Nature's Express

.

We took the boys here today for some vegan fare and I'm happy to say that we enjoyed our food quite a bit. And given the nature of eating out with our kids, everyone got to try everything. I ordered a burger (Southwest / Spicy Black Bean / / Whole Wheat). Delicious. The patty lost its form as I ate and started to squish out the sides, but that was okay. Would've been perfectly okay had I not been sharing with people too young to adapt to shape-shifting food.

Lynsey got the quinoa wrap which tasted like fresh air. (Why is it that ginger has that effect?) The quinoa was just right and the veggies perfect and the whole effect was on spot. The Big O and Large S both said they want this next time we come. (And mine the time after that.)

The Big O ordered the Spicy Rizo burrito which was spicier than expected (which meant Large S didn't eat much of it) but O said his mouth got used to it as he ate and that it was delicious.

Large S ate the Grilled Mac & Cheese which was a good example of restaurant mac and cheese. S was particularly taken with the shredded carrots on top.

We also ordered the Air-Baked Sweet Potato Fries which were the only thing Little Lord Steed even touched. They were good. I suppose the better examples I've had were probably fried. The house ketchup tastes like fresh tomatoes. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

So good vegan cuisine. Check it out. We all enjoyed our food.

(Note: Because the boys were with us we didn't try out any of their exotic sodas, but I hope to sometime. I can't believe I've never had a rhubarb soda before!)
