As CLAWtheory has hit the road, we’ve made some happy discoveries and encountered some wonderful veg dining experiences and wonderful people. Since current estimates suggest that only about 7% of the U.S. population maintains a vegetarian or vegan diet, we’re willing to make U-Turns when we find places as cool as Detroit Vegan Soul in Detroit, Michigan!  Thank you for cooking with compassion and helping the 7% crowd feel 100% connected.

Love comfort foods?  You’re going to love every bite you take at Detroit Vegan Soul.  Classic favorites and new temptations abound on their extensive menu.  Yes, you’ll want to try everything – and you’ll feel good doing it. DVS partners with local food providers to offer an array of sustainable, seasonable menu items.   The result will help you discover delightful vegan options that turn guilty pleasures into healthy treats.  Enjoy the bold flavors, great selections, and crave-able creations at DVS.   Got company?  They cater!

If you’re looking for a place to join family & friends for  you’ll be glad you stopped at Detroit Vegan Soul.  They certainly made our travels happier, and we think they’ve made the world a nicer place, too.  One taste of this delightfully inspired cuisine and maybe your non-veg friends and family may make a veg life U-Turn, too.

About U-Turns

Though one recent poll suggests there are more than 7 million vegetarians/vegans in the U.S., it’s easy to feel isolated when you’re part of (roughly) 7% of the population.  One recent report  revealed that “a large majority of former vegetarians/vegans (63%) said that they disliked that their diet made them stick out from the crowd.”  That inspired CLAWtheory to give a big thanks to some of the awesome people and places we’ve discovered on the road who are making veg life better, and U-Turns was born.

While we have enjoyed veg meals at many veg-friendly establishments,  the U-Turns list is restricted to vegetarian and vegan restaurants.  While we appreciate veg-friendly menus, food that’s made by and for veg folks is usually off the happy charts.  This list is not intended as a complete guide or as a review – we haven’t been everywhere (and probably won’t get everywhere).  We simply want to offer a deeply heartfelt thank you to the places and folks we’ve found and are excited to share.
