Vegan Dining At Legoland

chow — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 05:53:05 +0000

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

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

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 [...]

Vegan Eats at Maker Faire Bay Area

This past weekend, I went to Maker Faire in San Mateo. It’s an event held at different cities around the country that celebrates DIY in arts, crafts, engineering and science. One of the best things about the Bay Area faire, was the number of vegan food choices. There was vegan paella, vegan corn dogs and [...]

The Veggie Grill Review

Deliriously happy to finally have the chance to eat at The Veggie Grill in El Segundo, I pretty much stuffed my face full. Since our whole group went to the all-vegan restaurant (a family first), I actually got to try quite a few items. Chinese Chickin’ Salad, pictured above – I thought it was great, [...]

Versailles Cuban Restaurant Review

Over the holiday weekend, I traveled to Southern California to visit with my brother’s family. While there, we got lunch to-go at Versailles Cuban Restaurant in Manhattan Beach. Since Cuban food is better known for its meat dishes, I didn’t think there would be much for me to eat besides the typical rice and beans. [...]

VeganMoFo: Izakaya Raka Review

chow — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:07:30 +0000

Recovered from the depths of an iPhone are photos from a Father’s Day celebration back in June. I had forgotten all about them. Dinner was at Izakaya Raka, a Japanese Tapas Bar in Grover Beach, California. Located south of San Luis Obispo, not far from the Monarch butterfly grove at Pismo State Beach. The restaurant [...]
