Clean Plate update

Clean Plate update
What began as a temporary raw-food restaurant and farm-to-table experiment in NoDo this summer will become a locally sourced vegan restaurant in south Omaha in the next three months.
Operator Elle Lien said Clean Plate — or Clean Plate GOOD FOOD, as the signs will read — should be open for lunch and dinner at 1801 Vinton St. by the new year.
Lien anticipates a small menu of all-vegan seasonally inspired fare. She said she'll carry over a few of the popular raw dishes from her monthlong occupation of the Empty Room. But most items will be cooked and the menu will change daily.
Lien said she's working to restore some of the building's historic details and plans a kitchen garden in the side yard. She said she'll share the building with Tugboat Presents, an Omaha offshoot of a Lincoln art gallery.
