| - One of my idols is vegan Chef and New York Times Bestselling cookbook author Tal Ronnen. Tal was recently involved in the launch of 25 new vegetarian and vegan options at The Yardhouse restaurant, which utilize Gardein (plant-based lean meat products).
I got a text from my friend asking me if I would want to go to dinner with him and Tal, who was in town for work. I wrote him back and said that I was a big fan of Tal's and would be honored to join them for dinner. I didn't see the exact vegan options on the Yardhouse menu online, but I apparently didn't click on the right link for AZ printable menu, which shows all the available Gardein options. As I was looking over the menu, I was so impressed with the variety of menu items available-from appetizers, to salads, to burgers and entrees. Tal suggested that we order a few items, so that we could sample a variety of plates. We ordered a chopped salad, onion rings, veggie beef sliders, veggie BBQ chicken pizza (for our non-vegan friends), veggie chicken rice bowl and veggie orange peel chicken. If you are vegan and you order the veggie beef sliders, just make sure you order them dry.
Everything I tried was super delicious and flavorful. I know that I will be back 10,000 times in the future because it is a place I can go with my non-vegan friends and not sacrifice on my vegan options.
I found out tonight that chef for the Yardhouse in LA took over 6 months to find the perfect pickle to accompany the veggie beef sliders...guess a good pickle is hard to come by!
If you have an opportunity to eat at The Yardhouse, please support their vegetarian and vegan options. I can honestly say you will love them!
