Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Dear Oklahoma…
So Oklahoma City, yeah. This trip has officially come full-circle. We passed through Oklahoma at the start of our trip 12 days ago but did not stop. Even though I had discovered the raw restaurant 105 Degrees via ye olde google search, time was not on our side and we’d have to waste a good deal [...]
I am One Lucky Duck
One Lucky Duck juice and takeaway is Pure Food & Wine‘s to-go counter. Like PF&W, the high-end raw joint, One Lucky Duck is all raw but the focus is on sweet treats, quick juices and snacks. And much like the slew of eateries doing this type of thing (Candle 79/Candle Cafe, Blossom/Cafe Blossom, that Zen [...]
Raw Soul?
When I think of raw food, I think of fresh vegetable layers, ground nuts and soaked beans; the upscale Manhattan address and accompanying price tag. Never does soul food come to mind… and yet Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s new raw restaurant, Rockin’ Raw, fuses raw and soul food with great success! The first ever “live-vegan-raw-organic-peruvian-new-orleanian-creole-cuisine-with-soul-from-williamsburg-brooklyn-to-you” restaurant to [...]
The Hidden Vegan Gem of Ulster County
Must-eat Day Trip series, Number 3A blog series featuring the country’s best upscale vegan restaurants. There is a New York that is not New York City, not a surrounding suburb and not within the its commuter path. Many call it all “upstate”, simplifying it into one homogeneous lump of land. But spending a wonderful weekend [...]
Raw, Day 5
After an uneventful day 4, highlighted only by our gradually diminished appetites and growing weariness of food choices, Day 5 was here. Wok Man and I had an evening out at Quintessence to congratulate ourselves on our milestone. Having lost the taste for our alfalfa and beet patties, the evening found us ravenously hungry. We had completed [...]
Raw, Day 3
Day 3 with no cooked food… (I accidentally typed “cookie” at first- Freudian type?)… besides some evening pangs, I got this. Wok Man, who challenged my will with the offer of a dinner out at an Indian restaurant if we both caved, has got it too. And much to my surprise! The man who had [...]
Raw, Day 2
It’s day two and time to step it up a notch. Having a craving for a non-wet nourishing goody en route to class, I treated myself to a package of Raweo! by Blessings Alive & Radiant Food. At $8.69 a bag, they were a When In Rome-ism, a sign of my commitment for this raw [...]
Raw, Day 1
Day 1 of my raw week went well. I was impressed with how satiated I was and how energetic I felt all day. A breakfast of ground almonds, sunflower seeds and pepitas will do that, I guess. But once evening rolled around, however, I was craving bread, pretzels, pancakes and, strangely, Alphabits cereal. Hmmm. Wok [...]
Boston Vegetarian Food Festival
The name of the game at the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival was cupcakes and cheese. Despite the constant stream of attendees and cramped space for exhibits and speakers, the event was vegan foodie heaven! With two floors of generous exhibitors, many household vegan celebrities, and their delicious samples, the hustle and bustle was well worth [...]
Vegan Mofo #5: Pure Food and Wine
Although I proclaimed after my last visit to Pure Food and Wine that I’d not soon find justification to paying more than my weekly grocery allowance for a singular meal, you have to treat yourself sometimes. My upcoming birthday, CandyPenny‘s recently past birthday, Foodsparrow‘s return from a brief blogging hiatus, Tim X‘s NC-14 Literary Deathmatch successes, as well [...]
Vegan Arizona Report
Green 2240 N Scottsdale Rd # 8 Tempe, AZ 85281 (480) 941-9003 This adorable 100% vegan cafe seemed to congregate hipsters from Arizona’s woodwork (different hipsters, ones that smile at you) and rightfully so! Their “new American vegetarian” menu was jam-packed with options ranging from soup/sandwich-y to Asian-infused bowls to frozen treats and sweets. The [...]
Ogling Google’s Cafeteria
Today I took my class on a trip to Google headquarters in New York City. I was way more excited about this than they were. In my book, they are the holy grail of employers and I’d gladly take a janitorial job to gain daily access to their cafeteria. Sure, employment with Google comes with [...]
