Ann Arbor Adventure

This morning/afternoon, Veg Club took a trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan to enjoy a veg-friendly atmosphere and each other's company.  It's about an hour and a half drive from Bowling Green to Ann Arbor, and we had just enough seats to fill one vehicle, plus some extra driving time for directional confusion. By the time we arrived in Ann Arbor, we were fair hungry and closed in on our planned destination for lunch: Jazzy Veggie.

Jazzy Veggie is an entirely vegan cafe in downtown Ann Arbor, and we managed to arrived just as they were opening for the day.  Everyone had a phenomenal eating experience, with menu choices ranging from the sweet potato quinoa burger to the muffaletta to the ol' western sub to the jus' veggies sandwich. There was much appraisal of the coleslaw and plantain chips as well, and the servers were quite friendly and helpful.

The next stop on our expedition was The People's Food Co-op. Veg Club has a history of visiting the co-op when we visit Ann Arbor as members appreciate the values behind a cooperative business model and approve of the co-op's efforts to sell local food.  Some pleasing finds included vegan chocolate, locally produced sugar and flour, and bulk nutritional yeast flakes.

Finally, we journeyed to Whole Foods.  Veg Club appreciates the variety of products available to us here that are sometimes hard to find in the smaller town of Bowling Green.  At least one member enthusiastically carried out their shopping for the week, exalting in a franchise dedicated to supplying specifically nutritious, ethically produced food.  All in all, we considered the whole journey quite successful, full of delightful conversation and delicious food.
