V-Eats Modern at Trinity Groves has a new menu: Chef Troy Gardner is shaking things up at his vegan restaurant. New items include the High Steaks Bowler: a quinoa and lentil salad with roasted cauliflower, fresh spinach, and a mushroom medley. There’s also an Impossible burger and Lone Star Chili Cheese Mac with Impossible crumble.
“2018 has been a great year for V-Eats,” says Gardner. “We are excited to launch into 2019 with a new, healthier menu. While we all love the comfort foods, we’ve also heard from customers they want lighter choices that don’t sacrifice flavor. People perceive a typical vegan meal as being just vegetables and tofu, but I love showing people it’s so much more than that. We’re excited to continue on our journey to elevate vegan cuisine and show people easy ways to incorporate plant-based food into their diet in 2019.”
It’s mudbug season at Shell Shack: There are so many crawfish at Shell Shack right now. And you should go eat them.

That’s that.
