[thumb:1615:l][thumb:1616:l] Over the weekend, The Boyfriend (TB) and I tried a new-ish, 100% vegan restaurant, Squid and Ink in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood. Squid and Ink is not to be confused with Georgetown Liquor Co., which is a mile or two to the north (I think). TB had the Steak Seirtare (seasoned seitan strips with sauteed […]

Bad vegetarian news: Healthy Hedon has closed. “An experience in vegetarian decadence,” Healthy Hedon offered cuisine with multi-cultural influences including Caribbean, Korean, and Thai. All dishes were 100% vegetarian, some were vegan. Healthy Hedon, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood (across the parking lot from the Half Price Books on Belmont Ave. E), opened in […]

The Boyfriend and I made vegan crepes for brunch today and, much to our surprise, this guy joined us: [thumb:1601:l] I don’t have a Jesus Pan, so I’m not sure who this is. [thumb:1600:l] Santa Claus? Albert Einstein? Doesn’t matter. I ate him. With pumpkin butter, soy whipped cream, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. […]

According to Burger King’s Web site, you can have your BK Stacker with double, triple, or quadruple layers of cheese and beef. And it comes with an unspecified […]

August 25, 2007 The Boyfriend (TB) and I ate dinner at Georgetown Liquor Company (GLC), 5501 Airport Way S, Seattle; the entrance is at 8th Ave S and S Lucile St, behind ArtCore Tattoo. [thumb:1529:l][thumb:1530:l][thumb:1531:l][thumb:1532:l] GLC, a “retro-gaming bar,” has a 100% vegetarian menu. Some items are natively vegan and most can be made vegan. […]

My friend Selena and I ate dinner tonight at new, 100% vegetarian–with vegan options–Thai restaurant in Wallingford: jhanjay vegetarian thai cuisine. For a starter, we shared the Vegetarian Rolls (“C” in the Dinner Appetizers section). For entrees, Selena had the Jhanjay Noodles (#35) and I had the Rama Garden (#18). Vegetarian Rolls: “Fresh mint, green […]

June 25, 2007 Just in case regular haggis (traditionally made from sheep heart, liver, and lungs with oatmeal, spices, and other ingredients, boiled in the sheep’s stomach) and vegan haggis (mixed vegetables, beans, nuts, spices, etc.) don’t do it for you: [thumb:1514:l] (Note: Probably not vegan or even vegetarian. Many gummy products contain gelatin, which […]

Sunday, March 25 Featured in today’s San Francisco Chronicle: Food bloggers dish up plates of spicy criticism. Here’s what really stuck with me: One person interviewed for the article had recently checked online reviews for a particular restaurant. Noting that the restaurant had received “one star” (i.e., not good), the woman commented that she probably […]
