[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been trying to go more plant based -I already don't eat red meat, pork, poultry. I eat eggs/dairy but try to make good choices as to the source.

I also recently watched "You are what you eat" and it was honestly fascinating. A lot about the meat sourcing, I already know. And it did not focus on animal welfare, which is a big thing for me. But the effect of plant based eating, over a short study, was interesting.

One of the things that holds me back is finding good subs for things that I like. I admit that. Food is an experience not just fuel. And vegan food often suffers from a lack of taste or originality (IMO). When I eat out I don't always want a portobello mushrooms or for someone to stick squash/zucchini/eggplant in something and call it vegan. Anyway, I came across some restaurants and options on this show that are not available here (unfortunately). But some that are (Miyoko's "cheese", for example) and are REALLY good.

Looking for good vegan restaurants, shops, food stuffs. Do we even have that good of a vegan scene here? (There was this deli-type shop in NYC that is vegan and it looked amazing.) Bonus points if in NoVa as I no longer work in DC.

THX! 
PS-not interested in if you "can't give up meat" or are not interested in this way of eating. That's fine for you. Please scroll on by to a thread more relevant to you.[/quote]

I have never been a fan of vegan options available outside. I cook my own stuff watching videos and recipes. After switching to plant based life, I have also started enjoying cooking. It is cheaper, fun and I can add garnishes the way I like! :)

As for the stores, Wholefoods is good. They have vegan cream cheese (Oatley), vegan sour cream, vegan yogurt etc. I love to go shop there. They also have vegan cupcakes (chocolate, vanilla always available).

Same PP here. 
Restaurants - Mazadar in Fairfax for Mediterranean, Saravana Palace in Fairfax for Indian, Mama Tigre in Fairfax for Mexican, RASA in Dunn Loring for fast food Chipotle kind of bowls (but they are yummy)[/quote]
