The idea of a renown chef making meals that are not only…read moreappetizing & delicious but also health conscious is amazing. I've personally enjoyed a couple of these meal preps myself and have not been disappointed about anyone of them. Not only do they fit my lifestyle needs but they also within my dietary needs. I never feel bloated or feel like the meal is too heavy for me. The right portions and the right sense of fullness of a meal. Plenty of greens, plenty of protein, extra on the deliciousness.

I ordered the Grass fed NY steak and it was absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly. The…read moreinstructions were to microwave the meal for one minute and that's what I did. The steak was tender and juice and the sweet potatoes were roasted very nicely. The green beans were delicious too. They had the perfect snap to them. I meant to take a photo but I was so hungry! You can taste the quality in the food also. I'll definitely be ordering again!

I honestly dont know why anyone would want to drink a matcha and shop at the same time, but this…read moreplace is really great for the coffee shake I'm addicted to. It's called Canyon Coffee, but the menu has a rotating selection of espressos, so I'm assuming. The cashier ladies are nice, a bit slow, but there's a seating area so you're not in a long line while a bunch of people wait next to you. They always close the hot foods early so if you need to customize any drinks or order a matcha first, be sure to go to the espresso station and then the cashier station, before purchasing groceries. Better than Lazy Acres/Bristol Farms. L.A. G&C blends in beautifully with the community the market with space set up for craft collabs and the holiday fair, and integrates nuances as distinguishable as Erewhon's, but defines its offering apart from other markets. The only thing is, they dont have many outlets which is strange because the seating area houses so many people theoretically speaking.

A bunch of places have tried to follow the Erewhon archetype recently with LAGC being 1 of those…read more Haven't had the chance to make it in yet but have used them as a healthy delivery option for a while now. The breakfast burritos are top notch n the "El Machete" tortillas really make them go. All the side dishes I've had have been fresh n tasty. The Korean potato salad absolutely slaps. They offer raw milk as a smoothie base which I appreciate. Keep it comin!

Vegan pop-up restaurant!…read more I love me some crepes. And why not try La Crepe Du Jardin at the vegan event that I attended? I went with a plain crepe, on the more basic side. It had some butter and sugar. I didn't really want any fruit or toppings. It tasted good. The crepe had a nice consistency. It was sprinkled with sugar. Service was good. He made it quick. It was nice and warm! Ambiance, it was a pop-up so grab and take it with you.

Picked up two tuna sandwiches which were well seasoned just how we like it on a soft fresh roll. We were getting these sandwiches to go and if we had had time, would have ordered some soft serve ice cream, too. Thank you Besties for a delicious lunch! And for the forever welcoming ambiance. Parking can be a bit tricky so have patience, it's worth the wait!

Great concept! The store has a nice variety to choose from and the staff is super friendly…read more However, if you order food it takes forever! I've been here multiple times, different days of the week at different times of the day and it's consistently slow AF. The other day I waited 25 minutes for one sandwich, one sandwich. I beg this place to hire someone who knows how to make more than one order at a time. Go for the grocery but beware if you order food you will be spending at least 30 minutes waiting, minimum.

If you're vegan you owe it to yourself to visit one of Mort and Betty's Pop-Ups (@mortandbettys)…read more This Vegan Jewish Deli, named after the founder's grandparents, serves bagels, traditional Jewish dishes, pastries, and more. Everything is made from scratch with organic ingredients sourced from local Farmer's Markets. Chef Megan Tucker is a genius - she can turn mushrooms into pastrami. Her dream is to open an Animal Farm Sanctuary, so 5% of her profits are set aside for that. I discovered Mort & Bettys when visiting a local Vegan shop in my hood - Macel's. I saw one of their lemon bars and decided to try it. This little treat was also gluten free. The texture was firm & gelatinous. I'm used to a softer consistency but it was tasty. The base was like graham cracker crust with a nutty flavor. I'm intrigued enough to give their other products a try.

Glad to see them in Santa Monica at the Pico Market. I took home the garbanzo tuna, the corned…read morebeets and the mushroom pastrami. Basically I don't like beets, but need to eat them for their health benefits so I'm always looking for ways to make them more palatable. I have to say I found the corned beets delicious! I made an open faced sandwich when I got home and tasted the mushrooms. They were good, but not as outstanding as the beets. I'm looking forward to returning to the Pico Market get more corned beets and try their other menu items!

Honestly, this place is such a lifesaver. Sometimes I don't feel like cooking and dirty dishes but…read moreI also don't wanna have an extravagant ridiculous takeout order. Enter BFF! It's just the right amount of veggies, protein, and carbs that will have you feeling better after eating it and not worse like some food. They are priced absolutely ridiculously/extremely well and is absolutely the right choice for anyone. My refrigerator is actually currently broken at the moment so this is honestly a blessing !! The simple, no-frills packaging, matches the simple no-frills food. I will say that the chicken and pork are the best options. I did try the steak. I found it tough without reheating and frankly not worth the additional charge.

We had them cater an event and the food is excellent…read more I highly recommend the pan fried trout (pictured) Which comes with six vegan vegetables over a bed of Njera. My friends got the lamb and beef dishes and shared them both. I also was surprised that they used vegan butter in their baklava which was flaky and excellent as well. The owner serves you himself, and he's very friendly. Be aware it is not fast food that somebody's cooked to order and it can take a while for it to come out.

Shame on me for ignoring The Ridiculous Baking Company for as long as I did. My first experience…read morewith RBC left me unimpressed at the 2015 Vegan Oktoberfest. I got a Berliner Jelly Donut. I had high expectations because I love the vegan jelly donuts at The Donuttery. RBC's donut was pretty meh for me. To be fair, I didn't eat it until the next day and everyone knows that next day donuts are just not as good. So even though I gave RBC the benefit of the doubt, it took me two more years to finally hit them up again. They caught my attention at the Mar Vista Farmer's Market with their Vegan Cronuts. That's what I said: Vegan Cronut!!! I got the Cinnamon Cronut. Not only is it the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, it was also everything I dreamt it to be :) http://bit.ly/2xoU8cD No question, I hit up RBC at last weekend's Vegan Street Fair Nights. We ordered a Reuben Croissant. Did someone just say vegan croissant? Um, yeah. It's ridiculous! Not only is it filled with magic, it's has cheese and Herbivorous Butcher seitan. As soon as the Meateater BF took a bite, he said "We're buying another one of these!" Side note: The Meateter BF took way too many bites of my vegan croissant than I was willing to share. But whatever! ;P http://bit.ly/2wR37mr Before leaving VSF Nights, I bought a Banh Mi Croissant to go and took a quick bite before packing it up. YUM! It has Herbivorous Butcher seitan, cucumber, daikon, and carrot. It was still amazing the next day for lunch! http://bit.ly/2wT2PsD I may need to stalk this vendor much better because they totally won me over!

Amazingly, even in 2018, Los Angeles does not have a go-to, all-purpose, respectable vegan bakery…read more Every other major US city has one, and Los Angeles has a dedicated vegan business for virtually every other type of food, but for bakeries all we got is Erin McKenna's or Rising Hearts (both of which are gluten-free and neither of which are particularly good). The Ridiculous Baking Company, which sets up at various farmers markets, could be the running to start a brick-and-mortar shop. It certainly has the range and variety of products. That said, it's also not that good. I've been coming to them off-and-on for years. Most recently I got the spinach-mushroom hotpocket ($7) and a tempeh bacon hotpocket ($7). The spinach one was merely okay (albeit bland) and the tempeh bacon one was both sour and bland. We threw this one out after a few unappealing bites. The breakfast sandwich ($6) suffers from mealy bread, dry sausage patty and all-around mediocrity. The sugar donut ($3) is basically just a croissant in the shape of a donut. This isn't a bad thing, but don't bite into it expecting a Dunkin' replica (if you want that, go to Donut Friend in Highland Park or California Donuts on Hollywood Blvd). The almond croissant ($4) was superb, though---it's flaky, rich and filled with a wonderful almond paste. All in all, The Ridiculous Baking Company has mediocre products at high prices.
