One of the things that we’ve liked about being in Southern California is the proximity to the beach. Saturday and Sunday mornings, when it’s not angry rush hour, it takes only about 15 minutes to drive out to Santa Monica and stare out at the awesome Pacific. For…

When we got down here for the week, I was sure I was going to be looking to have salads and bowls and really simple meals all week. Somehow, we decided to venture up to Studio City for a meal and I am so glad we did. We…
This sad, death throes seeming marketing attempt to draw attention to meat seems to fall flat in my mind. Not much of this is actually made of meat, the exterior and top is actually plant matter. Why not just eat a carrot? It’s not like one goes to…
Ugh, This was one of the worst things I had in the past week. I just don’t like it when a burrito is that soggy, I tend to think they should be more firm and sort of stand up on their own. Plus there were too hot zones…
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…

Not sure if this was really vegan and I don’t know why it would have to be any other way. Some sources cite that it is supposed to be vegan. It’s pea soup, which I imagine to be peas and seasoning. Thing is, their seasoning contains lactose for…
We were out walking the Colonel late one night in downtown LA and we come across a closed store front for a place that when open, purports to sell vegan ice cream. Makes furious mental sticky note and sticks to forehead. The next night it’s all about where…
This is also set in an unassuming strip mall behind the Walt Disney Concert Hall. After having been to Shojin for our first meal, I wasn’t sure there was going to be much left downtown to try, and certainly nothing else could impress me the way I’d been…
