A New Era for One of LA’s Vegan Staples

There are certain vegan spots in Los Angeles that feel bigger than just a restaurant. The Vegan Joint is one of those places. For over 20 years, they’ve been part of the foundation of vegan food culture in LA, and if you’ve been in the scene for a while, then you already know the impact they’ve had on this city.

A Brunch I Don’t Have to Think About… Ocado in Sherman Oaks

There’s something different about a place that’s not just good; it’s consistent. Ocado is one of those spots for me. It’s right here in Sherman Oaks, part of my everyday world, and every time I come here, they show up and they show out. It’s not even a question anymore; it’s expected. And that’s what makes it special.

A Deeper Look Into What I Thought I Already Knew

A Deeper Look Into What I Thought I Already Knew

There’s something special about returning to a place you already love and still finding something new. The Grain Café has always been one of my go-to spots in Los Angeles. It’s a place that has never steered me wrong, whether it’s their breakfast burrito or their classic staples that I’ve come to rely on. But this time felt different. This wasn’t about my usual order. This was about stepping into something more intentional — experiencing dishes that hold meaning and represent who they are at their core.

This One Grew With Me

There are certain places that don’t just become your go-to; they grow with you. Veggietize Me is one of those places for me. I’ve been coming here since I first moved to Los Angeles; almost five years now; and in that time, I’ve experienced so many different versions of myself. My “junk food era,” my “balance era,” and now stepping into a space where I’m a little more intentional about what I’m putting into my body. And through all of that… Veggietize Me has always been there.

This One Was Never Just About Food

This One Was Never Just About Food

There are certain places that don’t just feed you; they stay with you. ID-Eclair is one of those places for me. From the moment I first walked in, I knew there was something different about it. Not just the pastries, not just the presentation, but the intention behind everything. It felt thoughtful. It felt elevated. It felt like care. When I recently went back to film my full YouTube feature, that feeling didn’t change. If anything, it deepened. Because this time, I wasn’t just walking in as someone discovering something new; I was returning to something that had already left a mark on me.

This Blog Is a Love Letter to a Community Union

If you’ve been following my Best Vegan Burgers in LA journey, you already know this — I haven’t been writing blogs for every stop. Most of the storytelling has lived in video, comments, DMs, and real-time conversations with the community.

But this one felt different.

This wasn’t just about trying a restaurant.

This was about listening.

So many of you told me, “You have to go to All Vegan Franks.”

And almost immediately after, “You’re not done — Lucky Catsu is right there too.”

Âu Lạc — Slowing Down, Listening, Receiving

Some places don’t rush you.

They don’t ask for performance.

They invite you to arrive exactly as you are.

That’s what Âu Lạc felt like to me.

This wasn’t just another Food Review Friday. This was one of those moments where food, space, and timing align — where you realize you’re not just eating, you’re receiving.

The Pizza Class That Reminded Me What Community Feels Like

There are restaurants you enjoy… and then there are restaurants that become part of your story. For me, Donna Jean has never been “just dinner.” It’s been community. It’s been comfort. It’s been one of those rare places that feels like it sees you back.

PETA’s ThanksVegan at Kindred Spirits Care Farm — A Celebration of Compassion, Love, and Light

There are certain traditions that feel less like events and more like homecomings — and PETA’s annual ThanksVegan at Kindred Spirits Care Farm has become one of mine. This was my third year showing up for this gathering, and every time I step into this space, I feel something in me soften… open… realign. It’s something I truly look forward to every year because it reminds me why compassion is at the center of everything I do.
