Raw Food Reviews

Recently I went to Los Angeles.  I love going on vacation.  I packed my best looks.  It is all about the looks  being Raw (the health too!).  It is a sexy feeling especially when I am "dressed"  I did eat at "Follow Your Heart" a cooked vegan spot that has been around since 1970.  Original owner still in place too!  I could not wait to eat in a city that had Raw and Vegan restaurants all over the place.  We even discovered a Raw Ice Cream Store.  Spent $80 in there and bought Ice Cream for days.  Best Raw Ice Cream I ever had.  The variety of flavors and the consistency were great!  The best part about it has to be the consistency after I took it home and put it in the freezer.  The next 2 days, it was still great tastin. , Straight out the freezer,  it was hot!
Planet Raw.  If you never heard of it, it is Juliano's restaurant.  He wrote a book called Raw years ago and it was one of my first.  I loved his flare then and I appreciate it more now.  His food is sexy.  Stylish, not boring. Interesting textures.  Feels good all over.  He knows what people want.  Great skill!  We had the Mac n Cheese with broccoli...my goodness it was goodness.  Also had jalepeno poppers and the best on the menu for me was the Tom Kha Soup. OMG!  Satisfying to my soul.  Coconut Cheesecake and Apple Pie.  I had only one bite of each, but Spencer demolished both easily.
I was surprised at how down to earth the vibe and owner were.  He said he comes to Florida and will visit, cant wait!  Check out the pics of his food below!
