Some of the great vegan food that I enjoyed on my recent trip to Minneapolis:
Eatery	Ethnicity	What I Ate:
Sindbad's	Iranian/Middle Eastern	Falafel, stuffed grape leaves, cauliflower salad, tabouli salad
Pizza Lucé	Italian	Pizza w/ spinach, artichoke hearts, spicy mock duck, and some tasty (homemade) vegan cheese that sounded like a variation of "ricotta"
Ideal Diner	All-American	Hashbrowns (extra crispy), orange juice, and raspy-voiced conversation
Kihn Do	Vietnamese	(Went with a group) Mock Duck w/ Potatoes, "Hero" Mock Duck (spicy, w/ noodles), Mock Duck w/ Cashew Nuts, "Heavenly Vegetarian" (w/ tofu, bell peppers, and onions) Delicious as always.
Seward Café	Earth-Mother/ "Natural"	Vegan "Righteous" pancakes, "Red/Green Earth" (hashbrowns w/ tofu, broccoli, and rancheros sauce), Vegan Biscuits and Gravy, fruit smoothie
Chiang Mai Thai	Thai	"Fire Noodles" (not very fiery, but still good) w/ mock duck, onion, basil, peppers; fried tofu appetizer, fresh spring rolls
Phuong Café	Vietnamese	#111 or 113 (can't remember), vietnamese soup w/ rice noodles, tofu, mock duck, bean sprouts, and mixed vegetables
Village Wok	Chinese	"Five Spicy Tofu," (deep-fried tofu, onions, and carrots on a bed of cabbage...not five-spicy, but very tasty); Tofu w/ Black Bean Sauce
Java Restaurant	Middle Eastern	Falafel, Tabouli salad, Pita Bread, Mixed Vegetables (potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower)
Miscellaneous Places/Times >>		Various vegan cookies and snacks and drinks, from the Wedge co-op, asian markets, etc
	Special thanks to Keiko, Ryan, and Michael for their hospitality, willingness to drive me around, indulge me in going out to eat repeatedly etc. Thanks to all of the friends with whom I was fortunate enough to briefly visit, it was great to see you all and witness your successes. And lastly, thanks to the crew at CSA for the much-sought-after "Slacks" cologne refill. Hope to see you all again very soon.
