  I was quite surprised a few weeks ago to get an invite to a private tasting at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills for their new vegan menu.  Created by Executive Chef Ashley James (who is not vegan himself), the “street-inspired” vegan dishes are available starting at 4:00 pm in the hotel’s Windows Lounge.  It’s a small menu consisting of  six “small... Read More

I’ve been getting a lot of food samples sent to me recently, and I’m kind of all about it.  It seems like there is a new vegan product on the market every other day, and the variety of food items you can get meat-free is becoming mind blowing.  It’s impossible to sample them all, but goddamn it, I am going to try!

Well, who would have thought.  There are now not one, but TWO, vegan macaroni and cheese frozen meals on the market.  An embarrassment of riches for sure, but there can only be one winner.  Right?  Okay, not really, if you’re a frozen mac n’ cheese you’re already a winner… but I digress.  For your consideration:  The Mac N’ Cheese Wars! In one... Read More
