amazingveganrestaurant!!!

i was invited to meet some friends here for lunch yesterday. what an amazingveganrestaurant!!!

we started with the zucchini blossoms appetizer, which were incredible. the server told me go with either the impossible burgers or the chicken and waffles. one person in our group did the impossible burger, another the crossroads bowl, and the other autumn bowl. all were excellent!!

i am going to make the trip back for sure!!

i normally don’t do much on weekend nights, since i tend to do all of my adventuring during the day, but when my friend (who i met from my marathon training team last year) invited me to attend a concert with her at the troubador, i agreed because why not?. before getting to the venue at 8pm, we had dinner at a way-too-fancyveganplace—crossroads kitchen.
