Sunshine Inn: Eggplant Parmesan

When the Sunshine Inn opened in 1974, it started out hardcore, strict vegetarian – no meat, no liquor, no coffee, no dessert. At the time, it was the only vegetarian restaurant in St. Louis. Over the years, menu offerings were increased to include seafood, poultry, full bar service and desserts.
