Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
On Route 66
Though we’d left TX behind spent the evening just west of Oklahoma City, we needed to drive through the panhandle to reach our next destination, Santa Fe, New Mexico. A good 7 to 8 hours drive from where we had woken up, we pit-stopped in Amarillo, Texas at Eat-Rite, a 19,000 square feet “health promotion [...]
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: T&L Storms
The clouds and the sky, uninterrupted here, are quite distracting while driving. Plumes of crisp, starchy whites, grey veils and every shade (or absence of shade) in between transformed the space above the horizon to a mesmerizing and dizzying focal point. Entering the Rockies from the Great Plains there was a lot of cloud action [...]
Embrace the Place
After crashing hard from the evening before, morning had us ready to hit the road for reals. We had a loose destination, an eatery in Fort Worth, Texas about 3 hours or so north from Austin. But after that… the unknown… kinda. We were going to take it one day at a time, like alcoholics. [...]
Woke Up in Texas
My head is all sorts of pounding. With the school year ending Monday afternoon and my flight to Austin, Texas on Wednesday morning, my body crunks and shimmies clumsily towards grasping a new routine. But my next two weeks won’t offer this part of me, the part of me that thrives off order and predictability, [...]
Pizza Truck
At a wedding reception nestled in the country roads of New Preston, Connecticut I encountered a mobile pizza operation, fluent in veganism and perfectly willing to stray from the standard menu of pizza favorites. Though most guests were impressed by the Old World Pizza Truck’s selection of high-end wood-fired pizza options, a basic marinara with some [...]
Food Love {Never Eat Your Heart Out} {Half Kidding}
See this food? I have eaten it and it has helped me to move from here to there to have me here typing this to you. See it? I put it in my mouth and chewed. Yeah, so what but: Have you ever paid attention to this process? Followed a bite from one side of [...]
Streets of Philadelphia…
Enjoying a week off for winter recess, it was time to escape, however briefly, to new east coast vegan options. Philadelphia recently opened its first all vegan, all gluten-free bakery! And with the city being just a short ride away, CP and I made a day trip especially for Sweet Freedom Bakery. Sweet Freedom Bakery [...]
On the Side of the Road
Imagine you’re hungry and heading south on the I-95 from Providence back to New York. Through the hum of the Volvo and the 90′s indierock, trees run by the 2-lane stretch of interstate and not much else. The usual blue signs for gas, food and lodging mark the more populated exits. And then you see [...]
The Aphrodisiac Prix Fixe
The regular menu at Pawtucket’s Garden Grille, a vegetarian restaurant north of downtown Providence, was wholly promising. I very much looked forward to dining there, the most asterisked entry of my Providence hit-list. But in town for heart-day, we would feast on their special 5-course prix fixe menu designed exclusively as an aphrodisiac. Not knowing [...]
{Vegan} Diners, Drive-ins and Dives {Providence, RI}
Doing a weekender in Providence, Rhode Island, it was time to explore the vegan side of this quaint New England city. For better or for worse, many of the spots we hit had previously been featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Suffice to say they were not exclusively vegan. In fact [...]
Tarrytown, Dad? Tarrytown, Dad.
Alongside the Christmas decorations going up in New York’s Westchester county this Sunday was a gentle dancing breeze and an ample dose of sunlight. It was a glorious autumn day that felt more like spring, a perfect day for a walk in the woods. After a quick ride north from New York City, the Z-unit [...]
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 [...]
