Choices Vegan Cafe

South American women are like harem women-highly ornamental, they spend enormous time on their personal appearance and rarely leave their homes. When they do venture forth, it's with flawless makeup, cleavage baring outfits and high heels-even if it's to drop off the kids at school. Of course, if it's the only time they venture forth from home, they want to look their best, despite that looking like you're going out on a hot date at 8am is hardly maternal. Despite this obsession with appearance, Miami has among the most unhealthy people in the US. Like Fernando says, it's more important to look good than to feel good, pretty much the Miami mantra.  There are very few vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Miami, so I feel it's VERY important to support those that do exist.  Like Choices Vegan Cafe.

The meal was just great-even GS thought so, and he's someone that normally just exists on occasional mists of water and steamed broccoli.  A meal like that brings out my fantasy of saving a small foreign woman from the international sex trade and bringing her to live with me. Together we'd share a life, shunning men, and she'd walk on my back with her tiny feet and cook me delicious meals. I wish I could bring the staff of Choices home with me to cook ummy vegan foods, or else I can camp out in the kitchen and take all my meals there. The sweet potato fries were the best I've had-I don't even like sweet potatoes-but now I realize I was cooking them all wrong. It's in the preparation, darling. The lovely chef at Choices wouldn't tell me her sweet potato secret, which I fully respect-they were crispy and light-I'd call them fluffy. They melted in your mouth.  I had a Mexican wrap and GS had the portabella sandwich-both were great but I could tell GS really dug my wrap.  The sweet plantain was a nice foil for the spicy vegan "chorizo".  I took home a piece of Banana Walnut cake that was delicious-I'd love to try her coconut or banana cake.  You see, now I'm making demands!

Really, please eat here.  The good is great and you'll be a doing a good thing, not just for yourself but by supporting small, local businesses.
