Good morning!
I wanted to take a quick moment and share an experience at a new restaurant the Mister and I visited this weekend. We worked up quite an appetite at the Yankee Peddler Festival, and while apple dumplings and pumpkin rolls sure sounded amazing, I wanted something ‘healthy’ after my decadent breakfast!
VegiTerranean, owned and founded by Chrissie Hynde of The Prentenders is quickly becoming a hot spot in Akron. Its trendy decor and location attract many foodies to the all-organic, vegan menu. The Mister and I have been wanting to try it out for quite some time, but the hour drive was keeping us away. Since the Yankee Peddler Festival was in the area, we figured it’d be a great opportunity to finally taste some of the goodness we’d hear people raving about.
VegiTerranean is located on the first floor of a swanky condo unit – can you imagine living there? I’d want to eat out every night!

I loved the interior of the restaurant. The modern lines and ‘bright white’ worked well with the space and showcased the large windows, which added color from the landscape. The Mister and I sat by the window which overlooked the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.

We both wanted burgers. I asked the waiter which one he recommended (I do this often – I mean they would know best, right?!) and he told me I’d be a fool not to go with the portobello burger. You guys know I love my shrooms, so I was happy to comply!

How amazing does that look?
Don’t worry, it was! I cleaned my plate on this one. Well, actually that is a lie. I did not clean my plate. I am not a fan of coleslaw so I had a few bites (have to give it a fair shot!) and left the rest. But I did finish every last morsel of that burger! So juicy and delish! I could really taste the seasonings and the bread was soft, doughy and did a great job of sopping up all the goodness.
Let’s just say it’s probably a good thing that VegiTerranean is so far away because otherwise I would be spending my entire paycheck there! The Mister and I definitely want to head back for dinner, though – there was so much good stuff to choose from!
