Bloop, Good For You Goodness:









Not hard to guess which bowls do not belong to Jess (cilantro- eek!)
Shockingly, it was mine. For official purposes. Living on the edge!
But both Stumptown Vegans HATE cilantro!
I am relieved that you both hate cilantro & admire your dedication to the authenticity of your photographs. You are more open-minded than I!

i would like to state for the record that only once in several years of Whole Bowl devotion has my bowl been un-filled-to-the-top as in your picture. it’s usually so full you have to smash the food down to get the lid on. (99% of the time i’m at the Pearl location, maybe that’s the difference??). lastly, someone once offered me $50 to figure out the Tali Sauce recipe. that’s how good it is.
What about blossoming lotus’ bowls? They are quite tasty. Also (veganized )Brian’s Bowl from Por Que No is delicious.
oops didnt see the BloLo shoutout sorry
The curry bowl from Papa G’s is phenomenal!!!
