Today John and Lisa O. catch up about all of the good things they ateover winter break. Lisa tried some new restaurants in the SanFrancisco Bay Area, including a vegan cinnamon bun bakery called Cinnaholic and a new vegan Filipino restaurant called No Worries.

John went to Rawlicious, Cafe 668, and scored a great 50% off deal atFresh on New Year's Eve. He also went to two wedding celebrations, one of which was vegan and one of which was definitely not. John's been getting some great use out of his Excalibur dehydrator, making sweet potato chips, kale chips, and smoked coconut. John and Lisa are curious about Greens Vegetarian Restaurant in Kensington.
