  • Sharon created one of the first websites to focus on plant-based restaurants in Los Angeles. More than one restaurant owner thanked her for her reviews and for putting them on the culinary map.
  • She has explored vegan cuisine on four continents and is particularly fond of the vegan soul food in Oakland, the meatless currywurst in Berlin, the vegetable and quinoa-stuffed salteñas in Cochabamba, and the world's best falafel and hummus in Tel-Aviv.
  • A feature about Sharon in "Self Magazine" exuberantly stated, "Culinary adventuress Sharon Rose scours the City of Angels for tasty vegetarian fare, relaying her finds in mouthwatering details. The photos alone are enough to convert devoted meat eaters into leaf lovers."
