After so many recommendations from my vegan friends, I finally decided to head on over to Life Food Gourmet in Downtown Miami.
Life Food Chef, John SchottJohn is a great chef. His food has such good energy, pure energy. He's been on a living foods diet for four years straight. Pretty impressive if you know how difficult that can be if you're not a chef. We had a nice chat about lifestyle, food, health and the future of his restaurant. He has some big plans that I'm sure are going to be successful.
First off, I had some Nachos. I haven't had nachos in many many years. These tasted like gourmet nachos. Very tasty and fresh. They have salsa, homemade guacamole, pumpkin spiced "carne molida", nacho pine nut cheese & brazil sour cream. Unbelievable!
Tato's Crazy *Chz* NachosHe asked me if I wanted to try a pizza. I told him, "No, I don't like pizza." What I meant was, "I don't like raw pizza." He said, "It tastes like real pizza, and it's made with sprouted quinoa, flaxseeds and SD tomato bread." I was curious. I gave it a try and all I can say is that, it was divine. I've had "raw" pizza before and this one blows them all away!
NYC Cheese Pizza& Super Veggie Pizza
Of course, I was stuffed by now. Then John asked me, "Did you save room for a 'Fall In Love' cupcake?" I can't say 'No' to chocolate. Trust me when I tell you, I cannot adequately describe the emotions after eating this cupcake. It just wouldn't be PC. ;-) It's described in the menu as, "Made with molded brazil nut cake base with a mind altering raw chocolate fudge."

Anyway, the place is nice and cozy. It's on the second floor of a building with a brown awning. You feel like you're in a bed and breakfast, and the chef prepares food for you, as you watch them from the dining room. Life Food Gourmet and John were a nice surprise.
Go check it out. Eat exactly what I had and you will sleep like a baby. Although, I'm sure everything is equally fantastic!

Wow, that's fabulous! Thanks for posting this :)
*Just* went to Pure Food and Wine in NYC last Friday and lamented about not having such a wonderful option in SoFla!
Thanks so much for your review! I hadn't even heard about this restaurant. OMG, I wish they would open a branch in Sarasota now!
Thank you for posting that review!
I have been thoroughly enjoying John's wonderfully creative delights at Glaser Market in Coconut Grove on Saturdays for quite some time now. John's wonderful smile and all the love he places his dishes is definitely
some of the best energy around!!
