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…
Named with a playful take on the road that courses through the heart of Solvang, Root 246 was a very pleasant surprise among the tourist kitsch of Danish-influenced Solvang, California. The menu offered six vegan items and we had five of them. It was a pleasure to see…
I want to say that this seemed like the first time I’ve had a vegan ramen that actually had the unctuousness that pork ramen typically has. The spicy ramen at this totally vegan counter only spot in downtown LA’s Grand Central Market was an absolute delight. I loved…

Just go. This was one of the very best meals I have ever had, period. Full stop. I’d been getting excited in the days leading up to our reservation, reading and re-reading the menu. Each time gasping a little bit and truly in a quandary over what I…
Of all the places that we tried on the road, I wished would have had a bit more time to spend at Laffa in Tulsa’s Brady Arts District just outside of the downtown core. First of all, their menu, which happily runs the gamut from all over the…
I’m not sure why, but when I woke up Sunday morning in bleak, dreary Gallup, NM, (sorry Gallup CoC) I wanted a donut. I didn’t say anything. It’s not helpful to want things you (think you) can’t have. Donuts are not very whole food plant based, since they…
It’s not always that easy to find quality eats when you’re on the road. You can only suck it up and choke down a veggie burger from BK just so many times. It’s also not easy to figure out when you’re going to get to eat, when it…
