All dishes were 100% vegetarian, some were vegan. Healthy Hedon, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood (across the parking lot from the Half Price Books on Belmont Ave. E), opened in June 2006 and closed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/the-healthy-hedon-closed-seattle\"><strong>apparently in October last year<\/strong><\/a>. I dined there a few times and always enjoyed it. Then why didn&#8217;t I eat there more often? Because Capitol Hill is outside of the neighborhoods I usually haunt, and because Healthy Hedon&#8217;s prices were kind of expensive. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Good vegan news:<\/strong> The fabulous, 100% vegan Pizza Pi has a new &#8220;meatball&#8221; sub sandwich. The Boyfriend (TB) tried it last night. The meatball sub is natively plain, with chopped sausage, a yummy sauce, and cheese. But you can add to it (that costs extra, of course). TB added onion, green pepper, and mushroom to his. I tried a bite, it was delicious. Tami and Colin, Pizza Pi&#8217;s owners, are also working on a Philly cheesesteak-style sandwich. I can see I have a lot of &#8220;field work&#8221; to do in the coming weeks. Pizza Pi&#8217;s Web site is still in limbo. Tami and Colin are trying to get it running again. In the meantime, you can e-mail them at PizzaPiVegan@aol.com. Pizza Pi is in the U District at 5500 University Way NE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other restaurant updates:<\/strong> Tibet First, in the U District on 12th Ave. E. (around the corner from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chacocanyoncafe.com\/\">Chaco Canyon Cafe<\/a><\/strong>), has also closed. Tibet First was vegetarian- and vegan-friendly. A sushi restaurant will replace it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/jhanjay.com\/\">Jhanjay Vegetarian Thai Cuisine&#8217;s Web site<\/a><\/strong> is now working. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/steve.isitfridayyet.info\/?p=119\">Jhanjay<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s menu is 100% vegetarian with many vegan options.
