Last month, team VVC took a quick trip to Seattle. It basically went like this: Soy lattes were sipped. Pickle chips were consumed. Vegan treats were sought out. Locations were visited. It was business as usual. One of my first stops: a mug of house Caffé Vita & the vegan chocolate cupcake at Cupcake Royale What clearly, [...]

Bits and Pieces of Seattle
I’ve been telling myself that a Seattle hiatus is in order for months now (evidently, since March), and sure enough, pieces of one fell onto my path recently while I was heading to and fro the ‘heart of the cascades’ for work stuff. Pardon me while I go back into Vegan Iron Chef mode!
30 hours in Seattle: a food photo essay
Recently, a bunch of us PDX Vegan Iron Chef volunteers and friends headed north to Seattle to support our pals at Veganscore & The Great Vegan Chili Cook-Off. The fundraiser for their own eventual Vegan Iron Chef was a super fun and sold-out event full of enthusiasm, smiles and chili peppers, and I’m stoked to see what they have [...]
Smokey Baked Mac & Cheese and inspiration from Bang Bang Cafe in Seattle, WA
This recipe marked the first time I’d turned to VegWeb for guidance in years. The veg recipe directory and LiveJournal’s vegan cooking communities were my learn-as-you-go and read-the-comments because you can only-sorta-trust-the-internet tip toes into the vegan culinary world back in the early 2000s. It’s like I can recall mildly freaking out when the number of [...]
I went to Seattle VegFest and returned with a lot of tea
It’s true! One would think it would be locally roasted coffee, but I have a whole lot of random tea bags waiting for me at home. I picked up a few coupons and sampled most of the new vegan items amongst the vegetarian (more on this below), got my Field Roast on, did several shots [...]
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 [...]
Seattle Sweets: A Visit to Sidecar for Pigs Peace
…and we’re back! Karla the Veganshizz and I have returned from a few days of both business and pleasure up in Seattle. We caffeinated, wined, dined, worked (my day job exists!) schemed & dined some more with Seattle vegan greats and got in a little sweets shopping at Sidecar for Pigs Peace, where proceeds really [...]
Three Days in Seattle, Vegan Style
I had a string of poor luck with meal choices on my East Coast vacation, and I must say that 3 days of vegan meals in Seattle kinda kicked the butt of my week of vegan consumption in Boston and NYC. With some exceptions, of course. I really do believe that food tastes better in [...]
Seattle Food Porn, Round 2
Round 2 of the Seattle Vegan Food Porn from earlier this month! How cool is Georgetown Liquor Co? So damn cool. I think I have to give it the slight edge over Araya’s and hail it as my favorite dining experience of the short trip. It was just so…comfortable. All vegetarian pub, nearly everything can [...]
