Soul Food Popup At CHOW Public Market Place This Weekend
I haven t had soul food in years! Once I transitioned into veganism, there were no restaurants in Vegas that catered to vegans who still craved collard greens, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams. Save for me creating vegan versions on my own, I resigned myself to accepting soul food was no longer in the cards for my palate. But then I moved to Idaho and Boise based, black owned food stand, Oh Vegan Soul rescued me from a soulless life!
I shouldn t be surprised that I d find it here. Boise delivers on vegan options. Mai Thai, High Note Cafe, Bombay Grill, and Union Block Eatery are dishing up eats enjoyed by vegans and carnists alike. Seriously, I had to take a break from stuffing myself at Bombay Grill. I was going broke and getting chunky. But there s no way I can resist chowing down on some soul food this weekend.

BOISE, Idaho Two downtown restaurants stepped up this year to carry on a tradition of providing a warm dinner to those who need it most on Christmas Day.
The two-decade tradition - serving meals to the homeless and those who needed some extra help during the holidays - started at Boise s Old Chicago restaurant. But earlier this year, the downtown pizza restaurant closed, leaving many wondering if the Christmas dinner giveaway would vanish with it.
