The Best MEAL I’ve Ever Had • From a full-blown food festival at one of the most famous places on the planet to a mysterious underground supper club with some of the most peculiar dishes we’ve ever tasted, VegNews editors have had some next-level dining experiences over the years. So we asked five staffers to share their stories about the day they had the best meal ever.

Impossible Banh Mi • at Disney’s California Adventure Anaheim, CA

Underground Avant-Garde Dinner • at Wolvesmouth Supper Club • Hollywood, CA

Massaman Curry Noodles • at Minty Z • Miami, FL

Vegan Molletes • at Forever Vegano • Mexico City, Mexico

Chinese Takeout Banquet • at Vegan Planet • London, England

all-day EGGS • Gloriously runny yolks, delicately poached, fluffy frittatas … the role eggs play in the world of food can’t be denied. And now, even vegans can join in on the fun. We’ve cracked the code on recreating the most delicate dishes and most eye-popping plates (it’s easier than it looks, trust us).

Whether you opt for fresh bouquets from the farmers’ market or decide to transform your backyard into a blooming oasis, flowers have the power to brighten up even the most mundane of days. So why not spruce up your pantry with florals, too! VegNews editors searched far and wide for the best flower-infused products, and these are 10 of our favorites.

ALL ABOARD The ARK • Local, sustainable, foraged ingredients take center stage at Chef Brett Lavender’s Copenhagen fine-dining institution Ark.

Get Your Fill in Philly • It’s no secret that Philadelphia has been making a name for itself as one of the nation’s vegan capitals. In the past decade, the veg community has been steadily growing, and local restaurants are following suit. With recognition building and many beloved Philly institutions earning well-deserved spots on vegan must-try lists around the country, The City of...
