The Veggie Grill. You gotta taste it to believe it!

If you know anything about me, you know I'm super selective when it comes to endorsing products, businesses, or services. As a lifestyle expert, I am always searching" for the highest quality in what the consumer world has to offer. I consider a lot of variables when I am deciding whether or not something is deemed: "Mission Possible™ Lifestyle approved!" I look at ingredients and inspect menus for quality and purity. I gauge the size of the ecological footprint. I make note of how my body feels after I eat or use a specific product. But, most importantly, I pay attention to the energetic vibration of the company or product. An example of a low vibration company is a fast food restaurant. It isn't buzzing with life and abundance. I don't "feel" empowered when I walk into a place like that. A perfect example of a high vibration restaurant is The Veggie Grill. I discovered their 3rd location in El Segundo (next to the big and beautiful Whole Foods). I was googling restaurants in the area and it came up in the search. I was drawn to it. I was intrigued and checked out their menu online. As I drove to one of my soon-to-be favorite eateries, I couldn't stop thinking about what the HELL I was gonna order! Everything looked mouth-wateringly amazing. The second I walked in I felt a wave of high vibration energy. The vivacious colors on the wall. The cleanliness of the establishment. The friendly staff who approached me (while I perused the menu even further) to see if they could offer suggestions. The background noise of laughter and excitement coming from the people dining both in the perfectly air conditioned room and the distant happy chatter coming from the patrons sitting in the California sunshine on the patio. Yes. Everything was a yes, and I still hadn't even made it to the register to order my food. I finally made my choice to order the Chipotle BBQ sandwich, but I opted out of the bread and chose to have it served to me on a brilliant green bed of kale. Yes. Double yes. I noticed a sign that said they were quoted to have "the best sweet potato fries in Orange County." I thought, "wow, what a bold statement. I guess I should give 'em a try since I'm a sweet potato fries conoisseur..." My food arrived and every bite made me feel like I was having a party in my mouth. I couldn't believe the "steak" I was eating was in fact Gardein™ "meat", created by the world renowned vegan chef Tal Ronnen. My tastebuds told me I was misinformed and lying to them. "No," I said. "You are just confused, my friends. But thanks for allowing me to enjoy this meal. The mouth watering experience is a nice touch. Keep it up." I decided that their sweet potato fries were not the best in Orange County. I concluded that they were the best in the WORLD!!! My first visit (of hundreds, it seems) was about 2 years ago and I've danced around the menu many times. I've tried almost every item and haven't disliked one of them. I am a HUGE fan of their All Hail Kale salad which looks like a bowl full of vegetable and quinoa confetti. I crave it like most people crave dessert. The Veggie Grill says their food is "amazingly delicious, unique, high-quality food that you have to try once to truly appreciate." There is nothing more true than that statement except for the fact that The Veggie Grill is 157% FULLY Mission Possible™ Lifestyle approved! When I approve of something, everyone knows it must be amazing. I have brought in countless amounts of people: friends, family, and clients. They all return, time after time, and they bring in their friends and family members. I've even sent strangers to The Veggie Grill from my Facebook and Twitter updates. I made a point to visit all 4 of their locations but I frequent the one at 8000 Sunset. Now I feel like TVG is the modern-day and real-life Cheers. I know everyone in there! My friends often say I should be the mayor of TVG. While running for office doesn't entice me... I am, shamelessly mind you, a TVG addict. Go in and experience the perfect indulgence of The Veggie Grill. Auntie Jenna says so!
