I was skeptical about raw food but was willing to try it with a group of friends. It was an uncomfortable and unsatisfying experience. From the propaganda filled menu (first four pages of it, exalting the virtues of raw food and denouncing
""processed"" food, though I'm not sure how bananas are not considered raw) to the cold food that's normally served hot, I was unconvinced that raw food is a healthier or better way to eat. Even my vegeterian friend had a bemused look throughout the meal. I'm all for eating organic but the efforts to contort food at Juliano's just comes across as a pretentious gimmick than a true effort to cater to healthier lifestyles.
