Supperclub in SF is having an all vegan week!
So this is kinda last minute but everyone’s favorite bizarre cheesy restaurant where you eat on beds and the waiters dress like Burning Man refugees* and do crazy ass trapeze acts between courses is having an ALL VEGAN WEEK! It goes from yesterday to Sunday, March 1st and it’s a 3-and 4-courses prix fixe menu with only one seating nightly at 7 pm. You have to call to make a...

Humphry Slocombe!
Yes. This is the place with foie gras ice cream on the menu. And that is super duper fucking disgusting. I mean, it’s the grossest. So far as I can tell, it’s only on the online menu and not being sold in the store but still, the grossest. Everyone should write Humphry Slocombe and ask nicely for it to be taken off the menu because again, THE GROSSEST.
HOWEVER. I will say that dairy...

On Eating Rabbits
Could you kill this bunny?
Would you eat him?
Mission Street Food would! And if you would like to eat some rabbit, MSF will cook you up some “rabbit rillette,” which means the dead rabbit is slow-cooked until its flesh is soft, which is then shredded, mixed with other ingredients, and made into a sort of pâté. The collaborating chef is really into eating like Native Americans did,...

Joe's Taco Lounge & Salsa!
If you are stuck in Mill Valley, you are pretty much fucked for food. You’re either eating what the people who live here are eating (read: nothing because shit is expen$$$ive and it’s richie rich “happy” meat town) or you eat what people who work here are eating (read: nothing because shit is Jack ’n the Crack. Blarg.) There just isn’t much for us middle of the road...

Medicine Eatstation closes! →
Once upon a time, Medicine Eatstation was vegan, though even then it was terrible and overpriced. Then it closed for a while, and reopened with a new menu full of dead fish dishes. Dilemma: patronize a restaurant because it (still) caters to vegans, and you want to encourage that kind of behavior? Or never patronize it again because it started serving meat?
Answer: duh, never go again. It’s...

St. Francis Fountain!
I pity the toe-fool who doesn’t enjoy the delicious tofu scrambles at St. Francis Fountain! I don’t know. But I really like this place. They have an entire section of the menu dedicated to “veg-heads” that includes tofu scrambles, a toasted vegan sandwich (roasted veggies and some sort of a delicious sauce that’s put in some sort of a marvelous panini machine) and...

Product review: Zapp's Spicy Cajun Crawtator...
Zapp’s potato chips are from Louisiana. They are quite possibly the best thing that has ever come out of that state. And that’s saying A LOT because they’ve also brought us jazz, alligators, french people and the entire Spears’ clan. Seriously, someone give this state a prize.
The Spicy Cajun Crawtator flavor is the most amazing flavor that Zapp’s makes....

Vegan Tomato Meat Sauce
This recipe will seem very obvious to a lot of you; for the rest of us who would live in a hotel and order room service every day if we could, this will be a revelation. I hate most commercial tomato sauces because they are too watery and sweet. This recipe is a ragu and is based on a recipe from Jamie Oliver’s Cook With Jamie (for fellow cook-o-phobes, I highly recommend Jamie’s...
WatchHere’s a little video for your Friday morning enjoyment!
One of the Real Housewives of Orange County, Jeana and her daughter Kara Keough have lunch at Cafe Gratitude in Berkeley. Kara wonders what vegan people look like naked. Would anyone care to clue her in? I’m sure you can find her on Facebook.

The Plant Cafe!
I bet if you look at how many places Vegansaurus reviews in the Mission vs. Vegansaurus reviews in the Marina, it would be equivalent to a see-saw with an extra fat manatee on one side and a Mycoplasma genitalium on the other. But let me explain:
1) All four of us call the Mission home. All four of us call the Marina TERRIFYING. 2) The Mission is filled with mostly amazing weirdos. The Marina is...

Product Review: Peanut Butter Newman-O's
Some of us at Vegansaurus have been all woo! no-underpants sexy-times woo!!! lately, but guess what, people: It can’t be sexy times all the times. Sometimes even carefree vegans, with our lustrous hair and glowing skin and brilliant smiles, are not having sexy times all the times. Sometimes, we are having significantly unsexy times indeed.
When you’re feeling super-unsexy, I find that...

Product Review: So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice...
Let’s keep this short and sweet, like these sandwiches. The geniuses at Turtle Mountain came up with yet another product to make me very happy and that product is the Coconut Milk Ice Cream Sandwich. They are like Tofutti Cuties but with more coconut creamy delicious and with no hydrogenated fat badness. They are 100 calories each and currently come in plain coconut and banana split (!!!)...

Product Review: VeganYumYum iPhone Application!
This is post is only for those of us who are smart enough to have an iPhone. If you don’t have one, kill yourself. I can’t imagine life is worth living without waking up next to this sweet, sweet piece of technology ass. I want to take the iPhone to Paris and kiss it under the Eiffel Tower. I want to take it on a magic carpet ride and make love to it under the stars. I want to show it...

Foods Co
So it’s come to this: I’m tired, friends; tired of fighting the good fight against NIMBYs and ninnies; tired of feeling like it’s become Valencia Street vs. The Rest of the Mission; tired of having to defend a misogynist and Starbucks because my neighbors are insane. Is it class warfare? Not in this economy, I would think. What does this have to do with vegan living? Oh ho! Let...

Millennium!
I have a rule for Millennium. You take me here, I will put out. Whether you like it or not. I’ve made a not-interested-in-ladies-in-that-way friend very uncomfortable after he so politely paid the tab. Basically, you pull out your charge card and I’m knocking shit down, crawling across the table and COMIN’ TO GETCHA! Hot, I know.
Speaking of hot, let’s talk...

A little Vegansaurus post-Prop. 2 activism! ow!
Hello awesome Vegansaurus readers! Here is a chance to do some great animal activism from the comfort of your own couch. Or if you’re like us, bed. We are total lazy-asses.
In the wake of Prop 2, which outlawed the confinement of hens in battery cages, several California businesses have been moving away from using eggs from caged hens. However, Double Rainbow Ice Cream is still using eggs...

Store review: Layonna Vegetarian Health Food...
Shit! I can’t believe I haven’t written a review of g-d Layonna! What is wrong with me?! Don’t answer that! Layonna’s fake meat is known by veggies and vegans the world over. Seriously. If you tell a vegan in motherfucking Kathmandu that you are from the San Francisco Bay Area they will be like, “OH MY GOD! YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO LIVE SO CLOSE TO LAYONNA!!!” This...
