During my 6 miler a couple hours ago I thought about the last time I talked about anything vegan on the blog....it's been quite a while! Well everybody...I do have some vegan updates for you all:
Update #1 : I had the most incredible tempeh-potato dish ever a couple of weeks ago. Val and I decided to hit up Philly last Sunday (yes, when we go to hip, cool cities we do so on the weekend...during the afternoon) and knew we were in for a treat.
We visited two vegan joints: Pure Sweets & Co. and Vegan Commissary.

At Pure Sweets & Co, we found the decor to be beautiful, but the prices to be outrageous. We paid (yep...still bought some food) just over $20 for a 10 ounce bottle of freshly squeezed juice and two small cookies. Val and I have had better and bigger cookies for half the price we paid so needless to say--although I'll still say it--we won't be heading back there anytime soon.
Vegan Commissary was just fantastic. Val got a breakfast sandwich/burrito (can't remember which) and I got the Veggs Damien which used a vegg egg and vegg yolk in the dish. This was my and Val's first experience with Vegg and I very much enjoyed the egg-substitute.
Something interesting about the place...no menus!
Okay that's all for now. Get out to Philly and grab some vegan grub!
Our Philly vegan experiences so far include:
- HipCityVeg (vegan meets fast food...and falls in love)
- Vedge (fine dining)
- Vegan Commissary (didn't mention this earlier, but we went for brunch. Our favorite!)
- Pure Sweets & Co.
Happy Running..and eating!
I am so jealous that you had the opportunity to go to Vedge! I recently borrowed their cookbook from the library, and the recipes, while labor intensive, were some of the most incredible and beautiful uses of vegetables I've ever eaten. I now regularly make an eggplant dish inspired by one of their recipes!
