Vegan junk food in Leeds

by

It has been quite a while since I visited Mog’s in Leeds, so I thought it would be the right time to remind everyone about this 100% vegan junk food joint.

Mog’s started life as a vegetarian and vegan eatery a few years back. In 2018 it became a fully vegan restaurant and then got itself some new management in 2019.

What can you expect to eat at Mog’s in 2020?

The menu is packed solid with comfort food such as burgers, chickn dinners, coleslaw, gravy, wraps, and fries.

Check out some of these images.

Reviews online show people raving about Mog’s, so I think that means you should get there as soon as possible.

You can see the exact location of Mog’s online thanks to Google Maps.

Say hello to the BagNut

by

It came to me in a dream.

There haven’t been many times in my life when I’ve watched a dream come true before my very eyes. Actually, this might be the first legitimate dream of mine that has been turned into reality.

It all started when I had a dream about a bagel filled with vegan bacon and cheese that had been battered and deep fried. It was such a vivid dream that I was instantly obsessed with the idea.

Fast forward to a few days ago and I was talking to my mate Dave of superstar vegan eatery Make No Bones in Sheffield about the BagNut (yes, bagel + donut = BagNut) and he agreed to make it for me.

I was floored!

My dream originally featured the bagel being held together with string before being battered and fried, but Dave knows what he is doing and used wooden skewers to hold it all together.

So what you can see below is the world’s first ever BagNut. A lightly toasted bagel filled with seitan bacon, cheese sauce, and pickles before being battered and deep fried.

To make this situation even better, Dave and Make No Bones have agreed to add the BagNut to their menu sometime in the coming days.

If you are ever in Sheffield, you need to make time to grab a BagNut. It is a taste sensation. If you live in Sheffield, I pray you have willpower or else this might become tea a few times a week.

Make No Bones is now located in new mega vegan venue Church: Temple of Fun which is also an amazing vegan bar and Drop Dead clothing boutique. I’ve also seen a new vegan tattoo studio being built inside the venue this week.

You can see the exact location of Make No Bones/Church online thanks to Google Maps.

Extra news: Make No Bones and Church are hosting the official Sheffield Vegan Beer Fest after party on Saturday August 18, 2018 from 8pm. If you show your beer fest wrist band at the bar you get 10% off food orders and 10% off the official after party cocktail, the Slow Burner.

Legendary vegan burger trader opens store

by

If you know anything about the London vegan street food scene, you will be aware of Big V London.

Big V is a superstar vegan burger business with multiple locations scattered around markets, including a weekly spot at Hackney Downs Vegan Market. Their burgers are the stuff of legend, lighting up social media every time they make an appearance.

Not satisfied with multiple street market locations each week, Big V owner Jill has taken the leap into the world of running a permanent burger bar every night on site at Exmouth Coffee Roasters in Whitechapel.

Open 7 nights a week from 6pm until 10pm, they have started with their full burger menu with fries and a mayo dipping menu. The business will slowly add more items over the coming weeks.

In addition to the incredible Big V burger menu, they are serving the wonderful Hell.Yum! ice cream (another Hackney Downs Vegan Market regular), FIX8 kombucha on tap, and sodas by Dalston.

You can see the exact location of the new, evenings-only Big V burger bar thanks to Google Maps. They are just a few steps from Aldgate East Underground station.

ANOTHER vegan food joint in Camden

by

If I hadn’t seen the photos with my own eyes, I would have thought this story was made up.

You see, it’s getting tough to imagine how many more vegan eateries can be squeezed into Camden.

Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner is a recent addition to London and is located in The Stables section of Camden Market. You can get along every single day between 11am and 7pm.

The menu line up looks like a junk food vegan’s dreams come to life and I am especially drooling over those seitan buffalo wings wrapped around lemongrass sticks. I love it!

Check out the photos below and be sure to follow Rudy’s on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Vegan comfort food for Manchester

by

I wrote about the vegan food options at Manchester’s The Deaf Institute a while ago, but only just got around to trying some of it for myself last night.

The Deaf Institute is a bar, kitchen and live music venue just off Oxford Road. The kitchen is open every single day from 4pm until late and is packed solid with vegan comfort food.

Confusingly, the menu does make claims about a full vegan kitchen but during my visit their were a few non-vegan items listed on that very same menu such as meat and cheese. I’m not really sure what this means.

Anyway, the vegan food is plentiful and really quite good.

You can follow The Deaf Institute on Instagram and keep scrolling down to see everything Josh and I devoured last night.

Extra note: I wasn’t keen on the wall of animal skulls and horns as decorations, either.

Extra extra note: The Deaf Institute might very well be a great hangover spot for you and your friends the day after Manchester Vegan Beer Fest, taking place in three weeks! Book a ticket.

Amazing vegan food in Amsterdam

by

Post by:

Amsterdam really has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. While not so long ago vegan visitors had to seek out the few decent places, today that same visitor is spoilt for choice.

One recently-opened example is the Vegan Junk Food Bar, which doesn’t really need a description as it’s all in the title.

And it’s as tasty as it looks! Pictured below is a “golden crunchy seaweed sandwich” (a burger really, but filled with these crispy nuggetty bits of deliciousness) and “Loaded VJFB” fries, which came topped with all sorts of crazy goodness.

Prices are as expected for Amsterdam, and it’s proven so popular that they frequently sell out before closing time, so if you’re going (and if you’re in Amsterdam, you must) don’t get there too late.

London comfort food spot closes

by

I have been out of the UK for six months and during that time many new vegan opportunities have arisen. I have a list of things I need to try that opened while I was in Mexico.

Near the top of that list was Top Dog, the US-style hot dog diner in Soho with an amazing separate vegan menu.

Josh first wrote about it here.

So, I rocked up today only to find the fast food joint closed! Peering through the windows, it looks as though it was shut down in a hurry as there were still boxes of food and kitchen equipment inside.

Josh reached out to the company today and got the following response:


Sad times. I didn’t get to try it!

Did you make it to Top Dog during its short lifetime? What did you think?
