City O' City Denver

Orale pisas, in this installment of VBE I will review a place in Denver called City O City. We rolled up to the joint and the place was busy as hell. Morrissey took our names and we sat out front and drank a few sidewalk beers before we were seated.

Half the food on the menu is vegan, the other half, not vegan. I ordered the Fork and Knife sandwich. If any of you know me personally you would have guessed I was to order this. This dish is a pretzel resting on a bed of french fries, covered with meatloaf and greens and slathered in gravy. I have seen some exotic shit in my day, but this blew my fucking mind. My chub instantly went from caterpillar to Graboid.

Melissa ordered the Buffalo Seitan Wings which are deep fried seitan strips doused in hot wing sauze with a side of ranch. Lee ordered the BBQ Plate which is a rack of bbq tofu shaped like ribs with a side of Mac and Cheese and sauteed greens.

I got to try everyone's food and it all was barfalicious. My food had a hint of vanilla soy milk which I assumed they used in the gravy. It was barely noticeable but I'm deducting half a plunge for it. Other than that the wait staff was courteous and attentive, and the ambiance of frooty muscle-shirt clad hipsters kept the mood lively.

Poor Richard's Restaurant Colorado Springs

PIZZZZZZZAAAA BLAAAHHHAAAAAA!!!!!1

I'm in Colorado Springs chillen after 2 weeks on the road. Melissr and I were driving back from Valley View Hot Springs where we spent the day totally naked getting sunburned in some hot springs. I wanted pizza because my butt had not pooped pizza in a week or so. I googled "vegan pizza colorado springs" and Poor Richards showed up.

We met up with Jill, Jeff and Melissa's little sister to sit down for a healthy carb sesh. I ordered a pizza with Daiya, mushrooms, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. It came out to $26 dollarsez. Everyone else ordered an unvegan cheese pizza and split it amongst themselves.

Since I ordered my food first I assumed I would have got it first, boy was I wrong. About 15 minutes after we ordered, the non-vegan cheese pizza got to the table. I waited patiently another 20 minutes for my pizza to get to the table. The worst part was I already paid my tip because I got conned into writing the tip on the credit card receipt. So they had no repercussion for taking their sweet ass time.

Okay, so the pizzer was actually really good. They dump a good amount of Daiya on there and crust/sauce is pretty deliciouso. But jesus christ does their staff suck. They are lazy, rude and inattentive, but what more can you expect from hipster college kids? Fuck it. I guess hipsters need jobs for tattoos and moustache wax.
