Mario Batali Restaurants Embrace Meatless Mondays

Eating less meat offers environmental and health benefits. As more and more diners become interested in vegetarian food options, 14 of Mario Batali's restaurants embrace Meatless Mondays.

"The fact is, most people in the U.S. eat way more meat than is good for them or the planet," maintains Batali. "Asking everyone to go vegetarian or vegan isn't a realistic or attainable goal. But we can focus on a more plant-based diet. That’s why I’m such a big believer in the Meatless Monday movement!"

Every Monday, Mario Batali's restaurants will serve at least two vegetarian options, including entrees, pastas and pizzas.
