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, [...]

Eugene, Eugene with the Sisters Legume
It looks me nine years of dwelling in the Pacific Northwest, one quick train ride, and the encouragement of two sisters, but I finally made it to Eugene for the weekend recently. The break included sunshine, strolls, Lane County farmers market, vegan food, frolicking at the top of Skinner Butte, soy lattes, TMNT: The Secret [...]
Beverage breaks
It’s damn near sleeting outside right now, Portland is freaking out, and I could go for a warm frothy mug of peppermint hot chocolate. Or this, from Cacao. Or what the hey, a giant pumpkin pie cocktail is pretty much the same thing. Also warming, from Wafu.. Even better when you pair it with this: [...]
Steamed Soy
I remain a broken record these last few posts. Reflections on my Southeast Asian travels, this past week’s VVC scouting trip to Chicago, and a Portland vegan nacho report (East End, Veggie Grill, etc.) are bound to come. I’m slowly compiling a list of my most memorable travel meals, and have been trying to recreate [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A Day in the Life: Lattes, Earth Balance & Stuff
Not to get all livejournally, but I’m updating this early afternoon more well-rested than I’ve felt in weeks. There’s something to be said for falling asleep before the SNL repeat you intended to watch even airs. Therefore, there’s a warm, caffeinated beverage in front of me that I’m not depending on for fuel – it’s [...]
Photo Essay: boston. vegan. vacation. go.
Just what got checked off the Vegan To-Do List from my Return to Boston post… See tall buildings? check! As for food, let’s start with the No Name. If there was a flag representing Vegan Boston, this would be on it. The very first gluten/fake meaty anything I could stomach! (and now require at least [...]
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 [...]
