Mission Burger and Super Salad

The Chefs: Abby, Laura, and Mission Burger

The Menu: Um, some of the biggest, most awesome veggie burgers we've ever had. Laura was kind enough to bring us all these fantastic treats from her neighborhood. The burgers themselves are an incredibly yummy mix of mushrooms, soy beans, sweet potatoes, and other bits and bobs, served on delicious bread with a wasabi aioli and avocado. Did she also bring crispy, salty fries? Yes, yes she did. Abby, representing the Vegan Yum Yum recipe quotient for today, made a gorgeous salad complete with Swiss chard, grated carrots, red quinoa, and the Smoky Miso Tofu and Sweet Miso Dressing from the book.

The Goods: We have a new winner! Congratulations to Lorena from yesterday's comments. Lorena, send us an email and we'll send your copy right out! For today's copy, we're going back to our roots. Well, kinda. Since Vegan Yum Yum was a blog before it was a book, and, you know, this here is a blog, tell us in the comments your (non-Café VegNews, of course) favorite blog.

  6. I love Vegansaurus for their witty and hilarious style of writing and updates in my city. But I also love Vegandad for his down-to-earth recipes that are easy for beginners like myself to make and that the whole family enjoys.

  18. you didn't say it had to be food related, right? my favorite blog is gofugyourself.com. i don't have a lot of personal fashion, but i love looking at it and i love what jessica and heather say about what celebrities are wearing. it's usually hilarious and i like that it's what they're wearing and not tearing down the people themselves. (i.e. perez hilton)

  19. My favorite is Lets Get Sconed. Not only is the title kick-ass, but the food is too. It's fun to read about the different places she travels too.

  28. I worship Sarah Kramer, so I'd have to go with http://www.govegan.net/, but I've recently gotten into Vegan Yum Yum after finding her on Twitter. LOVE that she represents Boston, where I live! Believe it or not, veganism is possible in a place where Clam Chowdah and Lobstah rule.

  29. If I absolutely have to pick a favorite (and this is hard because there are some many amazing vegan food blogs that I follow), I would have to say FatFreeVegan.
