For you my dear, instead of spending time in the mansion, we’ve all rented a fleet of Winnebagos and Airstream Trailers and we’re going on a cross country, vegetarian food finding adventure! Kind of like Guy Fieri’s Diners Drive-ins and Dives without all of the meat.
We’ll start out on the east coast at Claire’s in Vermont for some sustainable seasonal veggies and artisan breads.
Next stop is New York City where we’ll go to Zen Palate for some Asian fusion fare.
Then we’ll head down to Memphis to check out the Smoked Coconut Club Sandwich at Memphis Taproom which consists of grilled lemon garlic tofu, with smoked fresh coconut and tomato herb mayo. Or if you’d prefer, you might like their Roasted Cauliflower Mac and Cheese or the Beer Battered Fried Kosher Dill Pickles.
Then we’ll jog down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to check out Sublime
Then we’ll head north and cut west to New Orleans for gourmet, artisanal popsicles at Meltdown
Then onto Austin Texas where we’ll stop by Kerbey Lane Cafe for a vegetarian breakfast or vegetarian Mexican food.
The up to Boulder, Colorado to visit the exquisite Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant
And over to Salt Lake City, Utah, to experience the 90% organic menu at Sage’s Cafe
Then up to Seattle, Washington to the Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe, Washington’s first certified organic vegetarian restaurant.
Moving down into Oregon, we’ll stop at the Blossoming Lotus an amazing sounding vegan restaurant. How cool does Live Nachos sound? These are the ingredients: spiced tomato & walnut chips, zucchini tahini nacho cheese and ground pecan chorizo, topped with onion, tomato, cilantro,
scallion, cashew sour cream and avocado ranch, served with a lime wedge. Or maybe you’d like to try the Spicy Butternut Squash and Chili Quesadilla: whole wheat tortilla with spicy butternut & black bean chili, ground pecan chorizo, zucchini tahini nacho cheese, scallion, avocado ranch and roasted red pepper sour cream, served with blue corn chips.
Then we’ll move down into San Francisco, to dine at the oh-so-out-of-my-league vegetarian restaurant called Millenium
Of course you’ll want to head into Nevada to pick up a dozen fantastic vegan donuts from Ronald’s Donuts in Las Vegas. I took a road trip out there with 4 other women, and each one of us ordered a dozen vegan donuts each!
And finishing out our journey at Au Lac Vegan and Raw Vietnamese Restaurant in Fountain Valley. This is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. I think you will like it too.
After that, you’re on your own baby! Congratulations!
