Okay, so today we went to dinner with my father and mother-in-law so that they could see their beautiful grandaughter (if I do say so myself) before her big First Birthday on Wednesday. So, my mother-in-law as usual lets me pick the restaurant. I wanted to try something different and somewhere Kaelyn could eat without worrying about what or where she was touching. I remember my friend Ines telling me abou this wonderful little Vegan restaurant on Orange Ave. So, I went online researched the restaurant and looked at the menu. Mmm, not bad I thought. Let's give it a try. So I told my husband to let the in-laws know where we were going for dinner. When we first arrived I was worried that my father-in-law wouldn't like it (he is a pretty good cook himself), but I knew that my mother-in-law would be all for it (she loves Vegan food and is up for anything). Then I realized that it wasn't a sit down and dine kind of place, it was more like order at the window and find a seat. But none of the less, it was a very cute place. After 15 minutes of eyeing at the menu and asking the cashier/server my millions of questions like,
- What do you consider Vegan?
- Are you sure you don't use eggs or milk?
- Can you make sure that her vegetables are cooked seperately?
- Do you use any kind of peanut oil?
- Would you be willing to make that pizza glutten free?
- What can I order glutten free?
He answered everything nicely and at one point even brought out this huge book with all their ingredients information on it. I was thrilled!! We didn't have to worry about what ingredients were in our food and that we had to wash our hands 20 times at the table while we ate and helped Kaelyn eat. PHew!! So, after a delicious Pizza with Chikun (remeber it's not chicken), onions, and tomatoes and a hummus rice wrap (glutten free) we were some satisfied customers. Including my father-in-law!! YAY! Kaelyn didn't eat much of her food, but who cares!! We got to eat with peace of mind!! Aaahhh!
Oh, yeah the restaurants name is Ethos Vegan Kitchen in Orlando.
