Subway testing vegan options
This is pretty good news. I'd love to see these go national. There aren't enough solid vegan options in chains like these. more »

Chickpea Patties, White BBQ Sauce, Grilled Zucchini
The chickpea patties are made like polenta. Here's the recipe from "The Truck Food Cookbook" by John T. Edge. more »

Here and there
I post a lot to the Facebook page lately and there are something like 6000 people who like it, although these days Facebook now wants you to start paying to have the people who like your page actually see your posts. I think that's unreasonable. So I am going to start posting more here I think and soon move the blog to the front page as I continue to develop the site in new directions.

So it was written:
They are just celebrating their year anniversary as of April, 2012. I just made it over here for my first visit and what a great find. They have a really comfortable and pleasant space with both indoor and outdoor seating and there's something about the way the air drifts through and the counter seating and open kitchen that make it especially relaxing. more »
Dan added Choices Cafe in Miami, FL.
So it was written:
Newish all-vegan place opened as of November, 2012. Need to go check this out and get more information. Menu on the website looks nice.

Dan updated 3 Brothers Pizza Cafe in Rockville Centre, NY.
So it was written:
This pizza/Italian restaurant on Long Island features a FULL vegan menu which can be viewed on their website. Also have Vegan Treats desserts. Recently they were posted on Will Travel for Vegan Food and the vegan mozzarella sticks looked pretty darned good, so I'm gonna have to go try now for reals.
Dan updated Blossoming Lotus in Portland, OR.
So it was written:
Gourmet vegan, nice ambience but not too fancy. Numerous marked gluten free, soy free, and live options on the menu. Appetizers such as live nachos, polenta breaded fried artichoke hearts, also salads, entrees, specils, and full beer, wine and cocktail menus. more »
Dan updated Peacefood Cafe in New York, NY.
So it was written:
Completely vegan, casual cafe. The first thing you see when you walk in is the wall of home-made baked goods. I have been tempted repeatedly to just skip the food and go straight for dessert. more »
Dan updated Udipi Cafe in Monroeville, PA.
So it was written:
Having been to just about every vegetarian restaurant in the Pittsburgh area, this was the last one on the list as it was a bit outside Pittsburgh and I figured how different could a south Indian vegetarian joint be? I was pretty wrong, the food here was actually excellent and well above average among the dozens of Indian veg places I have eaten. Everything was delicious, they had a big menu with dosas, utthapam and all the usual south Indian dishes plus a huge selection of appetizers and curries. Ambience is simple but felt authentic. more »
Dan added FreeFoods NYC in New York, NY.
So it was written:
This was recommended to check out and I haven\'t been there yet. Their menu has kind of a lot of meat on it but they do seem to be going for a \"free-range\" sort of thing. It might be too much to include here, but it is in a bit of a vegetarian wasteland and they do have tempeh, tofu, and vegan and gluten-free items denoted clearly on the menu, plus smoothies and all that stuff. I\'m going to take a look and then decide if they are veg enough to get to remain on the site.
Dan added Blossom Du Jour in New York, NY.
So it was written:
Primarily take-out location for Blossom with a totally different and less fancy menu comprised of salads, wraps and that sort of thing. There are a few seats and it\'s right next door to Blossom Bakery.

Dan updated Madeleine Bistro in Tarzana, CA.
So it was written:
It was falsely reported at one point that they were closing, but the deal fell through and Madeline Bistro remains open thank goodness. I was feeling lazy cause of the rainy weather and I'm glad I ended up here. They had a lot of nice options on the menu though I had to go with the "chicken fried seitan" for my first visit. more »
Dan uploaded new pictures for Madras Cafe in San Diego, CA.
Dan updated Flore Vegan in Los Angeles, CA.
So it was written:
I stopped by Flore once without the opportunity to eat, but I made a mental note to return based on the ambience and menu alone and that was reinforced by some amazing pictures I saw of the food probably via Quarrygirl who counted them as a favorite. I was particularly excited cause of a picture of biscuits & gravy I saw, something I have spent time seeking out in the veg restaurants of the world, but due to poor planning on my part I found out upon arriving to dine that they only serve them on the weekends, so my vegan biscuits & gravy will have to wait til next time. They have a huge menu with tons of different items, a breakfast selection, tacos, burritos, plates, sandwiches, fresh juices, many choices. more »
Dan updated Doomie's in Hollywood, CA.
So it was written:
Oh my. I finally ate here after reading many Quarrygirl (RIP) posts about how awesome it was, and man did it live up. It was a really tough call deciding what to get. more »
Dan updated Peace Pies in Encinitas, CA.
So it was written:
This is the second location of this 100% raw restaurant. The first is in Ocean Beach. This used to be a raw restaurant called the Greenery which passed the space on to these guys. more »

Diner, Bakery
I have actually been here once before it became a diner when it was just a bakery. They were out of a lot of things the day I went, so I am owed another trip especially now that they apparently have some kind of full diner/cafe menu going on. I will report back, this is high priority from what I hear.
