My New Favorite Restaurant

Last Friday was my birthday and my sweet sister took me out to dinner after work. I work for a bank that is open an hour later than normal on Fridays, so of all the nights of the week Friday is the day I’m least likely to want to cook. Bless her! And where did we go? Whole Foods. Yup. Whole Foods is now my favorite restaurant.

They have a great spread out all day every day. They have pizza and sandwiches, gelato and coffee, and amazing hot and cold bars. I had a hard time choosing especially in a place that is so vegetarian friendly. In the end I decided on sezchwan green beans, roasted vegetables, brown rice, and chicken fried tofu. Yes you read that correctly, and oh . . . my . . . It was amazingly yummy. Seriously, that was the best tofu I’ve ever eaten and nothing like, “This is fine, but it sure isn’t chicken” crossed my mind once. Tofu is now on my shopping list so I can attempt it at home. They even had vegan chocolate mousse. I didn’t try it though because I was saving room for the pastry case in the bakery, but I might have to go back and sample it another time, along with the fresh-baked vegan almond cookies.

My sister and I enjoyed it so much we went back the next night after a long day as extras on the set of Unusual Films’ new movie Milltown Pride. Hmmmm. I am going back for another shoot this Saturday, perhaps I’ll have to give that mousse a try.
