Nowhere on My Vegan's menu does it say "Thai food" or "Thai cuisine" or even "pan-Asian," whatever that means, but with an assortment of curries, pad Thai, pho, hang noodle, kung pao, miso, wonton soup, Thai iced teas and a Thai Arnold Palmer, you start to notice that, just maybe,......

There's ice cream and then there's "Oh my God, this is so good I'd walk to Palmdale for this" ice cream. The almond butter and jam flavor at KindKreme -- a raw/organic/mostly vegan "icekreme" shop -- is the latter. Thankfully, you don't have to walk to Palmdale because, according to......

There's something seriously strange going down at Govinda's Natural Food Buffet in Culver City, and it's not the meals they serve. One recent evening, a woman in a large robe told a young girl sporting a shaved head, "Because of Krishna, you are my best friend." What that means is......

Remember all those times your mom told you to eat your Brussels sprouts? And remember how you never did because you thought they were bland and had a weird texture? Well, it turns out, you were right and mom was wrong. Kind of. A million hipsters notwithstanding, Brussels sprouts can......

The blonde waitress at Fatty's & Co sports a septum piercing -- because that's what waitresses at vegan/vegetarian restaurants do. That said, this nose-ring in question might be the only thing the Eagle Rock eatery has in common with other vegan/vegetarian restaurants. For starters, Fatty's and Co takes reservations, which......

Lomita is known for two things -- a railroad museum and as the place where Olympian Jim Thorpe died -- and veganism isn't one of them. But thanks to Soho Thai Fusion Bar & Grill, that might change. Soho's menu features a "Vegan Zone," which includes soy chicken, soy shrimp......

Let's just get this right out of the way: Northridge-based Lenny & Larry's makes the best pre-packaged vegan cookie on the market. That's a bold statement, but the numbers -- and taste buds -- don't lie. Last year, Inc. Magazine ranked the company at No. 1,314 on its list of......

The Vegan Joint can't be smoked, but that's OK because all three locations (West Los Angeles, Hollywood and Woodland Hills) serve breakfast all day. Some might say that's even better than a vegan joint. They'd be wrong, but they'd say it. Owner Rattana P. (who'd prefer her last name not......

There's plenty to say about No Udder Desserts, an all-vegan bakery located in a Woodland Hills mini-mall. However, for just one second, forget all about the fact that the eatery sells tempting treats such as chocolate cake and Vinkies (vegan Twinkies, basically), brownie cookies, gluten-free whoopee pies, apple turnovers, cheesecake,......

The menu at Hermosa Beach vegetarian restaurant The Spot Natural Food Restaurant indicates that the place serves desserts, but unless you're the reincarnation of Andre the Giant, you'll never know for sure. Because only the former Eighth Wonder of the World would be able to complete the Tamale Combo Plate......
