A chef special - not on the menu - to satisfy vegan diners, Cauliflower Steak, incorporates the Mediterranean vibe of Fulton Market Kitchen without any animal ingredients. Spicy, garlicky, olive oily, and cooked to el dente. more

My 2024 VWS meaningful moments -along with scrumptious food all day - I was inspired by two of my vegan heroes: Ethan Brown, founder of Beyond Meat & Jim Greenbaum, vegan movie maker and philanthropist. A day well spent! #VWS2024

Server told me this was the most popular dish at Planta. Slightly breaded, fried, depth of flavor. Broccoli was cooked to just warm - still crunchy. Delightful dish - hot and spicy sauce big bang bang winner. #chicago #broccoli more

Crispy, spicey, fresh, bite-size rolls met my expectations - and my expectations were high. PLANTA was on a few lists for must-visit restaurants in Chicago. The pleasure was mine. #chicago #plantachicago #vegantravel

My favorite restaurant in Indianapolis- delicious vegan-made hash. Blend of seasonal fresh veggies on a bed of hash browns. Finding restaurants like this one makes work travel fun. #indianapolis #vegantravel

#locallysourced, #organic

The complete patisserie experience, but vegan. Pretty bakery items behind glass, pick and choose - maybe with a coffee. Maybe buy bread for later. The flan was as tasty as it looked. #veganparis #veganflan #vegantravel
