No it's not a national holiday but it definitely should be. One of my weekend relaxation pastimes is cooking and while a lot of that is essentially meal prep for the week, I also take the time to try some stuff I may have seen on Insta or recipes from the new Rainbow Plant Life cookbook called Big Vegan Flavour (more on that another time). One of the recent statutory holiday Mondays became vegan sandwich day!
Vegan Sandwich Day
Do Chay - Vegan (Vegetarian) Restaurant
We have been to Do Chay before but a long time ago. We were at this location in January of 2020 and the now-closed Yaletown location in July of the same year. While Vietnamese seems to be the most common and best cuisine for plant-based eats, it may just be that Do Chay is the most creative of all these locally and is certainly one of our favourites. Once again, we arrived here with our This is Plant Curious offer in tow!
Cartems Donuts - Vegan Options
As we are now happy slaves of This Is Plant Curious, sometimes we just go for donuts since we have a coupon for them! Actually, Cartems Donuts is on Main Street at 6th and since we were in the neighbourhood we decided to fortify our blood sugar readings.
Mucho Burrito - Vegan Options
I know most of you think that Aldergrove is in a different time zone but we are actually still a part of the Translink area. I admit we are the last stop of Translink but nevertheless...I also think that per capita, we may be not doing too badly under the heading of "vegan eats available per capita", with the addition of Mucho Burrito in the last few weeks.
R & B Ale and Pizza House - Vegan Options
Nuba - Vegan Options
Have we never been to Nuba? I couldn't find a blog post and even if I had written a Zomato post (remember that thing? I was quite enthusiastic about it.) it would have been pre-vegan. So we decided to go to one of the four locations, namely Gastown. It is located downstairs in one of Vancouver's most recognizable and historic buildings, the Dominion Building, at the corner of East Hastings and Cambie.
Wegmans Grocery Store, Maryland - Vegan Options
Who blogs about a grocery store? Actually, I do...not to mention blogging about specific food products like vegan cheese, but I posted about Persia Foods in North Vancouver at some point in the past. What can I say, I love groceries! Anyway, I had heard of Wegman's thanks to listening to The Geologic Podcast (which you should definitely check out! It is not about geology but more about critical thinking) before we went to DC but didn't think of it as a place that a vegan would find to be such a paradise! We were only there 2 or 3 times during our week in the DMV but I miss it already!
