Dining in the raw should be in full swing by Valentine's Day. Don't get overly excited. This is not dining in the nude but rather consumption of uncooked food. The premise is that heating food to more than 115 degrees destroys nutrients and that "dead food creates dead results," the owner says. Although raw-food restaurants have been big on the West Coast for some time, Pure's Web site touts this not only as Dallas' first raw-food eatery but also the first in Texas. Some menu items: corn tamale with raw cocoa mole, pizza on almond crust, and red beet ravioli with macadamia herb cheese and marinated mushrooms.
