We began our first trip in 5 years to Colorado on Friday morning and arrived yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 We had planned on spending our first day in Boulder and our lunch was at VG Burgers<\/a>.\u00a0 I had been looking forward to VG Burgers since finding out about the place and the idea of burgers, chili-cheese fries and milkshakes (all vegan!) was exciting to a foodie. \u00a0 After finding our hotel\u00a0 and getting the day of multi-state driving washed off we headed out.\u00a0 Being hungry VG Burgers would be the first stop.\u00a0 A small diner-ish place it looked perfect for finding good vegan eats.\u00a0 I had a 1\/4 pound veggie burger, chili-cheese fries and an agave-sweetened root beer.\u00a0 My wife had the tempeh BBQ burger, large fries and the agave-sweetened cola and my daughter the nuggets and small fries.\u00a0 I think my expectations were too high or this place just doesn’t cut it.\u00a0 The microwaved patties were placed onto cold buns.\u00a0 I make a better veggie burger at home and to top it off the veggie burger selections are Amy’s patties.\u00a0 The nuggets are Boca, same you buy at the store in the frozen section and the fries, while\u00a0 baked, just seemed not fully cooked.\u00a0 I will give the agave-sweetened drinks good points but not enough to warrant a return trip.\u00a0 VG Burgers in Boulder would rank as some of the worst vegan food I have encountered and at the price, $36 for the three of us, it can’t get much worse.\u00a0 Burgers are $6 each and small fries are $3, far too pricey considering they are serving the same thing I can buy at a grocery store.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we visited Pearl Street Mall and walked around for a few hours.\u00a0 Our last visit didn’t give up the time to see most of Boulder. \u00a0 We went to Savory Spice Shop<\/a> where we bought some Black Onyx Dutch Cocoa for making cupcakes and fake-hostess cakes.\u00a0 They were having a grand opening and giving out free beer and wine, so a beer I had.<\/p>\n
