Posted on January 18, 2012 by jess sconé • 5 Comments

The following is a continuation of menu food porn from my recent Veggie Grill weekend.

While I could sit here for hours and slowly being to photo document my December-long travels in Southeast Asia, deciding the next day’s destination on a whim, sleeping in a bamboo hut alongside a river, attempting to rock a saree at a Sindhi wedding, watching the sunset from the steps of ancient ruins, or the … Continue reading »

Earlier this week, after an enjoyable stint as a vegan trolley tour guide, I was out at a very vegan-friendly restaurant for dinner, and I couldn’t bring myself to order anything. It’s as if my entire menu-ordering mindset had shifted over the weekend at the soft opening for Native Foods Cafe. I’ve lived in Portland for … Continue reading »

Since I’m busy elsewhere during MoFo month, I asked some special friends to help out over here.
