The following is a continuation of menu food porn from my recent Veggie Grill weekend. This post hereby includes upcoming Veggie Grill menu items of the ‘fork and knife’ variety (brief pondering: Do you call it ‘knife and fork?’ Or is that phrasing simply more carnivorous?), a morning visit to the Hollywood Farmers Market, strolling the [...]

A Very Special Totsgiving
The first-ever Totsgiving™ (I’m hereby claiming it because page 1 of a recent google search has nothing but toys for tots, which seems to have nothing to do with potatoes, and my own related results) was simply epic. I had the crazy realization afterwards that it was my first vegan Thanksgiving (or, as they’re saying these [...]
The Charm of Brass Tacks Sandwiches
Update: They now have a website! Last week, I was charmed by a sandwich. True story. I stopped by the soft opening of Brass Tack Sandwiches, located on the corner of N Fremont & N Vancouver, and I continue to look back, wistfully. This new deli has creative vegan, vegetarian and omni options, including housemade [...]
Lattes, Sandwiches & Vegan Vietnamese: Seattle Travels with the Veganshizz
Earlier this month, Karla the Veganshizzle and I spent a few days up in Seattle basically drinking coffee, eating vegan food, walking around, and drinking even more coffee. Our first stop was Georgetown Liquor Co. Hands down, my favorite place to dine (and play NES with a microbrew or PBR in hand) in Seattle. And [...]
The Intrigue of the Pizza: balsamic beets, sweet corn & cauliflower basil ricotta
Cauliflower Basil Ricotta. Basically, I substituted semi-boiled cauliflower and a small handful of cashews for the primary component of the tofu ricotta recipe in Veganomicon. I added more basil, nutritional yeast and a bit of miso to overpower the ‘flower. The pizza had both creative toppings and very particular slicing. The dough was spread with [...]

My past exerperiences with Daiya have ranged from a tasty, gooey grilled cheese with tomato at Savor Soup House, to uncooked samples at VegFest, to so so home experiments, to the oozing pizza I thought was going to coat my mouth forever and lead to the [...]
Photo Essay: The Best & The Rest of NYC (of my winter vacation)
Vegan Ice Cream at Stogo Starting with the Ten Best NYC Vegan Experiences of my winter vacation, in no particular order: The entire Vegetarian Dim Sum House Experience Carrot Tahini spread and Terra Sana Syrah at Candle Café – nothing else I sampled there interested me. It was underwhelming the more ‘upscale’ dining attempt (on a [...]
Mr. Paik’s Favorite Grilled Seitan Bulgogi
After his daughter surreptitiously purchased a controlling interest in Paik Heavy Industries, Woo-Jung Paik’s stress levels were a scary sight. Not as scary as the blank look in Sayid’s eyes these days, but enough that he finally listened to his doctor (Dr. Mittlesomething?) about lowering his semi-worrisome cholesterol. Which brings us to his personal chef’s [...]
Sawyer’s Southern Spaghetti and Smokey Greens
Southern Spaghetti with Seitan and Smokey Greens paired with an Australian merlot We’ve yet to see this side of James Ford, but I know it’s there. There is one dish in this LOST character’s romancing-and-swindling-the-ladies repertoire, and this is it. Smokey greens for three reasons: the name, of course, the Southern tradition, and because Sawyer [...]
