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!

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!
