Restaurant Review: Cali Burrito

Cali Burrito is a California-style burrito joint. It's fresh fast food. They have smoked tofu, which is awesome. They also have tofu scrambler burritos and SOMETIMES have smoked seitan as well.

I opted for the taco salad with smoked tofu.


You have to bring your own Tofutti Sour Supreme which is kind of a bummer since otherwise they're pretty vegan-friendly.

Restaurant Review: Vinnies Brooklyn

Vinnie's is a vegan-friendly pizzaria in Brooklyn.


I tried the ham roll, it came with vgan mozzarella cheese, ham, and sauteed veggies. It was amazing!


LinkIf you're in the neighborhood, check out Penny Licks just down the block for dessert, or stay at Vinnie's for some delicious Vegan Treats!

Horizons, again....

Another trip to Horizons...

Bibb Salad
Bruschetta
Strawberry Lime Cheesecake - the mixture of the strawerry and lime flavors was light and refreshing
Creme Brulee with almond biscotti - this creme brulee is the closest to the 'real' thing I think I've ever had, it's made with a coconut base which turns me off a bit (I dislike coconut), but the topping is nice and crispy and the biscotti lend a nice complement.

Iced Mojito - layes of cake, lime sorbet, and coconut cream with mint... light and refreshing but again, I'm just not a fan of coconut!

Restaurant Review: Horizons

My friend Matt visited and brought with him my favorite significant other!

First, we made a stop at Vegan Treats. We wolfed down Chocolate Encased Strawberry Shortcakes and Caramel-Fudge Brownies (and doughnuts!)

Next up, Horions Cafe.
We waited at the bar for a table to open...
So cute!
Horizons makes the best virgin-mojitos in the world!

The Jamaican BQ wing appetizer is tasty - it's sweet and tangy with a juicy seitan interior!
Chilled avacado and dill soup -- it's okay but it doesn't hold a flame to Blasasia's version!
I ordered my usual - grilled seitan with mashed yukon potatoes, spinach and their combination of sauces.

If you have never eaten at Horizons, you have to know that they make the best fake meat I have EVER tasted. It's perfectly seasoned, moist, and tasty!
I think this is the crabcakes with enchiladas...



We didn't get dessert, since we had Vegan Treats earlier we were good!

Restaurant Review: Su Tao

Su Tao Cafe is an all-you-can-eat vegan Chinese restaurant outside of Philadelphia, PA.

There's an extensive salad bar (pictured below) with everything from salad fixings to tofu-egg salad to fresh fruit, to more exotic Japanese-inspired seaweed salads and Korean-inspired Kimchis

There's also a whole other hot bar with everything from fresh sushi, hot and sour soup, miso soup, and 8 entrees, mock duck, mock chicken, mock fish cakes, dumplings, spring rolls, and other entree/appetizer items.

Kimchi, brown rice, dumplings, beef and peppers:

Los and H fooling around



Green beans, mock duck, dumplings, lo mein, fish cakes, tempura, sushi
This is my favorite entree, they call it "Treasure Pot" it's a mix of beef, chicken, peppers, squash, potatoes, yams, and other veggies

Some other fake meat dishes


They even have dessert, here's an assortment - apple pie, Whole Foods brand 'oreo' cookies, sesame balls, cashew squares, rice poppers, and biscuits


The salad bar has sliced apples with what tastes like condensed milk, they're really sweet and rich but remind me of my childhood when my grandmother would serve fruit with condensed milk for dessert, I've asked on several occasions how they make the condensed milk, but they always say, it's 'just a special sauce.'
Fin!
