Vegan Burger @ Habit Burger

When I became vegan, the only thing I really sought to “replace” was a good burger. As a rule, if I see a vegan burger on a menu, I’ll give it a try. Supporting my quest,  Habit Burger in King of Prussia, PA was nice enough to invite me to try out their new vegan burger. …

Miss Rachel, Vegan Cheese & Community Love

Rachel Klein works her vegan magic at Miss Rachel’s Panty, a small, vintage vibe space, in South Philly.  She is the premier vegan caterer in Philly and also hosts weekly dinners in her Pantry which are BYOB. You can choose to sit at the 12 seat communal table or at a couple of the slightly more…

Zahav – Great Food with Great Friends

My wife and I have been to  Michael Solomonov’s  Zahav on a couple of previous occasions.  Any night at Zahav is a great night; the food, atmosphere, and the service are all stellar, truly one of the best all around dining experiences I have ever had. The only thing that could make it better is…

The Chilly Banana – Happy Friday!

It has been a bit of a hectic Friday in the office. For lunch I decided to hit the Indego Bike Station around the corner of my office at Dickinson Square. A twenty minute bike ride around Center City was perfect to clear my head. But it is June and pretty warm out there already, so I am finding…

Blackbird Pizza: The Calzone Effect

I still remember the first time I ever had any food from Blackbird Pizza. It was during a screening of Vegucated in the summer of 2012 and Blackbird provided the food after the movie. They had several different pizzas and a chickpea ‘tuna’ wrap. This was just as I was learning about being vegan and I was excited,…

Vegan Commissary – Market Edition

The Vegan Commissary has been one of my favorite spots since the very first time we ate there, just after their opening. My boss heard me talking about an all vegan restaurant opening in South Philly and how excited I was that such a place was going to be so close by work! The Christmas just before they…

Flora Restaurant – Birthday Edition

Flora has been on my radar for a while now so when my wife suggested she make reservations for my birthday dinner I was pretty stoked! We had reservations for Saturday night at 5:15 PM for a table of 5.  My parents, along with my mother-in-law, were joining us. They are not vegan but keep an open…

Meatless Monday with Chef Lenka Zivkovic

Chef Lenka Zivkovic of The Plough and The Stars has been creating Meatless Monday meals now for about a year.  For some reason I just wasn’t able to get to any of these Monday meals.  The past few vegan events I have been to I have heard a number of people saying how great her vegan meals taste.  I also…

Cedar Point – Traffic Jam Addition

4:30 on a Friday afternoon and I am leaving the office – should be an exciting time, right? After all it is the official start of the weekend and what could be better?  How about an I-95 on ramp that isn’t backed up onto the street!  This is not looking good – so I go…
