A schizophrenic foodie.
I go from eating pork belly one day to vegan lavender-chocolate chip scones the next.
Get in mah belly!
Cream who?
Does anyone else do this craziness?
I can’t help my schizophrenia. I love, love, love good, gourmet food. That 7-course tasting menu at Woodfire Grill was a whole new level of fantastic.
Kevin Gillespie, I don’t care if some people say it’s just Top Chef hype. You can cook a damn good meal.
By the same token, I fully appreciate a creative, vegan baked good. And I shamelessly pre-gamed lunch with that scone. They were still making the walnut pesto for my sandwich… and I was STARVING after a long-ish run.

Dulce Vegan (1994 Hosea L. Williams Dr. NE Atlanta, GA 30317) opened in the Kirkwood neighborhood 2 weeks ago. It is a vegan bakery that also serves a daily sandwich – on vegan bread, of course.
I got to speak to one of the owners (and maker of the scone deliciousness) while I waited. Don’t you love when people are so clearly excited about what they do?
From the traffic during my 45 min visit, it looks like people aren’t phased at all by the fact that the store is vegan.
A good cupcake is a good cupcake, right?!
Vegan, gluten-free, soy-free chocolate cupcakes
After my pre-lunch scone, I enjoyed my sandwich: fresh walnut-pesto, balsamic tofu, spinach, and tomato. And mayo. All vegan.
The bread was fantastic – I love the satisfying crunch to the crust. The firmly pressed tofu was also good – the balsamic went really well with the pesto.
My only complaint was the volume of the condiments. The pesto – while good – was very flavorful. The amount on the sandwich was a bit overwhelming. They could have left off the mayo altogether – it didn’t add anything.
Don’t skip the scone. Nom nom. Nom. And I officially have a crush on said scone-baker.
Topping off such a day is hard… but I managed to put a koozie to good use. With a kombucha on my building’s roof. *big dork*

I’m usually eat a vegetarian diet… but I do love the occasional meat-filled indulgence at restaurants. I’m a scared-of-commitment veg.
Are you schizo with your eating or do you follow a strict vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian/other diet?
I like that… schizo food eater. I am far from it. I guess I would be the OCD eater. I eat the same things every day. Every day. Well for breakfast and lunch anyway. Sometimes I think that is really bad.. but I still like eating it..so whatevs!
OCD eater – I LOVE it. Your eats always look tasty though. 🙂
I’m a pretty strict pescatarian which can also be defined as a lazy vegetarian, I guess!
Lazy vegetarian is a great one. I love how you guys even named your diets!!
hahaha that’s totally me too! I eat everything in moderation and enjoy some occasional meat as much as a good vegan/vegetarian dish. As long as it’s wholesome and delicious, I’m in! 🙂
I eat veggie burgers and really burgers. LOL. Beef is better FYI 😉
NEVER will I eat vegan cheese.
