Atlanta -- The vegan food revolution has taken hold in every corner of America, and nowhere is that trend more evident (and delicious!) than in Atlanta's all-vegan Dough Bakery. That's why Dough Bakery is in the running for a Libby Award in the category of Best Vegan Bakery from peta2, PETA's youth division. Now in their seventh year, the 2012 Libby Awards ("Libby" for "liberation," as in animal liberation) include 22 categories.

"More and more young people are insisting that the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, and, especially, the food they eat reflect their strong feelings in favor of animal rights," says PETA Youth Marketing Manager Emily Rodriguez. "All our nominees are winners because they're meeting the demands of compassionate kids and helping animals at the same time."

Dough Bakery uses local and organic ingredients whenever possible. Among the bakery's many delights, peta2's favorites include the gluten-free sweet-potato pie with oat pecan date crust, the blueberry buckle coffee cake, and the jalapeño cheddar scones. For breakfast, you can't go wrong with the sticky buns. Lunch specialties include sandwiches made at the Gutenfleischers all-vegan deli located inside Dough Bakery. These sandwiches include the Stroganoff Sub, made with a Dough Bakery hoagie roll and topped with grilled onions, creamy dill, and stroganoff sauce, and the Pimento Cheeze Sandwich on any choice of homemade bread.

Voting ends on December 17. Winners will be chosen by peta2 based on several factors, including vote count, and will be announced on December 19. See the full contest details here.
