Highlights for yet another daytrip to D.C.! For a late brunch post-Bolt, we hit Asylum, a Rock and Roll {fingerquotes} lounge whose chalkboard sign offered “Brunch: Vegan or Not”. First, some vegan drumsticks. These were pretty standard: textured soy protein wrapped about a vegan bone. Odd, yes- but satisfying in a Chipotle kind Read more…

Fellow veghead CandyPenny and I headed south to our nation’s capitol to sample some area eats. First stop after a smooth ride, Great Sage in Clarksville, Maryland. Although I initially hoped to try the Seitan Wellington off their dinner menu, I had to compromise with checking out their lunch… there is only Read more…

So New York City was sweltering this weekend. We beat our previous record high (84) by noon on Saturday as heat climbed all the way to 89! Between the need to be out and about and celebrate spring with friends and drinks, I was not in my kitchen all weekend. Read more…

The Art/FoodSparrow and her Tim X were the hosts of a delicious holiday vegan potluck. I had been looking forward to the event for months and spent most of the day starving myself for the feast. My additions were from VCOn: Pumpkin Crumb Cake with Pecan Streusel and the tzimmes. Read more…

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 Read more…

The East Village’s Organic Grill serves a mean tofu omelet. In my previous visits, spanning a few years now, they’ve always used a proprietary blend of vegan cheddar cheese. I was a bit disappointed to learn they have now converted over to Follow Your Heart‘s cheese. The omelet is still the Read more…

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 Read more…

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 Read more…

Celebrating a very special period in my life, I was treated to a triple-digit all-raw dinner at Pure Food & Wine. Being perpetually broke and an avid thrifter, I am normally critical of such lofty expenditures, even food expenditures. Despite the hefty crew of NYC happy hour socialites toasting pitchers Read more…

A recipient of their weekly emailing, the menus of 4 Course Vegan have long been textually tempting my tummy. My arrival back in the States was the push needed to finally make a reservation. The dining concept was interesting: a weekly changing menu at a location revealed a few days Read more…

Throughout my 8-week stay in Southeast Asia, I pined for New York comsumables as if long lost lovers. Foods that supplemented my hungry senses short walks or subway rides away ranked high on the collective pang unit of my new daily life. But, arriving to New York and whisked to Read more…
