@jonok and I have been having so many great food adventures this month, mostly thanks to the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge. This isn't an entry, but was a nice appetizer beforehand. It's nice to know these are always more

When I went to Tori for their Vegan Chef Challenge entry I wasn't expecting them to have a new, limited time ramen too! This Thai green curry ramen was packed with fresh, herbaceous flavor. There were some vegetables I didn't more

Tori on a rainy Friday night! What a great excuse to get the best ramen in the city and try another Vegan Chef Challenge entry! #tcveganchef

The menu states that this is a Korean baby pumpkin cake while the Vegan Chef more

This is Reverie's highly anticipated entry for the Vegan Chef Challenge. #tcveganchef

This salad more

This dish is on Umbra's regular menu and is the only vegan option under the "Mains" section. There's a vegan Mediterranean Bowl under the salads section that looks like it could be pretty filling too. The grilled asparagus more

It's time for the 2025 Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge! #tcveganchef

This was the first dish @jonok and I tried. It was cool to check out Umbra for the first time. It looks like they always have a couple vegan options more
