Bliss Cafe San Luis Obispo

chow — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:38:22 +0000

While down south for the holidays, I picked up take-out from Bliss Cafe. They’re a tiny, all vegan place in downtown San Luis Obispo, CA. The “yogi style, karma free” menu offers wholesome raw and cooked food, sourced locally and organically whenever possible and as close to zero-waste as possible. Since I couldn’t decide on [...]

Peanuts and Veggie Pizza From Klondike Pizza

Over the holiday weekend, I was down south visiting family. Deciding where to eat out is always a challenge, between everyone’s various taste preferences and schedules, we quickly ate through the usual places. Time to try someplace new. We ventured into Klondike Pizza, located in the downtown village of Arroyo Grande (about halfway between San [...]

Grilled Philly Sandwich From Loving Hut

Last weekend, I checked out WonderCon at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This year marked the 25th anniversary of the annual comic book, sci-fi, and popular arts event. (Yes, I’m geeky that way. But not as geeky as the people who dress up in costume and walk around in character. Bless them, they certain [...]

Patxi’s Chicago Pizza Palo Alto Review

chow — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 04:43:40 +0000

Yeah, I’m having a bit of a pizza binge over here in Chow Vegan land. You would think I had my fill of pizza after reviewing three Tofurky Pizzas in my last post. But hey, it’s pizza! And man, I haven’t had deep dish pizza in years, decades even. Needless to say, I was very [...]

Vegan Dining At Legoland

While down in Southern California, Legoland in Carlsbad popped up on the itinerary a couple of times. For lunch there, I usually go for the salad bar at the Fun Town Market Restaurant. As you can see above, I really loaded up my plate. After all that walking around the park, I need every single [...]

Vegan Dining At Disneyland Revisited

chow — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 03:21:31 +0000

Visited Disneyland again this year and got to try different places to eat as there’s quite a few options nowadays. At the Mexican place, Rancho de Zocalo over in Frontierland, I ordered the Soft Tacos Monterrey for $9.99 – two tacos with sautéed vegetables on top of rice and beans in a flour tortilla (pictured [...]

Ike’s Place Redwood Shores Review

chow — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 05:48:52 +0000

For awhile now, I’ve been hearing about Ike’s Place this and Ike’s Place that. Basically, how wonderful it is, from the delicious sandwiches to the super nice employees. I’ve always wanted to eat there but never seem to find the time to make it into San Francisco. Little did I know there was an Ike’s [...]

Garden Fresh Vegan Cuisine Review

chow — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 04:30:41 +0000

Oh sure, back when I actually lived in Palo Alto, there wasn’t one vegan restaurant in sight. Now there’s two. Garden Fresh Vegan Cuisine opened earlier this year and I finally got around to eating there. Like their other, older location in Mountain View, they serve Chinese vegan cuisine. On the menu, there’s plenty of [...]
