Since I went on carnivore overload the other day when eating Dad's famous barbecue ribs, I felt like eating vegan last night. Worked out perfectly too because I hung out with pal @halfacat who's vegan.
We went to Gordon Biersch because I really wanted a beer after spending the day doing oodles of paperwork moving into my new place in Scottsdale. A Marzen just sounded like it would hit the spot perfectly.
Beer is vegan you know *yay!*
Here's what we ate along with a couple frothy brewskies.
Garlic Fries: This food is a must when going to Gordon Biersch because it goes perfectly with beer. The garlic fries are also my favorite indulgence. I felt like celebrating moving into my new life.
Tapas: Which is flatbread with hummus, roasted garlic, olive tempanade, and bruschetta. I was all over the garlic and tomatoes.
Cheese-less veggie pizza: We ordered from the happy hour menu so the pizza we got was about 6" in diameter which is nice because you get a small portion of pizza. Not much of a carb overload. The pizza had roasted tomato, mushrooms, and spinach. I put some of the roasted garlic from the Tapas dish on top of my pizza for an added umph. Twas yumalicious!
The meal was indeed on the starchy and carby side, but like I mentioned, it was happy hour portions, and was split between two people. Today, I did an endorphin pumping 4-mile run so we're good :)
All the pictures were taken on my iPhone 3GS. The more I use this thing, the more I'm impressed with what I can shoot.
