resort spa and holistic healing center in asia. The Farm, aka Hippocrates Institute of Asia. If you like places like the Ecopolitan, you'll like The Farm.
As one visitor put it: "If you like life, you'll like this place"

This is SO, so rad. Does the Famous Ranon work there?

I visited Eco Saturday evening. One of the best dining experiances I have ever had. The food, service and atmosphere was all top notch. I am neither a vegan or a raw foodist, but I will patronize Ecopolitan every time I'm in the Twin Cities.

just checking stuff out on the world wide web. GOOD STUFF!

Please open a restaurant in Nashville, TN. We need you!!!!!

Hi--I'm not trying to spam you, but I did want to let you know about us--wer'e an women's organic clothing company in New Hampshire. Our clothes are 100% certified organic cotton ahd hemp--both color grown and low-impact dyed. We have a few things that would make nifty waitstaff garments, if you're inclined to outfit your waitstaff. A few things we're discontinuing and can offer well below even our wholesale prices. Thanks, Maisie Keith--your restauratnt looks fantastic!

I love Ecopolitan! I go there about once a week. It is my favorite restaurant. I am a vegetarian going vegan...so far I don't drink milk and rarely eat cheese because I don't like it much, but this place serioulsy has me thinking of going raw too. I love this place and every time I eat there, I don't feel like, bloated full, it's just a comfortable full and I feel full for the rest of the day. I recommend this place to anyone, except maybe my daughter...hehe. She loves the hummus, but her taste buds aren't used to the other foods, it's cute, but she is only 2. But she's a vegetarian, too!

sue ramsden from wisconsin rapids

your restaurant sounds very interesting..are you hiring 16yr olds by any chance?

My family and I dined at your restaurant for the first time this evening and we were very impressed! Your food was delicious. We are new to the vegan lifestyle and the transition has been made easier with your fine establishment! Mari and Cindy were very helpful in answering our "newbie" questions and provided excellent service. You will be seeing our gradually slimming faces in the future! Thank you!

I love this food!! The best food on the planet. I am from Minnesota originally and wish I would have known about this restaurant when I lived there - maybe I would have never left. Thank you for all the time and money you put into this venture - it is greatly appreciated!

I am very interested in going RAW but really have no idea where to start. I am thinking of doing a fast for 3 days (with juice of a lemon 8-12 glasses a day). Is there any information that you can send me?

THE VAST EXPANSE
I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect.
It is the prayer of my innermost being to realize my supreme identity in the liberated play of consciousness, the Vast Expanse. Now is the moment, Here is the place of Liberation.

Witness the contents of mind, the visions and sounds, the thoughts, as clouds passing through the vast expanse - the sky-like nature of mind. The rootedness of Being is in emptiness, clarity and awareness: unborn, unspoilt, stainlessly pure.

The infinite vibratory levels, the dimensions of interconnectedness are without end. There is nothing independent. All beings and things are residents in your awareness.

I subject my awareness to the perfection of being, the perfection of wisdom and perfection of love, all of these being co-present in the Vast Expanse. I share this panorama of Being and appreciate all I can share it with...the seamless interweaving of consciousness with each moment.

Create perfection wherever you go with your awareness. That is why this teaching is admired by artists--they sense the correctness of the response to life as creative. Life is infinite creative play. Enjoyment and participation in this creative play is the artists profound joy. We co-author every moment with universal creativity.

To bare our souls is all we ask, to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us. Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them, make offerings to them--these nature spirits who call us here--sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love.

I am an intersecting kaleidoscope of Being in a rainbow refractive wave pattern: a corpuscle of light on the ocean...the transparency of my body with the rocks...sometimes the only way to summarize my feelings is to draw--to collapse the frenzy in my limbs enough to make a mark out of profound appreciation for my existence.

Share your presence with others, no boundaries, completely openly lovingly. Love is what makes us alive, that is why we feel so alive when we love. Service is being available to love. Life is the combustion of love. That we love ourselves here, that is the true magnificence in the mountains of being. We are constantly drawing the line between love and not love--enter into the Non-duality Zone, and all judgements dissolve in the Vast Expanse.

It's as though we are co-conspirators of consciousness--everyone, everywhere, everywhen, mixing up our openable minds. It's as though we could gather clouds in the sky and people into our lives. Like an eruption of consciousness, we discover the most important force is love. Experience yourself as the Source and appreciate every moment as perfection. Sunrise--Sunset. Thank you, Thank you, Creator, profound unstoppable connectedness of all beings, pattern to everything, most radical no-thing, the Vast Expanse.

I ate at your restaurant for the first time today. It was wonderful! I feel alive and I wish I lived closer to the restaurant so that I could eat breakfast, lunch & dinner there. Thank you for introducing me to the Vegan world. Your web-site is great.

I am interested in becoming healthier. As I learn more, I am truely awakened more everyday.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I was really excited when I learned that a Raw-Vegan restaurant existed in Minneapolis, but wasn't sure what to expect. I had high hopes, but you have consistently exceeded my expectations! Ecopolitan is terrific! Thank you to whomever is behind it and to everyone who is a part of it! You're the best!

My husband and I ate there some time ago and we talked to the waitstaff about recipes, she thought that there soon could be a cook book. Is there one? We were especially interested in the items in the pate sampler.

I found this restaurant online and it is my DREAM restaurant! 100% vegan , organic, and raw! what could be more perfect! AND they have my most favourite dish in the whole whorld, which made it so hard for me to go vegan: fettechini alfredo! too bad it's 17 hours from my house! if anyone wants to house a desperate vegan who wants to go to this restaurant for a week straight, just lemme know!

please post your hours somewhere obvious on this web site so i don't piss away GAS to find out by driving to your space or spend my a.m. lookin on every page here for yer hours!

please add me to your mailing list.

Folks - keep up the excellent work. I'm going to suggest you on Chowhounds.com to a slow-foods writer visiting in January, hopefully you'll get a visit.

absolutely delicious and fabulous & engaged staff too.

Hi, thank you. excellent flavour good atmosphere. I'm truly turned on by your foodand can't believe you've been here under my nose for all these years and I didn't go here. I'll be back. I've moved to Santa Fe and will keep an eye on your site- thank you CJD

I would like to know if you would be interested in a new drink that just came out in Jan. This is 90% organic. Contains 19 fruits & berrys from around the world. The drink also contains the acclaimed acai berry from the Amazon Rainforest. I am the only Indepent Distributor in Minnesota.

I didn't find a link to the schedule of lectures. Is it on the website?

Anne McNamara from Minneapolis

You should add this web site to your resources page: www.thegreenguide.org. It's a local group educating about sustainability and living lighter on the Earth. They have a Twin Cities Green Pages also. Their next book will be out November 2005 and they will be hosting the 1st Annual Green Gifts Fair.

I've been eating predominately raw for over a year and I've eaten at almost all of the raw restaurants in California. And, after eating at Ecopolitan a dozen or so times, I must stay that Ecopolitan is the BEST RAW FOOD RESTAURANT west of the Mississippi and possibly the best in the country.

carol edel

Wonderful! We had a great lunch. This was our first experience with raw foods like this and we felt energized afterwards. Thanks for an excellent meal!

i clicked on the little white"ofek" at the bottom and was swamped by the deluge of filth and hate. hitler? star-shields of david? who's in charge here, ludicrous fartakhan? nomad? same idiot?

Ginette from Winnipeg MB, Canada

please put a hyperlink to your news letter somewhere on your main web site so I can read your letter and refer it to friends who are not currently recieving it.

i see that on may 20, 2005, vered from israel wrote some pithy comments about your website. hitler in uniform, star of david, the usual garbage from self-hating jews. don't you know how despicable it is??? who's the boss??? FLUSH IT OUT!!!

I moved from Minneapolis 3 years ago and really miss being able to feel like a king and have the best food in the world lovingly prepared for me.

I like your website ,and like to communicate with everyone on this issue!

Great site!

I dined at your great raw restaurant while visiting friends from St.Paul, MN.
Everything was great, the energy, the food, the atmosphere, the service.

The follows isn't exactly a 'FAQ', but an attempt to give some answers to the questions that face those who want to install satellite TV at their home.

I have a hard time believing that people can survive on only fruits and vegetables. Don't you ever want a Big Mac? I would like to say this is possible however I can barely get my 6 year old to eat one green bean without crying. Do you think he needs more meat? Also how many years has this been tested? My grandmother is 93 years old and lived off the fat of the land. She has never had a major surgery or health problem. I am fat. I like food of all sorts. I especially love to nurse a good bowl of ice cream. Any suggestions to get me started on a healthier diet? One last thing, the price for your food is really too high, would you ever consider having a budget menu or a senior menu. When I saw the picture of the little kid with that huge salad I thought the salad was going to eat him! It was huge! Well, have a great day and peace and blessings to all.

Hi - I ate twice at Ecopolitan on a recent trip to Minneapolis. Food, service, atmosphere, staff all great! I will certainly return when in Mn.

Thank you for your site! I have come acorss a most amazingly raw idea at ideashappen.msn.com search for sprouts
i hope you will enjoy my site also :satellitetvland.250free.com/satellite-tv-news.html

Sounds very cool - I recently moved to Mankato, MN, and even more recently have decided to lean toward a vegan diet. Next time I go up to the cities I'll have to stop by!

Great Website!

I am wondering about the uncooking class. I have a friend who wants to come.
she has been vegetarian for 18 years but she is deaf. Are you willing to hire a sign language interpreter for her so she can participate? Can you let me know. She wants to come to the August uncooking class. She and I eat at Ecopolitan and love it. You can email me or her. Mt name is Melissa and I am at Aboudm1234@aol and Holly, my friend, is at lionie98@hotmail.com please reply so she knows how to plan. She can find the interpreter cheaper that you could hire one. Thank you, Melissa
