Vegan Comfort Food, Colorado-style

Little did I know that in the few days I’d spend in Colorado I’d return east stuffed and plump like a prized tofurkey! Sluggish and satiated, here is part II of my Colorado vegan dining highlights.

VG Burgers is a vegan fast food joint in Boulder, CO that pulls out all the stops. With a satisfying selection of burgers, air-baked fries, agave-sweetened fountain sodas {Oogave} and vegan soft serve you are bound to find fulfillment. The menu is completely plants-based as is all the packaging! Yes, VG Burgers goes the extra mile by stocking only compostable cups, straws, containers and utensils and runs completely on wind-power.  Ok, East coast- can we get on this?I knew at first bite I’d return to WaterCourse Foods in Denver. Besides the staff and clientele all being adorable, the food was absolutely delish. So Wok Man and I hit the hip spot for dinner after a day trip in the mountains, knowing that a restaurant this spacious and relaxing with a veg menu so expansive and affordable with top-notch service didn’t really exist in New York City. Below, seitan buffalo wings with vegan ranch. So good! I can still feel the seitan expanding in my stomach.
Wok Man‘s Buffalo tofu sandwich with the greasiest, most delicious onion rings. Superlatives, superlatives, etc, etc.
My attempt at taking it a bit easy: the Macro plate. Grilled tofu cooked in orange ginger sauce served over brown rice with steamed chard, arame, and homemade pickled cabbage.
Dessert fresh from their all-vegan bakery a few blocks away: coconut creme pie! with a squirt of Soyatoo.
