This Saturday, August 1st, was 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. The produce used for our Vegan Roast was picked just days before, from a small, local, regenerative farm called “Honest Acre”.

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.

Bauhaus is a ‘Tapas Bar’ in Modesto. Tapas means “small plates”. Wednesday through Saturday, you will find tapas, and on Sunday, it’s brunch. However, at Bauhaus, there are always vegan options, even at pop-ups!
