Day 552...Lazy Dog

Image
On my trip to California last week, I tried a new restaurant. It was not a fully vegan place, but it had a couple of options that could be made vegan. I ordered their Spaghetti Squash and Beetballs without the cheese and a side of cajun fries. I want to start with the fries because they may be some of the best fries I have ever had. The seasoning was great and they were super fluffy on the inside and the right crisp on the outside.  The Spaghetti Squash and Beetballs was also great. It was actually my first time trying spaghetti squash, and I liked it. I didn't particularly enjoy the beetballs, but it think they fit perfectly with the dish.  I also googled Lazy Dog, and there is one near Atlanta. I might have to go there to get more cajun fries.
