Veggie Jamaican grub in DT LA — Birdsong's Veggietaria

If you're going to be in downtown Los Angeles during lunch time, make sure to stop by this place! It is entirely vegetarian, possible vegan and the food is delishhhhhhhhh!  Keep in mind, most of its offerings are not healthy eating, but they do offer a great salad bar! Check it out!

Mac and Cheese, BBQ Drumsticks, Orange Beef over Brown Rice

Stop by Shine Cafe (in Morro Bay) if you're ever heading up North!

Great food, for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike! Trust me!

The vegetable spring rolls were my BF and my favorite! Yummmmm

Check out the menu:

I'm backkkkkk....Well, for now anyways!

Hello All-

Happy New Year! I know it's been over a year since I posted anything, but I had a legitimate reason: I met an amazing man last August and have been having the time of my life with him! But don't fret, I haven't stopped being a "veggiehiddentreasure" afficianado! As it happens, my boyfriend is also a foodie, a decadent-foods foodie, but a foodie nonetheless. So, needless to say we eat A LOT!

There's been a lot of change on the vegan/vegetarian scene in LA the past year and a half....Some great stuff, some not so great, so let's get to it...

1. CROSSROADS.  Yup, this gets the number one spot.  The opening of LA's first high-end entirely vegan menu is nothing short of AMAZING! On top of that, it doesn't hurt that the food is remarkably delicious. I've been there several times, and each time I enjoyed every single dish I tried (with the exception of the lasagna that seemed to have some rancid cheese action going on.) Here are some of my faves at Crossroads:

Pappardelle Bolognese

Scaloppini

Flatbread

Okra

Dessert

Scaloppini

If you haven't been to Crossroads yet, call and book a reservation IMMEDIATELY! You will be grateful you did...
