Last, but certainly not least, our final stop before arriving in Austin to live, was Dallas, Texas. Now, I’ve never really been a fan of Dallas. I’ve never really felt it had much to offer me. I heard rumors of an all vegan diner in Dallas when I was just a vegetarian living in Houston, though I could never seem to justify a 4 hour drive for a place I knew nothing about. So I took this oppertunity to go check it out, years later.

Oh man, was this place awesome! EVERYTHING was vegan. I always get stoked in 100% vegan places, because I know I can have ANYTHING I want, which is unusual. I ordered the patty melt and a shake, and they were so delicious. the shake was topped with soy whipped cream, which, if my tastebuds serve me right… i think it was soyatoo. I’m not really a fan of the soy whip, but the shake was awesome. I got cookies n cream, and Vic got one with peanut butter in it (the name was something like “librarian”?). It was awesome. I hate when he chooses things that I like more than what I ordered. haha! I hate when places like this don’t serve fries, though. sometimes I just want to be unhealthy (ok, most of the time) and get fries with my sandwich! :( It was cool that they had potato salad, but I wasn’t really a fan of it, here.

I think I’ll be finding more excuses to go back to Dallas, now…

on the way down to Austin, we stopped in Nashville. this was my second time in Nashville, seeing as how I stopped here on the way up to Maryland. We Visited Grin’s cafe, which is a vegetarian cafe located in the Ben Shculman Center for Jewish Life at Belmont University. I got a wrap, which was pretty good. I’d stop there again if i were in Nashville.

We also went to my favorite coffee shop in Nashville, Bongo Java. Bongo Java actually owns Grin’s cafe. I thought the cup sleeves were cute; they read, “practice safe coffee. always use a bongo coffee condom”.
