Vegan on the Jersey Shore, Part 4: Kaya’s Kitchen
Ah, our last meal: Kaya’s Kitchen in Belmar, New Jersey. This is why you should go: A huge cut of seitan, breaded, then fried.

Look at that streaming pool of their vegan butter glistening those potatoes. Look [...]
Vegan on the Jersey Shore, Part 3: Seaside Heights

Having the foresight that this would be the case, I rented a car to deliver me, finally, to Sweet Avenue Bake Shop, Rutherford, New Jersey’s vegan cupcakery.
