Sunflower Restaurant
A wholly vegetarian restaurant is quite the exotic experience for me. I’m left at a loss of expectations before I even enter the front door. Do I need to bring my passport? Are they going to give me one of those uber-intrusive body scans, and check me for contraband weapons or meats? Do they speak [...]
Founding Farmers
Founding Farmers is another restaurant owned by the same group that operate Agraria Farmers and Fishers in Georgetown. The restaurant uses the same reclaimed olde timey milk bottles for their water and same emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients, and the same contemporary-yet-rural design throughout the restaurant, which really like. Just a couple blocks away from [...]

The Bombay Club
The Bombay Club is nestled comfortably along the K street corridor, easily going unnoticed unless you were specifically looking for the establishment. I have probably walked by it more times than I could count on both hands, but it just doesn’t exude a presence from the outside. Once inside, however, you’re treated to something that [...]
Anatolia Mediterranean Cuisine
Anatolia is a Mediterranean restaurant just off of Restaurant Row in Orlando. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, with plentiful vegan and vegetarian options, which is a rare treat for non-meat eaters and omnivores alike. Lunch specials appear on the menu there, but not online- which is a shame, because these really are a [...]
Best-ever Veggie Burgers from Northstar Café
Not being a devout vegetarian myself, I wasn’t quite sure how well this recipe, and even Jen had her reservations as I was making it for dinner the other night. It primarily consists of onions, beets, brown rice and beans. So how does that really stand up to being a burger substitute? Pretty well, actually. [...]
Sweet Potato Hash with Red Onions
I made this dish as one of the sides for our New Year’s Resolution Party over the weekend. There are two ways to prepare the sweet potatoes for this dish- as a mash or a hash, and I’ll go over both in this recipe. As you can probably guess, the mash has a much creamier [...]
Wasabi Sesame Kale Recipe
Kale's quite the extraordinarily intimidating motherfucker. I've spent years passing it by at the grocery store in favor of other vegetables or fruits. I know it’s good for me, but look at it. I mean, fucking look at it. It's got this presence, like a pigeon wielding a chainsaw. I shouldn't be scurred of [...]
Vegan Cupcakes
Over Thanksgiving, I had to plan for a vegan guest, which led to find this vegan cupcake recipe. They’re pretty damn good, and for having never made cupcakes before, I thought they turned out pretty well! The one thing to note is that you should definitely find some cupcake/muffin tin liners so that the delicate [...]
DC Noodles
When fall comes and decides to stay for a few weeks here in DC, it’s hard to find a better excuse to strap on some boots and go walking around the city. The nights here teem with electricity and life, with people out everywhere, off in search of food and fun. Jen and I wandered [...]
