Okay! I have to tell you how excited I was to realize there’s now a fast food restaurant devoted to plant based preparations, even if it’s a lot of fried junk food. What a joy! This all has to fall under the banner of weekend food, but when…

OMG. The cauliflower at this place. I can’t stop thinking about it. Cauliflower is sort of a mainstay these days with everyone trying to do their version of it, but these guys were knocking it out of the park. I even had to go up to the front…
Good plant based food. I really liked their “calamari” – tender, young coconut, battered and lightly fried. A pretty good approximation of “calamari” – and I’d be okay if you wanted to just tell me that it was young beer-battered coconut with smoked salt, gremolata, lime, and a…
Everyone’s comment about this place, “Why has it taken us so long to find this place?” Want a bunch of greasy Chinese food that tastes just like your old favorite really good greasy Chinese joint? Like I’m thinking about you, Yum-Yum House. This place nailed it. Indochine Vegan…

We unexpectedly started our LA adventures off with a bang. We’d spent the day driving down from San Francisco, finding our lodging and settling in a bit. Sweetie had found a place that sounded good, had good reviews and wasn’t too far from where we were staying. We…
I wasn’t able to post anything for the past few days, because boy was this a lot of work. Friday and Saturday were both about 11 hour days and that was in addition to all of the time that was also spent Monday through Thursday. It was worth…
