I was very lucky to get the opportunity to taste the new “Intermission” Happy Hour Menu at Hugo’s in West Hollywood with partner in crime Arielle and our mothers. In short, I will be spending lots of time there dining on all of this delicious food. It’s no secret how much I love Hugo’s. Exhibit [...]

Highlights in Food over the Past Week
So admittedly I haven’t had much time to be creative in the kitchen in 2012. However, I have enjoyed some nice eats from good vegan friendly spots in LA. Native Foods Cafe: I had the Yo Amiga taco salad with added avocado and addicting chipotle dressing. My mom opted for the Oklahoma bacon “cheeseburger”. FYI, [...]

Two Vegans Walk Into A Restaurant…
and some serious eating ensues! A couple weeks back, The Chubby Vegan graced LA with his presence and after exchanging lots of funny Tweets, I knew he’d be a great dinner companion. Despite being stuffed to the gills from a delicious brunch at Madeleine Bistro as well as some goodies from World Fest (check out [...]

Best Thing I’ve Eaten All Week: POTATO PANCAKE “CAPRESE” SANDWICH
I have been very busy this weekend including going on a great run with an awesome new blog (and now real life) friend spending the day and helping volunteer with Pets for Vets at a Puppy Mill Awareness festival…I had major puppy envy and wanted to take home 20 dogs.
But it wouldn’t really be a weekend recap if I didn’t tell you about the most delicious thing I have eaten all week.
I mean it’s no secret that I love the pancakes and “soul food plate” at Hugo’s, but this month they have really outdone themselves with their specials to commemorate the restaurant’s 30th birthday (I can only hope to age as gracefully when I hit that milestone in a few months).
I split 2 dishes with my friend Jen:
Eggplant Melanzine Layers of deep-fried crispy breaded eggplant, filled with tofu ricotta. Topped with mushroom-vegetable Bolognese sauce and Daiya cheese.
This dish was definitely rich, earthy and delicious, but the real star of the show was enough to elicit a flavor experience like none other.
I now present to you the potato pancake “caprese” sandwich
This vegan beaute consisted of two perfectly crispy and flavoful potato pancakes layered with grilled tofu, vegan mozzarella (tasted like Daiya to me), heirloom tomatoes and olive tapenade relish.
Jen and I seriously couldn’t even speak while eating this sandwich and I felt like I was frozen in time while I was eating this sandwich…nothing else existed.
All I can say is HUGO’s please keep this on your menu permanently!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coconut Flour FAIL
It pains me to say that a cooking failure went down this morning. My ego’s just slightly bruised though and my belly is satisfied. This morning began with the best of intentions. (Relatively) well rested after a girl’s night in which consisted of Thai food, vino verde, dark chocolate and plenty of giggling, my friend [...]
