Yesterday I decided it was time to get out of the house and take a trip to St. Louis for some delicious vegan foods. BIG thanks to @bobbyautry for telling me about Sweet Art. Otherwise I never would have known about them. After spending a few minutes looking through their website I just knew I had to go. Everything looked/sounded so good. So when Juan asked me “Where to?” I quickly pulled up the website and said “There!”
When we arrived I did something I’ve never done before. I actually went inside with Juan to order my food. Usually I send him to do my dirty work because I feel terribly uncomfortable in most places and end up shying away, but not this time. To tell you the truth I felt right at home. It was very warm and inviting. It was a little hard to focus on ordering though because my eyes were everywhere. The paintings on the walls were so beautiful and vibrant. Even the menu was pretty!
Needless to say my eyes quickly spotted the vegan cupcakes in the pastry case. There were only two to choose from at that time. From what I understand the vegan goodies come and go rather quickly. I can definitely understand why. They were delicious! Fluffy and moist and all kinds of awesome. It was just what I needed.
For lunch I ordered the Flad. It’s a delicious, spicy three bean chili with sweet potatoes served with a house made salsa. You can have it as a burrito or as nachos. I went with nachos. I have had lots of chili and many a nacho in my time. But this my friends, this takes the cake. I think it’s the sweet potato that sealed the deal. Wow. The mixture of sweet and spicy really does come together nicely in this dish. I’m probably going to have to walk/jog an extra five miles, but it is SO worth it.
I only hope that my photos depict just how great the food was. The food stayed in the car for quite some time while we shopped and then had a rough ride home. I did my best to keep it all in one piece so that I could take some photos when I got home. If you want to see some better photos of the goods, I suggest browsing their website. Once I’m more settled in here and have some decent photo props, I will go back for more goods and take some much better photos. Until then, feel free to drool over those nachos. :)
