Plum Burgers: Mediterranean 8 Oz Burger

Something about the dreary winter weather had me craving a burger and fries lately. At the same time, my eating habits haven’t been too healthy as of late so I felt conflicted about the idea of contributing any further toward a late-20s heart-attack. Here’s the solution I came up with: “How about something vegan?” (Note: I’m not naive enough to think that every vegan meal is inherently healthy, but I choose to forego that knowledge when it happens to suit my present desires).

Some of the best vegan food in town is coming out of Plum Bistro on Capitol Hill, but that’s much further than I cared to drive. Luckily for me, Plum Bistro has a food truck that happened to be right outside my neighborhood on said night. Plum Burgers is Seattle’s first vegan food truck, and a mobile extension of Plum Bistro’s commitment to 100% vegan and organic food.

This week marks the start of a new path in my culinary exploration of Seattle. My dear friend Nix, who is severely gluten intolerant, wants to break out of her usual routine and has decided to embark on her own food journey—to discover more of the gluten-free restaurants that Seattle has on offer.  Being the world’s greatest friend and adventurous spirit that I am, I will be joining her on her adventures.   With the extremely gluten-free/vegetarian/vegan-friendly city that I live in, it’s probably high time I opened my mind to that portion of Seattle’s dining scene.
