Maharaja
Bad news about Maharaja, the restaurant has closed. Hate to hear about a vegetarian restaurant that didn't make it. I understand that they still do catering.
wscf tv 31
Susie and Eric were interview by Patricia Lewis of "Space Coast Kids" on WSCF TV channel 31. This is not currently a cable station, so get your rabbit ears out and try to pick it up (south Brevard). The show airs at 9:30 AM; and 1:30, 5:30 and 9:30 PM. It runs all week long starting Tuesday.
It was a six minute segment about vegetarianism and kids. Pat called me about the show because of our press release.
