Suffolk County is on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, and encompasses 10 separate towns and villages. Many restaurants are in Suffolk County, some of which serve organic food. Organic restaurants primarily use fresh ingredients that have been grown locally, without the use of toxic pesticides or fertilizers that could leave harmful residue on the food or damage the fertility of the soil.
Tula Kitchen is in Bay Shore, along the south shore of Long Island. The menu features several vegan options such as tofu veggie crab cakes served with mashed sweet potato, roasted carrots and a dairy-free tartar sauce; and seared organic seitan with vegetables, coconut basmati rice and Thai peanut sauce. Meat entrees include the Greek chicken platter, which is marinated grilled chicken, pita bread, tziki sauce and Greek salad and Jackie's famous turkey loaf, named for the owner and chef, Jackie Sharlup. The appetizer menu features the wine flight, which is the customer's choice of three wines served with dried fruit and spiced nuts.
