About the Author
Jim Frost was born and raised in a meat-and-potatoes suburb of Dallas, Texas. A college course in world geography led him to the conclusion that a plant-based diet would become a global necessity in the years to come. Although he is not a full-fledged vegetarian, Jim’s love of innovative, organic cooking led him to hit the road in search of quality meatless cuisine. These discoveries are detailed in his new guide, "The Artichoke Trail: A Guide to Vegetarian Restaurants, Organic Food Stores & Farmers’ Markets in the US." Jim lives in San Francisco.

The Artichoke Trail- Not A Trail I'd Follow,
By jay govinda (tucker, ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Artichoke Trail: A Guide to Vegetarian Restaurants, Organic Food Stores & Farmer's Markets in the US (Hunter Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I found this book to be much below my expectations. The listings were very oudated, and way too many of the restaurants reviewed or listed were not vegetarian restaurants, but what the author considered "natural". The listings did not indicate if a restaurant was vegan, vegetarian, or if it served Meat of Fish, and the natural food stores listings was very incomplete,with no directions or indications of facilities offered as in The Tofu Tollbooth by Dar Williams. I retuned the book.

One of the best, truly and innovator of his time,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Artichoke Trail: A Guide to Vegetarian Restaurants, Organic Food Stores & Farmer's Markets in the US (Hunter Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I was highly pleased with the content and organization of this book. I travel a lot so I have so far been able to visit at least 5 of these restaurants and have been quite pleased and not too surprised with the service, atmosphere, and food, that I received. My favorite part of the book however is how it really marks our culture and brings out such an important and often overlooked factor: hunger! Vegetarianism in the United States is growing and is truly transforming us--teaching us to look at food differently which is so needed where still so many people go hungry because of such impoverished food politics. At any rate, the book to me is likened to a good movie review-it doubles the excitement of a film which can be experienced on so many levels--yes i'm an aesthete. Good book! I'll look for more from Frost.
