118 Degrees Description:
The Camp is a good locale for 118 Degrees, a raw food restaurant for health- and environmentally-conscious diners. The interior of this small space is warm, inviting and oh-so modern with dark woods, orange suede chairs, abstract art and an exhibition kitchen. Chef Jenny Ross uses her highly innovative techniques to prepare food that's never heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, which, raw foodists believe, is the point at which the most nutritive aspects of food are destroyed. This type of "living foods" cooking is way beyond vegetarian or even vegan, and is mostly done by using a combination of seeds and nuts for things like breads, crackers, doughs and cheeses. Smoothies are big at breakfast, but the lunch and dinner menus focus on what seems to be typical Euro-Cal fare like crêpes, pizzas, pastas, enchiladas and burritos. All dishes, however, are made from garden-fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. The small organic-only wine list features gems from around the world, including a sparkling wine and a port.
