7) NATIVE FOODS CAFE
BY IVY GROB
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to travel to the nation’s capital,
and I dedicated the day to becoming a true tourist. When I stepped out of
the metro at the Smithsonian station, I knew I had the whole day ahead of
me to submerse myself in the history that is present in Washington DC. I headed
first in the direction of the Lincoln Memorial, stopping along the way to
see the Washington Monument and the World War II Memorial. After saying hi
to Honest Abe, I turned around and briefly stopped to see the White House,
then continued on the way to the Smithsonian museums. This alone took over
three hours and lots of walking (good thing I wore comfy shoes!). So I decided
to take a break and head over to Native Foods Café for lunch. I heard about
this all-vegan chain restaurant from VRG coordinator Debra Wasserman and I
knew I had to try it while I was in town. What’s even better than an all-vegan
restaurant? An all vegan restaurant that’s only a ten minute walk from the
Air and Space Museum!
When I arrived I was happy to see the colorful décor and was impressed that
the employee explained to me that the menu was 100% vegan (he actually said
no meat, fish, dairy or honey) when I told him this was my first time eating
there. I ordered the Chicken, Bacon and Avo Club with Seasoned Fries, a Watermelon
Fresca, and an Oatmeal Crème Pie. The food was served very fast and I immediately
dug in. The Chicken, Bacon and Avo Club was full of zesty flavor from the
chipotle sauce and the meat substitutes were hearty and crispy. This sandwich
paired with the Seasoned Fries quickly filled me up, and washing it down with
the Watermelon Fresca was a fresh and sweet accompaniment. I didn’t save
any room for dessert so I took my Oatmeal Crème Pie with me to go and ate
it later on after I returned home to Baltimore. This was the true cherry on
top for the whole meal. The cookie itself is huge, and reminiscent of the
ones I used to eat as a child. I ate the whole thing at once and didn’t
even find myself regretting it; it was that good.
If you ever find yourself being a tourist in DC, give Native Foods Café a
try. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or just looking for something new
to try, they are a fast and easy option conveniently located nearby to all
of the tourist destinations.

8) MY INTERNING EXPERIENCE AT VRG
BY NAVAAL MAHDI
Interning at The VRG has been one of the best life experiences I’ve had
thus far because I’ve been able to learn more about one of my passions.
Coming into this internship, I thought myself knowledgeable about vegetarianism
considering that I had spent countless hours researching about vegetarianism
before finally becoming vegan some months ago. However, I was pleasantly surprised
to find that there’s always been something new to learn in the VRG office.
As a writer, I can ask for nothing more than for someone to give me constructive
criticism about my pieces because I love submitting my best work. At The VRG,
I’ve been able to dabble in writing about a variety of topics, from creating
vegan recipes to reviewing vegan products, and I’ve even been able to give
some advice to teens along the way. What’s even better is that I’ve been
able to interact with non-vegetarians at outreach booths in a professional
environment, which means that I have been able to help people learn more about
the ethical and health reasons that explain why many vegetarians choose not
to eat meat and animal products. Together, both of these experiences have
made me more passionate about being vegan, and after working with an organization
that helps to spread awareness to so many people around the world about animal
cruelty as well as healthy eating, I know that I will always try to do the
same in my life.
I came into The VRG wanting to learn how to be firm in my beliefs regarding
veganism, and I’m leaving having gained that skill. When someone asks me
why I choose to be vegan, I now know how to confidently respond. What’s
even better is that though I’ve gained so much knowledge here, I know that
there’s still a lot out there that I need to learn. I can’t wait to continue
to learn about my passions because my work with The VRG has taught me that
if you keep exploring and advocating for what you love, you’ll finally find
out your calling. I want to make a positive change in the world, and I’m
so motivated to do that now.
Contact The Vegetarian Resource Group if you would like to intern in Baltimore
or long distance.

9) GLORY DOUGHNUTS
BY IVY GROB
Glory Doughnuts turns confection into an art. Located in downtown Frederick,
this little restaurant is big on presentation and taste. Everything on the
menu is 100% vegan and handcrafted in small batches. The doughnuts are truly
a sight to behold, and are almost too pretty to eat. But once you take that
first bite, it will be like eating a doughnut for the first time all over
again. Like eating a sugary cloud, these doughnuts are soft and fluffy with
icing that will have you seeing angels. A variety of decadent flavors are
available to choose from, and the selection changes daily. Examples include
Chai Tea, S’mores, Almond Joy, Maple Bourbon, and Blood Orange. For the
less adventurous there is also Traditional Chocolate, Vanilla Frosted, and
Powdered. The fun doesn’t stop there. Glory Doughnuts also offers a full
menu of other breakfast delicacies including PBR Belgian Waffles, Tofu Fried
Egg Sandwiches, and Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast. If you can pry yourself
out of bed on a Saturday or Sunday Morning, they offer an extended menu of
Chick-un and Waffles and a Grandma’s Coffee Cake. To wash it all down they
serve locally made and organic coffee, with a broad selection of vegan creamers,
and juices made of unlikely pairings that are surprisingly delicious such
as Orange Hibiscus Ginger Cayenne and Pineapple Orange Turmeric.
Open Tuesday-Sunday 7 AM - 2 PM, head over to Glory Doughnuts bright and early
because its first come, first served and they often sell out fast. Be prepared
for a truly glorious vegan doughnut experience.
