Mark your calendars. On Monday, August 29th, The Highland Grill in St. Paul is going experiment with a one-night vegan dinner. If it proves to be popular, it could lead to the restaurant--and other Twin Cities restaurants owned by the same company--adding vegan options on a permanent basis.
Highland Grill
Monday, August 29th, 5-9 p.m.
Menu:
Tomato and Grilled Tofu Salad, followed by Farro Risotto with
Grilled Mushrooms, Snap Peas & Eggplant
The two courses will be paired with two different vegan wines.
The price for the dinner and wine is $15.95

Pizza a Whole Foods
I stopped by the Minneapolis Whole Foods for a slice of vegan pizza, which has a nice mix of spinach, artichokes, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and olives.

Mill City Vegan Visits Chicago
I absolutely love making regular trips to Chicago. Here are the vegan highlights from our recent trip to this wonderful city.
The Chicago Diner. A long-time favorite. No trip to Chicago is complete without a trip to this place. This time, I had the Majestic Burrito and my wife had the Country Fried Steak. The burrito was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The steak was a super seitan goodness.
Our kids couldn't wait to go to iCream after seeing a feature on some cable tv food channel a year or two ago. Using liquid nitrogen, this place makes your ice cream creation--including soy ice cream--right before your eyes. They have a great variety of flavors.
We were fortunate enough to be in Chicago on the day that Native Foods opened their Wicker Park location. I had read about this California-based chain. Now I'm REALLY hoping that they consider expanding to Minneapolis. Fast, creative, and healthy food. Just fantastic! We had the Baja Surf Tacos (with a side of steamed kale) and the Ensalada Azteca Salad. I also ordered the strawberry parfait. I can't wait to return. They're opening other Chicago locations shortly.
