The Veggie Grill - Irvine, CA : Thai Chickin' Salad & Chipotle BBQ & Sweetheart Fries

This place is vegan...I think (or is it vegetarian?). I'm not sure but either way I can eat at this place all the time.  It's kind of like Native Foods....just different flavors. Both places are very healthy and have very fresh ingredients. These are my top two vegetarian places to eat at.

Thai Chickin' Salad
The Thai Chikin' Salad includes their "Chillin' Chickin'", romaine, red & green cabbage, roasted corn salsa, green onion, mandarin oranges, toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and wontons. It usually comes with spicy Thai dressing, but I switched it out with their ginger papaya vinaigrette (cuz you know...me no likie spicy). All their salads also have quinoa in it. And for those of you who don't know (cuz I didn't for the longest time)....it's pronounced "keen-wa". The salad was really good!

Chipotle BBQ Wrap-style with Sweetheart Fries
The Chipotle BBQ is normally a burger on a wheat bun but you can make it wrap-style or kale-style (on a bed of kale). It was The Meat-eater's choice to make his meal wrap-style and to substitute the cabbage slaw or chili side with Sweetheart Fries.

The Chipotle BBQ includes BBQ sauce marinated shredded veggie-steak, chipotle ranch, caramelized onion, lettuce, and tomato.

Sweetheart Fries
Sweet potato fries are my favorite. I like them better than French fries. I like French fries too though cuz all fried foods seem to taste pretty darn good...but I've really cut down on my fried foods and only eat it once in a while. All that grease doesn't seem to sit too well in my tummy and if I eat too many I will feel sick. But I did have a few of these yummy Sweetheart fries. So I highly recommend this place. Incredibly (or not) The Meat-eater liked his meal too! So veggie eaters and meat eaters can come try this out. The flavors are good!
