BEHOLD! The Impossible Burger from Impossible Foods. This burger is specifically designed to “bleed” like real meat and has only been debuted at a couple of locations in California and New York, and now on the Las Vegas strip at Andrea’s at the Wynn! According to their website, the burger is made from “simple, all-natural ingredients such as...
Ahh, Doomie’s. One of our favorite traditions, when we come to LA, is to meet up with our friends Matt and Meggan at Doomie’s for a gorge fest. What We Ordered We started off with an order of the jalapeño poppers to split amongst the table. These and the buffalo wings are generally our go-to starters. We didn’t give the jalapeño poppers enough...
For Aaron’s birthday, Hayden’s parents took us out to True Food Kitchen in El Segundo, CA. It’s a new restaurant at this location, but the chain of restaurants opened in 2008 in Arizona and have locations in quite a few states with plans to continue expanding. Great news for us, so we can eat here on our travels! We started off with the kale...
We got a chance to go to the Vegan Street Fair while we were in Los Angeles and it reminded us of the Portland Vegan Beer and Food Festival. Except without all of the beer… and the drunken interactions. Ah, memories. We got to the fair a little later so we didn’t have to experience the massive lines that people were talking about most of the day. For the...
We knew a flat tire was bound to happen, but we didn’t realize that it was going to happen so quickly. While we were staying in Los Angeles, at some point, we picked up a screw in our tire. We noticed this as we were getting ready to take the truck in for its first oil change. Figuring that maybe they could look at it / fix it / patch it, we...
After leaving Portland and moving to Texas, we were seriously lacking in the sushi department. We had been craving sushi for what seemed like years, so when we arrived in LA, we knew this had to be our first stop. The restaurant is very quaint, so it could get busy during dinner. For lunch, however, there were plenty of empty tables. We tried the tasting menu, which...
Joshua Tree National Park was so awesome! The Joshua trees, or Yucca trees, look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. In addition to the cool trees, the rocks take on a life of their own. The landscape here is absolutely amazing. Hayden’s parents came for the weekend with their Great Dane, Gracie, so we took the dogs into the park. We drove up to the Keys...
We arrived on a Sunday during Presidents Day weekend, so the campsites were all booked up until Monday. Luckily, they offer primitive camping (no hookups) in a parking lot right on the lake at the end of the boat launch area. We were meeting up with friends who were already parked and set up. We pulled in and got out of the car after a VERY long 2 days, covering 800...
