| - I like this place because its covers both ends on the vegan food spectrum; offering both deep fried fake meat, and healthful salads and juices. You can stay completely on either side, or pick from both, as I am generally want to do.
For my first visit with two of my lady pals, I had the chick-un bahn mi, which I really enjoyed. The fake chicken had a great texture and flavour, and the baguette it came on was equally delicious. They haven't updated their online menu to reflect the sandwich toppings in house, but I'm sure both versions are equally good, if not a little different. Tempted by the smell of them wafting out of the kitchen, I opted for a side of fries over salad or soup, which I don't regret because they are excellent.
In an attempt to balance out my meal, I opted for the fresh beet, apple, and ginger juice. With no added sugar it was a refreshing compliment to my dinner.
I don't know what got into me because I rarely order desserts, but the carrot cake was calling my name, and when I learned it doesn't have raisins in it (which I feel strongly it never should) I answered. It was also delicious. Super moist and with a tangy sweet cream "cheese" frosting.
Overall my experience at Grasshopper was solid and it gets extra points for a full meal + juice + dessert coming in at under $30 before tip.
