VegOut Magazine Summer 2019

With all that rain, I was starting to question why I moved to Los Angeles from Michigan. That’s right, I moved here for the weather, and not to pursue my acting career. Although, you never know.

We’ve selected only the season’s best and can’t wait for you to check out the issue. From milkshakes to acai bowls, we’ve included everything you need for a very vegan summer in LA. Let’s take a look at what’s inside! On page 37, enjoy some photos from my recent dinner at Wattles Farm, a collaboration of Outstanding in the Field and Eat Drink Vegan. This was one of the most LA…

GRAB YOUR TOTES AND SUNNIES! WE’RE SPENDING THOSE LONG SUMMER DAYS ON THE WESTSIDE. Every Los Angeleno knows of the rivalry between the East and West sides, and the only thing preventing an all-out brawl is the stop-and-go traffic that dissuades residents from traversing the city.

You just can’t beat the beach when the temperatures climb up to ninety and above. We’ve got 24 hours and a lot of coast to cover. Grab your shades and let’s go! BUT FIRST, COFFEE If all you need is a quality shot of caffeine to start your day, wake up…

They both come with a bed of white rice. If you like garlic, upgrade to the garlic rice. MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE I’ve…
