Memphis, Tenn. -- The vegan food revolution has taken hold in every corner of America, and nowhere is that trend more evident (and delicious!) than at Memphis' Imagine Vegan Cafe. That's why Imagine is in the running for a Libby Award in the category of Best Vegan Local Restaurant from peta2, PETA's youth division. Now in their seventh year, the 2012 Libby Awards ("Libby" for "liberation," as in animal liberation) include 22 categories.

"More and more young people are insisting that the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, and, especially, the food they eat reflect their strong feelings in favor of animal rights," says PETA Youth Marketing Manager Emily Rodriguez. "All our nominees are winners because they're meeting the demands of compassionate kids and helping animals at the same time."

Everything on the menu at Imagine is carefully prepared using fine and fresh ingredients. peta2's favorites include the crispy and delicious vegan bacon potato skins, loaded vegan pizzas, creamy mac 'n' (dairy-free) cheese, the gluten-free Southern fried "chicken" nuggets served with homemade ranch dressing, and the hearty veggie burger—possibly the best in town. Enjoy good music with your meal? You've come to the right place: Imagine hosts its own in-house concerts.

Voting ends on December 17. Winners will be chosen by peta2 based on several factors, including vote count, and will be announced on December 19. See the full contest details here.
