It's not every day that I take pleasure in being able to eat my own words.
A week before my visit, I got to talk to the chef about a really mean story that I overheard about him 2x from someone that I trust. We got it all sorted out, and he even sent me a picture of him...
HOLDING A BABY GOAT.
Whaaaat. Service here was fucking amazing, Megan is a boss and super-friendly. It's not every restaurant that I can go to in town that is not only vegan-friendly, not only goes out of their way to assure you that they're vegan-friendly, but even makes their own silken tofu and makes me a tofu charcuterie board. And vegan versions of their appetizers so that I don't feel left out! I teared up.
Then they made a dessert that wasn't just plain cut-up fruit! A week later, and the picture I posted on IG is still getting likes from all over the world. It tasted every bit as good as it looked. It was almost too pretty to eat.
So thanks, Chef Darren and the crew at Downtown Food! You guys are my new favorite.
