Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
{Philadelphia: This is a long drive for dinner.}
Ever since I saw the Philadelphia’s Memphis Taproom on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives and learned it had a couple of vegan options, I’ve been wanting to go. The draw? Their vegan “bacon”. Not a packaged meat analog but coconut. Smoked coconut, smoked in a smoker. This ingenious creation is used in their vegan B.L.T. and graces the [...]
Vegan in Toronto, Part 2: Hibiscus Sweet & Savory Crepes and Heavenly Bunners
Last minute low-ball bidding on Priceline is a skill I can add to my resume. Being V.I.V.B. (very important vegan bloggers), we needed a safe haven to recuperate from a long day of eating. Luckily, the boutique Indigo Hotel gave us a $100 room for about $50 bucks. After some restful sleep, an invigorating session in [...]
A New Vegan Bakery in NYC
There’s a new all-vegan bakery in New York City. I repeat, there’s a new all-vegan bakery in New York City. Cowgirl’s Bakery in Manhattan’s East Village. And they are pretty impressive. What would have two proud Brooklyn gals brave the bar-laden East Village during one of the drinkiest nights of the year? The prospect of [...]
They’re Heeeere…. Champ’s Family Bakery
Strolling leisurely back to my apartment from the G train with none other than Ms. CandyPenny, we decided to turn around to check to see if Champ’s Family Bakery was any closer to opening its doors, offering Williamsburg its first all-vegan bakery. The last few times I had done a walk-by it was shackled up [...]
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore
Deep Thoughts: While I was driving south down the I-35 today, in the “road zone”, I began to think about… [wait for it]…human beings. I began to think about how it was that a lower order of primates evolved to eventually have me sitting snug in a moving machine, barreling down a leg of this [...]
Colorado | Kansas
After a strenuous drive back east on I-70, succumbing to the erratic weather fits of the land’s high elevation, we arrived back in Denver, Colorado, a quick stop-over on our route into the Great Plains. I will happily bid the Rockies a fond farewell and look forward to the flatlands. This trip has brought, thus [...]
Vegan Missionaries
Home has many shapes and forms. This particular evening, in Green River, Wyoming, it came in the form of the Coachman Inn, yes, but more the huge sky and rock formations that surrounded the cluster stop on the way to the great Flaming Gorge. But morning brought us back onto I-80 West, heading to our [...]
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. [...]
Stalker
Dear Champ’s Family Bakery, I pass you on the way to work. Really. You think I am going out of my way to see you? You’re so silly. No, I did not take a picture of your unopened storefront. Oh that above? I just happened to notice that you’ve been painted black. That is new [...]
Champ’s Family Bakery
Thanks to SuperVegan‘s post about a brand new all-vegan bakery to open its doors to my neighborhood’s streets come July, I am pleased as pie today! I am super-excited about the arrival of Champ’s Family Bakery for many reasons. In no particular order: 1) Though I’ve traveled across the country for vegan bakeries, I much [...]
Giving It Away
Still getting acclimated with my breadmaker, I’ve learned that I can barely put a dent in a 2 lb. loaf during the week. My olive and kale-pesto loafs had to find new life as croutons and, given my limited use of croutons, new homes. Determined to not waste them I tripped to an office building [...]
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 [...]
