I confess I hate Las Vegas. It is not the town for the pragmatic or the vegetarian, so there are two strikes against me right there. However, after recently seeking out Veggie House, I now have a reason to look forward to refueling in the (cultural) desert.
In the ancient tradition of vegetarian Chinese cooking, Veggie House serves some of the best mock meat for miles. Veggie House offers an extensive menu of cruelty-free seafood, beef, and chicken. Enjoy the crispy “beef” and save the sweetfaced cow. 
Veggie House is truly a vegetarian oasis in one of the world’s most unrelentingly carnivorous cities. Located in Chinatown, it will also get your uncultured ass off that gawd awful soul-less strip.

Cumin imbues deeply warm flavor to beans and soup. 
Auspicious Turmeric possesses major health benefits and is currently the subject of a number of studies. Sprinkle the yellow spice on almost anything for pleasing color and miraculous anti-inflammatory properties.
Paprika spikes dishes with antioxidants and color. Try it on homemade mac-n-cheese to create a mysterious smokiness.

Pair Black Pepper with all the aforementioned spices. It dramatically increases the bio-availability and absorption of other nutrients and minerals like selenium, vitamin B, beta-carotene and curcumin and also amplifies serotonin and beta-endorphin production in the brain.

Don’t fucking tell me it doesn’t rain “that much” in Seattle all you darling Pacific Northwest lying-ass bitches. Seriously, it’s like living in a puddle. I’ll forgive the shitty constant drizzle only due to the excellent array of plant-based food options. What Seattle lacks in sunshine, it makes up for in an abundance of vegetarian friendly dining establishments. I’m a homing pigeon for crunchy, granola, hippy, super specific vegetarian food, and this city provides more than a few dope places for an herbivore to land.
At Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe the lentil burger looked like a turd, but tasted delightful. Casual and unpretentious, come prepared to place an order at the counter and bus your own mess. Come equally prepared to chow down on filling fresh veggie goodness. A respectable B+.
Next up, the adorably odd Star Life on the Oasis Café, step into a cute little house, decorated with quirky found furniture, and manned by “Wings,” a super nice guy with killer knife skills. The beautifully fresh veggie sandwich filled my tummy full for the whole day, and the self-serve loose tea bar is a tea drinker’s dream. A-
We waffled on whether or not to hit up Araya’s Vegetarian Place, an all vegetarian Thai restaurant. I like my food to punish me and Araya’s served up the 4 star spicy all right. We were sweating balls after the delicious and impressively presented Tom Yum soup. My dinner companion over estimated his spice tolerance and struggled to finish his meal, but that was his own damn fault for writing a spicy check his non-Thai ass couldn’t cash. Amateur. Overall, a solid B.
