it’s gonna be a great weekend for vegans in los angeles and here is the stuff you shouldn’t be missing:

franken's on saturday!

first up on saturday, the frankenstand is taking over hollywood and western with its delicious plant-based sausages. if you haven’t tried this place yet, you GOTTA go. they are our #1 favorite food cart and their gourmet franks are beyond delicious. it’s also a special occasion because franken’s very rarely comes out in the daylight. seriously, GO. take my advice, and order the witch or the franken….you will not be sorry. follow @thefrankenstand on twitter for more info.

While watching an iPhone commercial online earlier today, I noticed that the Vicinity application from the App Store was being used to find M Café (sadly the Culver City location, which I have never been to). 

This commercial also airs on TV all over the country, so it’s a nice bit of (hopefully free) publicity for one of my favorite LA take-out places, with predominantly vegan options. Rock on M café – either you paid Steve Jobs to feature your restaurant, or you lucked out randomly.

I’m going to pay the Culver City location a visit sometime soon — it looks easier to get a table in, and less full of pretentious assholes than the Melrose outlet. Stay tuned!
