Yesterday, Joe and I went out to eat at... brace yourself, a vegan-friendly restaurant in BEREA! It's totally random and crazy, I know. I figure they probably thought they'd tap into the BW (college, and my alma-mater) market, but then they probably realized that most BW students live at home, or they live off their parents' semesterly payment to their food card. (p.s. I was neither of those things.) Either way, it's awesome for me to have a place nearby that is totally eco-concious, organic, and super vegany!

I partook in the "Wild Rhino Old Oat Burger," and while I was skeptical, the bonus for me with this veganizing is how much it forces me to choose items outside of my comfort zone. My first bite wasn't the best bite. I kinda felt like a horse with an oat bag strapped to my face, but then I took a bite with with all the fixins - a yummy mango salsa (which elicited my response of "who knew I loved mango so much?"), and I was deeelighted. It was really tasty, and really filling. I could only eat half.. though that may have something to do with the fact that I upgraded to some plump and yummy sweet potato fries.

When we left, we also took advantage of the bakery! I picked up an oversized, don't-tell-my-pants, vegan chocolate chip cookie, and a vegan "power muffin," which has an entire banana in each muffin, plus tofu, almond and flax meal, and cranberries! sounds good, right? I haven't eaten yet. I'll let ya know.

Anyways, if you're on the westside of town, stop in to Treehuggers Cafe for a meal, and tell 'em Ann sent you (don't do that. they don't know me.)
