For all the animal lovers out there (or those just looking to try something meat-free), the Chippewa Valley has a bunch of vegetarian-friendly restaurants. Chef Amy Huo’s food truck, Locavore Mobile Kitchen, took first place in this poll on the strength of its veggie burger and slew of side options. Coming in second is HuHot Mongolian Grill (3805 Oakwood Mall Drive, Eau Claire), which has a plethora of veggie alternatives to choose from. The Raw Deal (603 Broadway St. S, Menomonie), which placed third, has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, with emphasis on the raw and organic. — Emilee Wentland
