I roll with a group of problematic bachelors and we call ourselves The Squad.

I love spinach just as much as Popeye does, so I’m glad Tarantino’s didn’t drown the salad in dressing. I’m just more excited to be eating vegan croutons more than anything else.

As The Simpsons have taught us, you don’t win friends with salad. However, Tarantino’s homemade Caesar dressing is to die for.

The Chicken Parmesan was a solid dish at Tarantino’s, but I was disappointed by what looked liked to be “store bought” cheese (looks like Follow Your Heart or Violife or Daiya) coating the piece of “chicken” rather than more

This lasagna is made from scratch entirely in-house at Tarantino’s and it’s phenomenal.

The best vegan cannoli I’ve ever had. Seriously. This dessert was a triumph.

The best vegan tiramisu I’ve had outside of Milan, Italy.

Oatly!’s Oat Milk Barista Edition is the best plant-based milk to use with coffee or to froth for lattes or other specialty drinks. Prove me wrong, because you can’t.

The Jalapeño Vegetable Fried Rice was slightly better than the Szechuan Crispy Tofu that I had ordered, but not by much. If I were to ever revisit Graffiti Bao, I would just stick to the Vegetable Dumplings and nothing else.

I don’t grasp how this was “Szechuan” style crispy tofu as it was pretty bland. Despite the toasted chilis and chili oil, this dish had pretty much no taste at all.

There’s quite a good amount of vegan options at Gelatology, which is amazingly unexpected for a gelato place. There’s both vegan gelato and sorbetto available. I opted for the strawberry sorbetto over the gelato equivalent more
