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.

This time I flew into Seattle only to head straight to Portland, Oregon, thee vegan capital of the country.

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 [...]

VeganMoFo #20: The KZ Vegan NYC-77
