We are Val & Mani–married attorneys by day and international plant-based cooking enthusiasts by night. We live in Houston, Texas with our crazy rescue pug Mango. Val is of Filipino descent, and Mani is of Iranian descent. As BIPOC creators who have traveled to 33 countries and 5 continents, we aim to showcase plant-based versions of foods we’ve sampled during our travels, as well as dishes we grew up eating.

🌱 🔥🐔 If you’re headed to Nashville, eating hot chicken in its birthplace is pretty much mandatory. For the unacquainted, hot chicken is a delicacy that originated in Nashville’s Black community in the 1930s. Today, hot chicken has gone global, and vegan restaurants are getting in on the action, too. Here are 4 must-try, vegan spots in Nashville!

🥕 @vegeliciouscafe brings the flavor with its Soul Chick Hot Plate piled high with fried soy curls, mac & cheese, and greens.

🐝 @thebehive offers a lighter take with its soy-based Hot Chicken Kale Caesar Salad.

🔥 @thesouthernvmarketplace is famous for its Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with a seasoned double-battered seitan patty.

🐄 But our favorite was @grazenashville We are still drooling over their hot tofu and tempeh biscuits.

🇮🇸 Join us for an inside look into the world

🇮🇸 Join us for an inside look into the world’s largest vegan grocery store—located in Reykjavik, Iceland! @veganbudin (Reel by @plantbased.passport)

🛒 Since its opening in 2020, Vegan Budin’s claim to be the most massive vegan grocery store on the planet has gone undisputed. But the almost 6,000 items sold there lay groundwork for the claim.

They’ve got a freezer section with vegan meat substitutes, pre-prepared meals, and ice cream. There’s also a refrigerated section with fresh produce, vegan dairy, vegan eggs, and things like kimchi. In the aisles, you’ll find dry goods (pasta, beans, nuts, cereals, breads), condiments, and supplements. Additionally, you can get your hands on so much more than food; think clothes or cruelty-free cosmetics and cleaning products.
