Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
To Guanajuato!
We found a gem of an eatery in Guadalajara: Vegitariano Zanahoria. What a pleasant experience the old man with the salad tie gave us. Going out of his way to explain which dishes were free of dairy, I decided on the breakfast special: an enchilada stuffed with soy beef and vegetables and covered with tofu [...]
Guadalajara, Mexico
After fighting strong head winds south from Chicago’s O’Hare, I finally arrived in Guadalajara, Mexico, a modern city in Mexico’s center. The congested anomalous 6-laned highway into Guadalajara’s center was bustling with peppy 4-cyclindered cars, cab-heavy pick-ups and motorbikes. The smell of exhaust and industry took me back to my time in Thailand. Passing a [...]
Hola México
This morning I am bound for Mexico to celebrate Dia de los Muertos in Guanajuato with friends. Though, of course, I will be reporting on my vegan options south of the border, which will include large quantities of Mexcal and straight from the blue agave cactus nectar, no doubt. I have been wanting to visit [...]
VeganMoFo #27: Breaking the Fast
Now that I am settled into the New York minute, I can reminisce about my last amazing eat in Seattle. Breakfast not at Tiffany’s but at Joey’s. Preparing biscuits from scratch along with a killer tempeh and mushroom gravy and a side of shredded hash browns, he went all out. Not since he called this [...]
VeganMoFo #26: What Would the Community Think?
I have never been to Urban Rustic, the localvore sustainable cafe and grocer just a few steps from Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s splendorous McCarren Park. They’ve been around for many years now, with their well-designed menu and website looking all ideal and awesome. And I must say I am impressed. Their space is built from Adirondack wood [...]
Vegan MoFo #25: Pacific Northwest Vegan Reporting: Seattle
Mighty O of Seattle. The best vegan donuts I’ve tried so far. Granted I have yet to hit any other solely vegan donut shop, I can’t see anyone having a more superior real donut than Mighty O. I got the glazed all the way to the left. So good. FoodSparrow picked up six to carry [...]
Vegan MoFo #24: Vegan on the I-5 South
I had some unfinished business in the Pacific Northwest. And by business I mean vegan food to eat. This time I flew into Seattle only to head straight to Portland, Oregon, thee vegan capital of the country. But after a long transatlantic flight, we weren’t going to make it all the way to Portland without [...]
Vegan MoFo #23: Cookies for a Cause
A few weeks back I read this posting from Nicole at Another One Bites the Crust, one of my favorite vegan food blogs. The posting is not Nicole’s usual; none of her amazing food photography and yummy recipes. The post was a heartbreaking story of a young man named Alex who was in a terrible [...]
Vegan MoFo #21: It’s My Birthday: Feel the Food Love
Birthday Brunch Ambush! The Greek rang for spontaneous brunch action of my choosing in the hybrid chariot. So I had to dump the cereal I just poured soy milk on and let it dry on a baking sheet. Kickin’ in Depression-era!My coffee says “hi”.My choice: Organic Grill in the East Village for their tofu omelet. [...]
VeganMoFo #20: The KZ Vegan NYC-77
I began the Melissa Bastian‘s Vegan New York 100 a few days back. After making it nearly to the end I decided I’d make my own! Of course there is some overlap. Here it is, the KZ Vegan NYC 77, in no particular order. 1. Slice‘s Simpleton, subbed with Daiya2. The Seitan Picatta at Candle [...]
