Vegan day 247: Dos Caminos
“VEGAN SAFE”– this phrase was delivered to me with my dinner entree! I love being spoiled. One might just assume beans are vegan if it’s already stated that they are “vegetarian” but apparently, that is not the case. Same goes for rice too (in general)! Many restaurants love their butter and why not. Butter fattens everything up to an explosion of flavor where people go “WOW- never tasted so good”. Of course it’s good- most items that fall in this category of deception are good to the palette, but certainly not good for you. Butter, salt and sugar can make anything taste good. That goes for fake butter too.. and vegan butter. Add white flour to that mess and you have the nations health crisis by the throat.
Anyway, the waiter saved me. I would have never known! For that alone and the fact that one can usually survive well in Mexican restaurants, this place was a favorite. Did I mention guacamole? I could live on that. Dos Caminos does need to hire me though to spice up their guacamole- just saying!
Dos Caminos is a standard favorite among many New Yorkers- from ambiance, to food and service and the vibe/ scene. We had a great time there for a birthday dinner. My favorite part of the night was checking out the taco holder dish. I said I must have one of these. I have to be careful what I say though because I have great friends and they will literally go looking for one. Anyway, wonderful night and many vegan options. The spinach was the BEST I HAVE EVER HAD! They added raisins and pumpkin seeds- no butter! Insane!*Writers block: Skipped blogs 233- 246! It’s too bad because I prepared some interesting vegan foods- dehydrated; however, I will be making some of them again soon so the recipes will be here!
