Small Batch

A question I receive frequently is "What do vegans even eat?". For some reason people think I'm at home chewing carrots and salad all day like a rabbit. Ha! I wish everyone knew just how good vegan food is- and that there are vegan versions of seriously, like, everything. Pizza, cheese, meats, desserts. Anyway, I want to share vegan food with you guys as I go along. My husband and I went to eat at a place called Small Batch here in St. Louis with some of our married friends who just went vegan, and it was amazing. I've been quite a few times but they always amaze me with just how good their food is. Small Batch advertises as a "Whiskey Lounge". My husband says they certainly don't disappoint on that front. I'm not really a whiskey girl (where the Malibu at?!), but they have a ton of really good drinks. And, their food menu is completely vegetarian/vegan. Can you say jackpot? Nate ended up getting the special, which was a linguini dish with vegan pepperoni and cheese, and a bunch of veggies and beans. I got a vegan alfredo dish, with sundried tomatoes and broccoli. Both of our dishes were amazing! Nate loved how smokey his was and I was impressed by how creamy my alfredo sauce was.

And don't even get me started on the desserts- I got their S'more dish, which was a brownie with toasted marshmallow and sprinkled granola on top. Nate opted for the Affogato, which was vegan coconut ice cream with espresso and brownie. I don't like coffee, at all, but both dishes were to die for! My sweet tooth is unreal, so it really hit the spot. I mean look at how GOOD these dishes look! You can see why I just roll my eyes when people say vegans are "missing out" ;) I can't wait to review more vegan restaurants for you guys so that you can see just how good vegan food can be!
