Salad & Voodoo Burger

The Chef: Elizabeth

The Menu: A lovely kale salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado, plus a Gardein Ultimate Beefless Burger topped with Nacho Mom's Voodoo Queso and a sprinkling of Parma!

The Goods: After our amazing trip to Portland for Vida Vegan Con (read: eating my own weight in awesome vegan food every day) I am very ready to return to my salad-eating ways. Kale, you're my best friend. While I was plating my salad for this here photo, an idea struck me. Since we had both the burgers and the queso just sitting around in the fridge, could these two great things go great together? Indeed they did!

Queso Veggie Sandwich

The Chef: Gabrielle and Java Beach Café

The Menu: A huge veggie sandwich featuring cucumber, tomato, avocado, sprouts, and mustard in a fresh baguette slathered with some warm and spicy Nacho Mom's Vegan Queso.

The Goods: Tired of lusting over our delicious Java Beach sandwiches? Well, I'm not tired of eating them, though I will be able to mix it up a bit when we move to our amazing new office in San Francisco's Mission district, an area known for excellent vegan offerings like at the fully-vegan Gracias Madre and Cha-Ya Vegetarian Japanese restaurant. Today's sandwich was one of those meals you think about for the rest of the day, due mainly to the delicious Nacho Mom's Vegan Queso I slathered all over it. Accompanying the sandwich is an essential pick-me-up in the form of GT's Synergy Kombucha. Though I usually make my own, sadly I had to leave my scobies back in Canada, so it's GT's to the rescue since this vegan doesn't buy into the controversy surrounding kombucha's alcohol content. Will there be brownies from Allison's Gourmet during my afternoon snack-fest? Um, probably!
