End of the Line Cafe in Pensacola FL

End of the Line Cafe has a 100% vegan menu! Check out the fantastic foods I found.


Tempeh Caprese Panini
This amazing stack of plant food is made with rosemary roasted tempeh, roasted garlic plant-based mozzarella, Roma tomato, fresh basil & garlic oil on sourdough bread. Wow! This was really good! The toasted bread was perfect. The tempeh was delicious. The basil and rosemary flavor was all over the place. Excellent!




Quesadilla
The quesadilla has vegan pepper jack & cheddar "cheese", pico de gallo, black olives, jalapeƱos, and vegan sour cream on a bed of mixed greens. All of my favorites on one plate!




Dolma & Hummus Platter
This plate was vegan heaven! This has stuffed grape leaves & hummus, warm pita, cucumber & Roma relish, vegan feta "cheese", drizzled with spicy Tahini sauce. Absolutely fantastic!



End of the Line is a small vegan cafe across the street from the rail road tracks on the east side of downtown Pensacola. It's in an older building that does show it's age with worn textures, but they keep it clean. The dining area is functional with hints of rustic and industrial styling. They let people seat themselves and have walk-up service to keep it casual. There's outdoor seating in the back. This place is great, but it was very loud in there during lunchtime. I would recommend End of the Line Cafe to anyone who wants to eat delicious food.

Chizuko in Pensacola FL

I had an unusual experience at a vegan dive bar called Chizuko in Pensacola. Here's how it went.

I found a flat black painted building with no windows. It looked like a goth nightclub. The sign said "Chizuko".  I knew this was the place. I found a door and went inside. The darkness and cool air was like going into a cave. It was amazingly dark. 1990's Hip Hop music was playing. All I could see was some colored light and dark silhouettes. I followed the colored light to find the bar. When my eyes adjusted enough to see, I found myself  surrounded by a freakish but pleasantly interesting environment. As an artist, I immediately felt comfortable within the creative space. The lady at the bar quickly welcomed me with a smile.

New Belgium Dayblazer
I started the visit with a New Belgium Dayblazer. It was refreshing with a wheaty nutty taste. It was so good I had another one later.




I had to use light from a cell phone to see the menu until my eyes adjusted. The moment I walked in it was like visiting friends. The lady at the bar was very friendly. She said she named the place after her Japanese grandmother. The vegan snack food menu has a slight Asian theme. The place is full of strange objects like voodoo skulls, a Victorian sofa, bizarre paintings of crab-devil ladies, and a coffin as a coffee table. I went into one of the non-gender specific restrooms to wash my hands and was surprised to see this:



Wow! This place is full of visual surprises. These are my kind of people! Now back to the vegan food.



Kimchi Tater Salad
This was a creamy, tangy, chunky potato salad with crisp chunks hidden inside and topped with black sesame seeds. It was cool and refreshing. Very good!




Banh Mi Sliders
These tasted like they could be Gardein Beefless Sliders with some extra tasty veggie ingredients added to them. These tiny vegan burgers go well with beer.




Curried Boiled Peanuts
These boiled peanuts were very good! They're served in a pool of coconut milk with yellow curry, chili pepper, ginger, cilantro, and lemongrass. These may be the best boiled peanuts I've ever had. Messy but excellent! They come with hand wipes and napkins.





This visit was unforgettable. The building is uninviting from the outside, but anyone who goes inside will find a secret treasure of good vegan snacks and adult beverages served by friendly people in a visually exciting space. Chizuko has frequent comedy and music events. There's a patio/courtyard that is lit in blue light for anyone who smokes or wants to bring a canine partner. This place is amazing! If you're in Pensacola, you need to check this out!

Eggplant Poboy at Seed in New Orleans LA

I ordered an Eggplant Poboy sandwich at Seed in the beautiful city of New Orleans. This is pan-fried eggplant in a light cornmeal batter, roasted red peppers, onions, lettuce, and garlic aioli on poboy bread with a side of kale. This did have a bit too much bread, and it was a tiny bit dry. But those are very minor issues. I put some Louisiana hot sauce on it and it was great. I would definitely order this again!



I also got the Mac N Cheese. It was mild and creamy with perfectly cooked shell pasta. It's vegan! Everything at Seed is 100% vegan!

A Vegan Snack at Whataburger

The fries at Whataburger are vegan! They also have a few good vegan sauces. I got picante, salsa verde, and spicy ketchup. The sweet tea was good too.

Lentil Stew at The Wild Cow Vegetarian Restaurant in Nashville TN

This perfectly spiced lentil stew is a hearty comfort food. If you like this you will really like the Lentil Bowl which comes with organic brown rice. This is vegan!

Vegaan Garlic Toast

I used vegan ciabatta bread from Whole Foods, Earth Balance butter alternative, minced garlic, and oregano to make this delicious snack.

Cracker Soup

This is a good meal for vegans living in a poverty situation. This is cracker soup. It's really not bad for what it is. Take some cheap crackers (be sure they're vegan), add some water (preferably hot), and season it with whatever you have. I added salt and pepper to mine. I took this photo in the candle light because this is what poverty often looks like. Some vegans are fortunate enough to go to fancy vegan restaurants and cook nice meals in a clean kitchen. Some others must eat like this. I've done both.

Vegan Chocolate Truffles at Pizzelle Confections in Huntsville AL

Pizzelles Confections in Huntsville AL has vegan chocolate truffles! And look at these little jewels. I almost felt bad about eating something so beautiful. These two are some of the simple ones at Pizzelles. Check out the website to see the really fancy ones.



The one on the right is the Green Dragon. It's dark chocolate flavored with cardamom and coffee. The one on the left is a Raspberry Beret. It's dark chocolate with raspberry and orange zest.

Veggie Tacos at Chipotle Mexican Grill

Here you see Veggie Tacos at Chipotle. I asked for brown rice, extra pintos, a little bit of fajita veggies, a small amount of medium salsa, and lettuce. I wanted guacamole, but when I got to the guacamole I saw nasty pieces of cheese spilled over into it. It was good like this.

Nashville Ribz Plate at The Wild Cow Vegetarian Restaurant in Nashville TN

This is the Nashville Ribz Plate. The Wild Cow never disappoints. This was very good, but it's not on the menu. It was a "special of the day". Too bad you missed this one! This plate included barbecue seitan ribz over a bed of lettuce, a side of barbecue sauce, house baked beans, and Nashville potato salad. There was nothing light or mild about this meal except the lettuce. This plate was full of flavor!


I'm not much into meat substitutes, but the special of the day on this particular visit was something I've never had at The Wild Cow. I decided to give it a try since it was vegan.

The ribz were very good but so much like real meat that it was scary. I almost couldn't eat it. I needed more information to convince me it was not real meat. The taste and texture was exactly like ribs with no bone. There was a firm chewy side that was stringy and had crisp burnt edges and also a fatty soft side that stretched and appeared to be juicy like real fatty meat. It freaked me out for several minutes. But once I knew it was really veggies, I ate it and enjoyed the flavor. The sauce was very spicy. The lettuce added a good contrast with the spicy sauce and helped balance it out.

The beans were spicy, tangy, smokey, and sweet. I really noticed the celery. The sauce tasted like it possibly had the barbecue sauce in it too. It was a very similar bold flavor.

The potato salad was very chunky, creamy, and tangy with noticeable hints of dill, citrus, and celery. This also had a bold flavor. I also noticed some crunchy ingredients like onions and possibly grape tomatoes. This was very good but so flavorful that a small amount was plenty.

This was a great meal. The bold flavors were a bit more than I was expecting, but I enjoyed the meal and would recommend it to anyone who likes the traditional versions of these foods. This was a very convincing plant-based substitute for a classic omnivore meal. I will probably not get this again because it was just too much like eating real meat. Meat eaters, try this if you can! This is not the rabbit food you would expect.

Tofu Rancheros at Graze in Nashville TN

The Tofu Rancheros at Graze in Nashville TN is described as tofu scramble, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, vegan sour cream, green onions, and cilantro served on two grilled corn tortillas.
Everything about this was excellent. Even the tortillas were delicious.

A Vegan Lunch at Wendy's

Wendy's doesn't have much for vegans. My original plan was to get a side salad and a baked potato, but the salads have cheese on them, so I just got the potato. This is a plain baked potato with black pepper and a large sweet tea.


I only had to pay $3.90 for this meal. It came with butter and sour cream, but I told them to keep those. This was a pretty good snack. Wendy's often over-cooks the potatoes, but this one was good. This Wendy's was rough. Very rough. The whole place smelled like a dirty bathroom, the 1990s interior was sun-bleached and sticky, and the people inside looked scary. I won't say where it was. I will choose another Wendy's next time. It's good to know Wendy's does have food for herbivores.

Santa Fe Quinoa Salad from Ale's Kitchen in Straight To Ale Brewery in Huntsville AL

This is the Santa Fe Quinoa Salad from Ale's Kitchen at Straight To Ale Brewery in Huntsville AL. This is without the ranch dressing. This was fresh, chewy, crunchy, and creamy. The avocado sauce was spicy. This salad was huge!

Nachos with an Upgrade at The Wild Cow Vegetarian Restaurant in Nashville TN

I thought the Nachos at The Wild Cow could not possibly get any better. I order them almost every time because they are irresistible! But I discovered a new level of perfection. I went with an upgrade option and got them with fajita style seitan, peppers, and onions. This upgrade took the Nachos from amazing to fabulous! It was worth the extra charge. I've been missing out on it all this time. Now I know. This is the way to do it. Check this out!

Lightlife Smart Dogs with Sauerkraut

I've never been a big fan of meat or meat replacements, but every once in a while I like to experiment with vegan versions of "normal" foods just for an interesting experience. Here's a good meal for anyone transitioning to the veggie lifestyle. These vegan hot dogs taste just like regular hot dogs (maybe real hot dogs are not real meat?). And look. This is a non-GMO product!


I usually eat these hot dog wieners as a quick snack with a little bit of ketchup. This time I wanted to do something different.


After I lightly fried the sliced wieners in the skillet, I dumped a small amount of sauerkraut in there and added some spicy Boar's Head Delicatessen Mustard and just a tiny sprinkle of other spices. This is a very quick and easy meal.

This is not something I personally would make very often. It's not a favorite, but this is a good idea for anyone who may want to make the plant-based lifestyle a bit more interesting.

Roasted Garlic Hummus from Ale's Kitchen at Straight To Ale Brewery in Huntsville AL

This was great. The hummus was thick with a heavy but delicious bean flavor. It was drizzled with oil and topped with spices, basil, and kalamata olives. The olives were the best part and almost had a grape flavor. The corn tortilla chips were pretty firm but thin. The heavy flavor of this appetizer goes well with the Straight To Ale beer.

Loaded Potatoes at Graze in Nashville TN

The Loaded Potatoes meal at Graze is awesome! This includes oven fries, cashew cheese, seitan chorizo, guacamole, vegan sour cream, pickled jalapenos, green onions, and cilantro.


The Loaded Potatoes meal is a classic breakfast with a secret. The secret is that it's all plant material! Even meat-eaters could be deceived. This had a heavier, meatier flavor that omnivores would love. The smoky grill flavor makes this taste like something your grandma could have made in the skillet or something you could get at a greasy spoon on the old highway. Meat substitutes this good make vegans nervous! But everything at Graze is vegan.

Graze is a vegan restaurant specializing in breakfast and brunch comfort foods, dinners, smoothies, and juices. It's around the corner from Wild Cow Vegetarian Restaurant in East Nashville. This place is a funky, comfortable place that looks like a combination of a clean dive bar and a vegan version of Waffle House. They have vegan mixed drinks and they serve breakfast-style foods all day and night. The portion sizes are smaller, but the food is more filling than most other vegan food. The service is friendly. The environment is casual and relaxed. This is a great place for artists and musicians to socialize. Everything I've tried at Graze was awesome. I have not yet explored the entire menu but have plans to visit many more times.

Another Great Home-made Vegan Southern Plate

Here's more vegan soul food. I don't usually brag, but I'm getting pretty good at this. All of this was very good. I just went too light on the salt and had to add it after I put it on the plate. Here's what I made.


Spicy Breaded Tofu Nuggets
I made tofu cubes and left them in the water. I used a zipper sandwich bag and filled it halfway with non-GMO corn meal, white flour, salt, and creole seasoning. I removed the tofu cubes from the water and placed them in the bag, then I shook it all up until the tofu was coated. I baked the tofu until slightly brown.

Seasoned Black-eyed Peas
I soaked and slow-cooked dried peas, covered. When almost done, I added a little bit of cumin, chili powder, diced onion, diced jalapeno pepper, and salt.

Collard Greens
I slow-cooked fresh collard greens in water until the green color became brighter. Then I drained most of the water and added olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper and a bit of salt. I cooked a little bit longer until the green got slightly darker.

Corn Bread
I mixed a batter using non-GMO corn meal, white flour, non-GMO corn starch, baking powder, salt, olive oil, a small amount of sugar, diced yellow onion, diced red pepper, diced jalapeno pepper, a little bit of frozen non-GMO corn kernels, and water. Then I baked it in a casserole dish until brown on the edges.

Spinach with Potatoes 
I boiled potatoes with onion chunks and drained it, then added some frozen spinach and salt and slow-cooked it covered until the spinach was bright green.

Southern Plate by Chef Will The Palate in Huntsville AL

I always have trouble catching Chef Will when he's open. He's almost never open! But I finally caught him, and I got the Vegan Southern Plate. Here's what that looked like.

Southern Plate by Chef Will The Palate in Huntsville AL

Chef Will specializes in plant-based foods. This meal was very good except the rice was a bit cold. This plate included beans, rice, avocado slices, salsa, collard greens, cabbage, spinach, and fried plantains. This plate occasionally comes with really good vegan cornbread, but he didn't have any. Chef Will cooks real food from scratch. There are many layers of flavor, and it all tastes clean and natural. His presentation is usually better than this. The southern plate seems to be slopped together, but southern food is like that.



Chef Will The Palate was open during Lowe Mill's Concert On The Dock (that's a band playing on the dock under the lights). His trailer is really looking rough, but don't let that fool you. There's a real chef inside, and the food is so good people come back up after eating and tell him how amazing the food was. This time I overheard a lady telling Chef Will's assistant her husband thought the portabella over rice was the best he's ever had. Vegans and vegetarians need to check out Chef Will the Palate.

Vegan Biscuits and Gravy at Graze in Nashville TN

This was some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had, and this was vegan! Graze describes this as "house made biscuits smothered in gravy and house chorizo topped with green onions and fennel fronds".


The biscuits tasted great and had the texture of old-fashioned buttermilk biscuits. They were soft in the middle and slightly crispy on the outside. The gravy was smooth and tasty. I expected it to have a mushroom flavor, but it had a meaty flavor. The chorizo chunks were chewy and spicy like sausage. The cracked pepper and green onions made this dish perfect! Even meat eaters would love this for breakfast!

Hippie Nachos at Blackstone Pub & Eatery in Gadsden AL

This is the Hippie Nachos at Blackstone Pub & Eatery in Gadsden AL. To make it vegan I ordered it with no melted white cheese and no sour cream. This is corn tortilla chips topped with black beans, mushrooms, fresh cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, black olives, a single peperoncino pepper, and a side of salsa. I also had a Blue Moon Belgian White with an orange slice. This is all vegan!

Hippie Nachos minus cheese and sour cream at Blackstone Pub & Eatery in Gadsden AL

Blackstone Hippie Nachos is a generous pile of comfort food. They usually go heavy on the cilantro, which is why I like them so much. This time they went a bit easy on that and went heavy on the beans. That's great too! The beans were slightly dry and very flavorful, so they may be house-made from dry beans. In fact everything tasted very fresh. The salsa is very good and has a slight Tabasco sauce flavor. Without cheese, the Hippie Nachos basket does need extra salsa. The jalapenos were so hot this time I almost couldn't think straight (or maybe it was the beer getting to me). This was a great meal!

Blackstone Pub & Eatery is usually dark, loud, and crowded. They have frequent live music events in the evening. The building is very old, maybe over 100 years old, so it's rough and grimy inside, but it's very comfortable. Some recent improvements really helped minimize the biker bar feel it had. I'm no longer afraid to use their restroom. They have outdoor seating available for smokers and those with canine drinking partners. The beer selection is huge. The menu is mostly pizza, salad, and quesadillas. I discovered Blackstone during a visit to Gadsden's First Friday street festival. Now I stop by anytime I'm in town.

Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL

Ultimate Veggie Burger at Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL

The veggie patty was spicy. I'm not saying it was hot and spicy. I'm saying it had plenty of flavor from spices. And the texture was mostly soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. Chunks of veggies were mixed throughout the patty. The bun was clearly a gluten-free house-made bun. It was good, but most gluten-free bread has a texture that gives it away.  It had the texture and flavor almost like a soft southern biscuit. The vegan "bacon" had the tough, crunchy texture of real bacon but the flavor of grilled mushrooms. The "cheese" and  creamy "aioli" were excellent. It all came together to make a really nice sandwich. The spice made this one taste unlike any other veggie burger I've had. The size is generous and satisfying. The vegan "bacon" could have been a little bit saltier to make it taste more like real bacon, and the bread could have been just a bit sweeter, but those are very minor issues. This was an excellent veggie burger!


Smoked Jicama Slaw 
The meal came with one side option, so I chose the vegan slaw. This was served cold. It was crisp, tangy, and peppery. It seemed to be cauliflower with carrot, red pepper, and a creamy sauce. This was also excellent!

Smoked Jicama Slaw at Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL


Cloud 9 Cupcake
Mason Dixon Bakery makes vegan sweets too! Here's the Cloud 9 cupcake. The bottom part tasted like mild chocolate cake, and the top was very rich and sweet. This was excellent but very sweet.

Cloud 9 cupcake at Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL


Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL is a cozy little place that's vegan-friendly and specializes in gluten-free foods. The vegan items are clearly marked, and they identify all foods (GF, DF, EF, V, SF, rice free, corn free, potato free) to help people with special dietary needs. This is a rare and greatly appreciated treasure of prepared specialty foods in the south.

Mason Dixon Bakery appears to be in an old 1930s cottage-style house. It has a familiar smell of an old house, almost like Grandma's house with cookies in the oven. The floor echoes when people walk. The surfaces are worn but clean. The front door is clunky and loud. The rooms are small. They do offer outdoor seating on the large deck for those who need more space. During my visit, I received friendly southern service with smiles. I felt like a guest in someone's home. I usually prefer modern restaurants, but this was really nice. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially those with food restrictions.

Chargrill Portobello from Ale's Kitchen at Straight To Ale Brewery in Huntsville AL

Huntsville AL has a brewery call Straight To Ale. Inside the bar area they have Ale's Kitchen. They serve a great selection of really impressive dishes, mostly non-vegetarian. But they do have this vegan mushroom burger! Check this out. This is some awesome bar food!

Chargrill Portobello from Ale's Kitchen at Straight To Ale Brewery in Huntsville AL

They describe this as "balsamic marinated portobello mushroom, chargrilled then topped with grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, and smooth avocado sauce -Vegan!". I chose the side salad minus cheese with balsamic vinaigrette dressing as my side option. I had this with Straight To Ale's Brother Joseph's Belgian Style Dubbel (8% ABV). That grilled portobello mushroom was huge! Although it says it's chargrilled and has grilled onions on it, the grilling process is NOT done with the meats (that's what I was told by someone who went to the kitchen to ask). I was told they cook this in the same place they toast the quesadillas. There's a slight chance cheese may get on it, but I didn't find any on my food. Every part of this meal was fantastic!

Vegan Camp Potatoes

I made some potatoes at my camp site up in the mountains. These were seasoned with rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil. It's easier to prepare this before the camping trip and keep it in the cooler until it's time to cook.

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza in Franklin TN

Here's a vegan version of the Mediterranean Salad and a vegan pizza at Brixx Wood Fired Pizza in Franklin TN. To make the salad vegan, just leave off the feta cheese and substitute the dressing for balsamic vinaigrette. The pizza has Daiya vegan cheese instead of mozzarella with kalamata olives, roasted garlic, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts. It's very similar to the Rustica pizza. Brixx is vegan friendly.

Beast Mode Food Truck in Huntsville AL

There's a food truck called Beast Mode that operates in Huntsville AL, and they have some vegan options on the menu. I met with other plant eaters and we all ordered the vegan versions of the Veggie Burger. The regular Veggie Burger is not vegan, and we had to pay extra for the vegan options.

Vegan Veggie Burger from Beast Mode in Huntsville AL

This beautiful pile of plant material was carefully crafted with quality ingredients. It included toasted vegan bread, hand-made vegan patty, vegan cheese, guacamole, vegan pesto sauce, spring mix greens, and tomatoes. Everything about this was excellent. It was crunchy, soft, fresh, creamy, juicy, and savory. The veggie patty was softer than I prefer, but the taste made up for it. Every ingredient was fresh and delicious. Beast Mode offers a nice selection of sauces at the service counter. I chose sriracha sauce and ketchup (not pictured).

This meal came with one side item. The vegan options were chips (the popular brands), vegan hash browns with vegan cheese, and chickpea veggie crisps. I chose the vegan hash browns.

Vegan Hash Browns from Beast Mode in Huntsville AL

This was also an excellent product, however it was a bit oily, and the vegan cheese wasn't melted (vegan cheese takes longer to melt). Again, the taste made up for it, and this was still excellent. This was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I did add a sprinkle of salt and pepper just to perfect it for my own personal experience.


Beast Mode makes real food by hand with quality ingredients. Based on the menu, the food seems to be composed of delightful layers of flavor and texture. They must have a real chef in there! Most of the food is non-vegan. The service was excellent, and they know how to make vegan food. That's quite rare in the food truck world. We did need to request vegan options on each item because the vegetarian foods normally come with non-vegan toppings. But it's great to know they can do it and do it very well.

This was expensive (I paid about $13 plus a tip), but it was nice to try something new. It was a satisfying experience, and I would gladly order the same thing again if I could afford it. I would recommend Beast Mode to anyone.

Vegan Valley Nacho "Cheddar" Cheeze Sauce

Vegan Valley Nacho "Cheddar" Cheeze Sauce is the best vegan cheese I've found in the grocery stores. This stuff is excellent! It tastes as good as real nacho cheese. I like to use this as a cheese dip for tortilla chips. This is expensive, but it's worth the price. I love Vegan Valley Nacho Cheeze!


UPDATE: I've been having trouble finding this product in my local stores. It was at Whole Foods, then it was gone. Later, I found it at Food City. Now it's gone again. Too bad for me.
