Gluten Gone Goodies specializes in gluten-free treats with vegan options, including cinnamon rolls, donut holes and more. I tried two of the vegan favorites to see if gluten-free really could taste this good.

Cast Iron’s exclusive family-style dinner experience, Vegan Roast. Reservations were required, as this was a unique 6-course seasonal menu and truly farm-to-table.

“After 70 years, it’s still good to be Fat,” and at Fatburger you can be fat and vegan!

In 1952, Fatburger became a woman-owned business after founder Lovie Yancey split with her partner and removed “Mr.” from the restaurant’s name. The burger joint became an LA icon and claims to be “The Last Great Hamburger Stand.” Now owned by FAT Brands, the restaurant has franchises across the US and Canada.

I was invited to dinner at Thaiburi this week. While Thaiburi is not a vegan restaurant, they have menu items that are vegan as-is or can be made vegan with modifications. Their menu professes, “We started Thaiburi to be more than just a restaurant. It’s our way of inviting you into our hometown. Every dish tells a story and we’re proud to share the taste of where we come from with every bite.” We ordered a few things to share, and as always, the appetizers were my favorite part.

Whether you call it “Fairy Floss” or “Cotton Candy,” it’s been a nostalgic favorite since its debut in 1904. The first commercial cotton candy traces back to 1904 at the first ever World’s Fair, where a confectioner and Dentist teamed up to bring the treat to the masses. In 2025, Bless from Sweet-Remix is bringing the 209 its first woman-owned, organic, kosher, vegan, and artificial-free cotton candy!
