Serious Reads: An Extravagant Hunger, by Anne Zimmerman

I was lucky enough to catch Anne Zimmerman do a reading from An Extravagant Hunger. Having read a fair amount of M.F.K. Fisher's prose, Anne wove threads through the narratives, tightening up my understanding and appreciation of her life.

Lovely review of a must read book!

The Vegetarian Option: Bangers & Lace

Delicious review Roger!

My friend always says "quinoa is the vegetarian's crack." I told her she was crazy. But the lust riled up by that stuffed acorn squash with quinoa makes me think she's on to something...

I'm personally a huge fan of Tofurky sausages, but I've heard a lot of complaints about their high sodium content, so it's not for everyone. And like kdewitt, I think Field Roast is practically perfect.

The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples

Have you tried braggs liquid aminos? It is similar to soy sauce, but less salty and more complex. It's my one certified hippy-dippy-veggie pantry staple. I like it on just about everything: steamed broccoli, fresh raw tofu, lentil barley soup, soba, rice, roasted veggies...

The Vegetarian Option: The Purple Pig

These dishes sound so great—especially that whipped feta— it makes me wonder, why order meat at all?!

Just kidding*!

Vegan: Broccoli Rabe and Antipasti Panini with Olive Salad

It's disheartening when a meatless variant is simply the original minus the meat... or worst, with a slab of non sequitur tofu or grilled mushroom tossed in. As you noted in the accompanying Vegan Experience, remove the qualifier "vegan" from this description and who would even notice!

Eating vegetarian/vegan in New Orleans

Last time I was there, I had a very nice vegetarian/vegan friendly dinner at Upperline. The food was good—through not great—but the restaurant was extremely kind and accommodating of me and my non-vegetarian friend's meals were outstanding.

Otherwise, The Old Coffee Pot was my go to breakfast spot in the French Quarter. The Eggs Sardou are my favorite (though contain cream and butter), but you could get a custom omelette to enjoy in their lovely courtyard.

@Erin Mosbaugh - Your pic totally inspired me to "get inside" the oven :)

From Slice

Santa Monica, CA: Milo and Olive

@Burger365 - Its equally beautiful in your mouth!

@darklighter - Yes, you do need the garlic knot in your life :)

@L.A. Pizza Maven - Mozza is less oily. I happened to go to Mozza (Newport) a few day after a visit to Milo and Olive and found the most distinct difference between the two the level of doneness. Mozza's pies—in my experience—verge on burnt while these tend to be slightly under.

@SkyHighGluten - This is why I leave the 'splaining to you WFO people.

From Slice

Santa Monica, CA: Milo and Olive

@SkyHighGluten - I know, right. I 'm still shocked it's not deep fried!

@JoshATX - The long cook time is part of the beauty of this style, closer to a loaf of bread then a neapolitan-style crust. Still, I pulled up my notes regarding cooking and in Josh Loeb's own words: "600 on the floor and 700 on top. They cook for about 10 minutes." Bye Bye pinky ;)

The Vegan Experience, Day 10: Surprise! 7 Foods You Thought Were Vegan!

Daiya is my favorite vegan cheese (great on pizza!), but more hardcore vegans I know think it tastes like industrial wax and plastic...

@MerMei - I was once served a "vegetarian" sandwich on British Airways that contained "Chicken Mayonnaise." The bread was smeared with mayo and little flakes of chicken. It was too funny to be upsetting...

The Vegan Experience, Day 6: Calorie Control

Ditto on the sumac-marinated onions! I've only had sumac'ed cucumbers, but loved them to death!

@ArkyTrojan: It's apropos that you bring up the Veggie Grill. The guys who started it were just trying to cut back on meat, but became vegan through the process of opening the restaurant. It's a Southern California thing, but they are opening in Portland on Monday:) I encourage you to go back and try the chicken dishes, they're my fav!

Hey, I'm just throwing this little correction out there cause I've seen it written in a few places: The cheese is sourced from Gloria, but only the burrata.

@LAPM - I've been! A few times now... I didn't want to spit out a review too quickly because Milo and Olive is—to put it simply—a game changer. But you can count on the post next week.

But please tell me you tried the Garlic Knot. All other garlic knots should bow down in shame and admiration of M&O's!

Los Angeles: A New Year Brings A Delicious New Burger from Rush Street

I eat here a lot. Like a lot a lot. For whatever reason they insist on serving that "just ok" Falafel Burger for lunch, while at night they offer the significantly more delicious Falafel Sliders. (3) Two-bite sized nuggets of crispy falafel on a sweet Hawaiian rolls with thin slices of cucumber and a drizzle of tahini. It's a great argument for a Rush Street night with vegetarian friends.. (hint hint ;)
