Last year my wife and I had such a great time at the The Philly Mac Down, the first vegan mac and cheese contest organized by V Marks The Shop, that when they announced this year’s competition, Philly Mac Down 2 – Vegan Boogaloo we decided to enter and toss our cheesy hat into the…
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…
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,…
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…
Sure we may have been a week late, but our moms were happy to be together with us and seemed pretty excited to try out the dinner options at Sprig & Vine, the all vegan 51 seat restaurant in New Hope, PA. It has a bit of an upscale vibe while still capturing a relaxed casual atmosphere,…

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…
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…
