So my girlfriend is vegan and gluten free too, so recently I've delved deep into the dark web that is vegan dining. We went to an all plant based restaurant this past weekend called Vertical Diner in Salt Lake. This diner is a perfect snapshot of exactly how I imagine heaven to look like, or at least Portland, Oregon. After looking over the menu I decided on the fried "chicken" and mashed potatoes because that sounded amazing. No joke, vegan fried chicken is super good. I don't even know how to explain it because it was way different than eating actual chicken, but I'd say that the Colonel would deem it "finger lickin' good". Also the vegan gravy that they put on the mashed potatoes was like the greatest thing I've ever tasted.
If anyone is looking to branch out a bit and have some really good food that might just change your mind when it comes to vegan cooking, you should totally check out this place. Also because everyone who works/eats at the restaurant looks like an extra in Portlandia. And who doesn't love that?
You're very brave for trying vegan - I tried going vegetarian with my wife for like a week and couldn't make it more than 3 days. Glad there are stronger people out there than me haha.
ReplyDeleteI dated a vegan once, she was also gluten free and allergic to peanuts. I married my wife instead, who loves meat and is not allergic to anything. But I am glad you had a great experience! And I hope the relationship works out!
