Phood in Philadelphia

This past week for part of my spring break, I traveled to Philadelphia with my mom and brother. I did not expect this city to cater well to vegans being as their most famous food is cheesesteak. Watching my brother eat three cheesesteaks in three days made me really want to try one. I was able to find a place that served a meatless steak on the last day. I wasn't able to have cheese on mine and I think that might be why I did not enjoy it very much. Hopefully, I can go back to Philadelphia and try a real one.  

One night, we went to a restaurant near where we stayed called The Latest Dish. I had read reviews about this place and many people commented on their vegan burger. I decided to order it and I was very pleased. Instead of trying to mimic the flavor of meat, it went for its own taste of black beans mostly.

Philadelphia, being the fifth largest city in the United States, had many different options for all different kinds of people. There were cheese steak places on every corner but there were also restaurants with vegan options too if you looked close enough. I was also able to use online reviews to my advantage to see if restaurants were vegan friendly before going to them. I enjoyed my trip to Philadelphia and the food did not take away from this fun experience.
