Vegan Comfort Food, Colorado-style
Little did I know that in the few days I’d spend in Colorado I’d return east stuffed and plump like a prized tofurkey! Sluggish and satiated, here is part II of my Colorado vegan dining highlights.
VG Burgers is a vegan fast food joint in Boulder, CO that pulls out all the stops. With a satisfying selection of burgers, air-baked fries, agave-sweetened fountain sodas {Oogave} and vegan soft serve you are bound to find fulfillment. The menu is completely plants-based as is all the packaging! Yes, VG Burgers goes the extra mile by stocking only compostable cups, straws, containers and utensils and runs completely on wind-power. Ok, East coast- can we get on this?
I knew at first bite I’d return to WaterCourse Foods in Denver. Besides the staff and clientele all being adorable, the food was absolutely delish. So Wok Man and I hit the hip spot for dinner after a day trip in the mountains, knowing that a restaurant this spacious and relaxing with a veg menu so expansive and affordable with top-notch service didn’t really exist in New York City. Below, seitan buffalo wings with vegan ranch. So good! I can still feel the seitan expanding in my stomach.
Wok Man‘s Buffalo tofu sandwich with the greasiest, most delicious onion rings. Superlatives, superlatives, etc, etc.
My attempt at taking it a bit easy: the Macro plate. Grilled tofu cooked in orange ginger sauce served over brown rice with steamed chard, arame, and homemade pickled cabbage.
Dessert fresh from their all-vegan bakery a few blocks away: coconut creme pie! with a squirt of Soyatoo.
