Any time I discover a new vegan restaurant, it’s like having a birthday. I get sooo excited! You mean there’s another restaurant in which I can order absolutely ANYTHING on the menu??? WEEE!! Sheer bliss.

Imagine my excitement when I found an exquisite pure vegan restaurant just a quick jaunt from my home in Salt Lake. At 2280 South West Temple lies Vertical Diner. Granted, it’s surrounded by an industrial park, which is odd. But the diner itself is just that: a cute little diner. A place where you can order biscuits and gravy, a chicken sandwich (heavenly), chicken tenders, quesadillas, reubens, and much more, guilt-free! I even had to double-check during my first visit. “You mean… this is ALL vegan?” Too good to be true.

And the food is fantastic. Much better than any store-bought frozen foods. We’re talking homemade breaded chicken, homemade sausage and eggs… I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. Now I just have to get my fill of wonderful home-cooked food there before going raw for 40 days straight…

Next time you’re in the area of Salt Lake, check it out! I plan on taking my out of town friends and family there next time they come to visit. It never hurts to show meat-eaters what amazing vegan fare tastes like. And if you live in Utah, and haven’t gone yet- what the heck are you waiting for!?
