What does a vegan eat at the Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House?
The Luv Burger.
It’s the only vegan entree on the menu. I think it’s excellent. (You can also order the fried chickpeas for a vegan appetizer: delicious!) The Luv Burger is a somewhat spicy black bean burger…Mmm. You can have it with regular fries, sweet potato fries or salad (vegan salad dressing is available).
Luv Burger (black bean burger) means cows luv it.

The seasonal beer that I like right now is Chasin’ Freshies. I like the snow scene on the bottle, but it would be way cooler if that snowboard was replaced with some telemark skis! I’m getting excited for the snow to fall. 🙂

Last thing:
The menu at the brewery has a “V” icon for “Vegetarian” items. Too bad that most of those items are not vegan. (Also, take note that the vegan sounding soup of the day– white bean minestrone– contained a broth of boiled down chickens. I’m glad I asked the waitress.)
WTF??…How can duck fat be considered vegetarian?? (Yes, I filled out a comment card!)
Duck fat is NOT vegetarian!

The Shire Cafe in Arlington, WA
Yes…there IS a vegetarian restaurant in Arlington, WA. Who knew? (Me!)
I actually found out about The Shire Cafe when I started volunteering at New Moon Farm Goat Rescue and Sanctuary four years ago (which is also located in Arlington).
On Fridays, I scoop the poop at the farm, and then I eat lunch at The Shire Cafe– with the owner of the goat rescue (my friend 🙂 ). On weekends, after mountain biking, Eric and I like to drop in for a cold Mirror Pond and some dinner.
Located in the same building (the Mirkwood), is Mordor Tattoo. Savannah did my “vegan” wrist tattoo.

The Mirkwood has an ongoing live music schedule. (Past our bedtimes!)

Back to the food!!
Just about everything on the menu can be made vegan. There’s always a homemade vegan soup of the day. Most entrees come with salad, soup or fries. I highly recommend the soup, no matter what flavor is featured. Here are some pictures to make your mouth water 🙂 …

Are you hungry for some vegan food yet?
*April 2018 update: this is no longer a vegetarian restaurant. Vegan options are plentiful, but they do serve animal products.
