Nepalese Food, Cobbler & Bagels!

Global Café, an international food hall in Crosstown Concourse (the building where I work), hosts three chefs from different countries, and one of those chefs — Chef Indra of Nepal — just moved to a new state with her family. There's a new chef now (Chef Pancho of Venezuela), and I'll be checking out his vegan offerings later this week! But I had to get one last bite of Chef Indra's Nepalese specialties before she left!

I had her Vegetable Chow Mein the week before she left. It was my very favorite dish at Global Café, and I am so sad to see it go! These noodles were seasoned so well and topped with raw onion, fresh jalapeno, and lime.

We had our May Vegan Drinks meet-up there as well, and I got Indra's Mo Mo Dumplings (that red sauce is super garlicky and amazing) and her Vegetable Samosas (the best I've ever had).

I'll check in with another post about Chef Pancho soon! He has lots of vegan options! Other Global Café chefs are from Syria and Sudan, and they have vegan offerings too.

My family and I celebrated Father's Day a weekend early since I was at Bonnaroo on actual Father's Day. Daddy LOVES Genghis Grill (which he calls Chaka Kann — inside joke!), so they drove to Memphis to eat there. I got my usual build-your-own Tofu Stir-fry Bowl with Brown Rice. 

On that trip, my mom brought me a portion of her Strawberry Cobbler, which she made with some frozen strawberries that she found in my granny's deep freezer. This was so amazing, especially topped with Reddi Whip almond topping.

Here's a random bowl of Savory Oats with cooked zucchini, spinach, nooch, toasted walnuts, and pepita salsa.

And here's a Dave's Everything Bagel from Otherlands. When I have freelance writing work to do, I like to take my computer up to this coffee shop and enjoy a bagel with vegan cream cheese and an almond milk latte. Gets the creative juices flowing!
