Crossroads: Gourmet Vegan
Founder of Crossroads Chef Tal Ronnen, along with partners Parnell Delcham and Jennifer Delcham (co-founders of United Culinary Artists), have created what is possibly the most innovative healthy food to hit the Los Angeles market in decades. Regardless if you’re a meat eater or not, Crossroads restaurant is a must. Start with some lentil “bread,” “oysters” made from artichoke, quinoa vodka cocktails and “crab cakes,” you will love it all, everything is delicious.
“Oysters”

He continued being talked about after catering Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s wedding, Arianna Huffington’s party at the Democratic National Convention, and a U.S. Senate dinner. A graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute, Tal conducts master vegetarian workshops for students and staff at Le Cordon Bleu campuses nationwide. He is currently the consulting chef of LYFE Kitchen in Palo Alto, California, and a collaborating chef at The Wynn and Encore hotels in Las Vegas.
