Exploring the Vegan Capital of Canada | Road Trip with Kids | Plant-Based

[@PlantsandRecreation]

I love the relationship you have with your kids. Thanks for sharing the trips with us!

[@pbwithjeremy]

My pleasure - thanks for watching!!!

[@annerudziensky5259]

I love Annie's personality. She is such a smiley, positive kid. She always seems willing to try a new food.

[@pbwithjeremy]

She'll always try it - she doesn't always love it - but you never have to wonder how Annie's feeling :)

Hey Jeremy! I actually grew up in Timmins, which is just north of Sudbury. I’ve been in London now though since 1996. I had no idea they would have all those vegan options up north. It’s usually your typical meat and potatoes, hunting and fishing town up there. Loved seeing that they now are expanding with vegan places to eat! If you come to London (which I know you have), try V Spot, Plant Matter Kitchen, and Beertown. V Spot is more the indulgent comfort food and awesome donuts. PMK more healthy vegan food, and Beertown is pub food…not a vegan place but they have an entire vegan menu that basically is same as the regular one but made vegan! So you’re not stuck with a salad or a burger as your only option.

[@pbwithjeremy]

These are AWESOME recommendations! I might be spending some time in London this spring - so thanks for this!!!! They've got a great pizza place there with a big vegan menu too - zen'Za

[@taniaallan5702]

@@pbwithjeremyI still need to try that place!! I used to order Panago if I ever ordered pizza, but they’ve closed. Although there are rumours they are opening another in downtown so fingers crossed!

[@pbwithjeremy]

It's decent and worth trying!

[@vi3472]

Fun to watch!!! Apple fritters are one of my favorite treats!!! I want that ice cream too 😋 I love cherry soda! I am living vicariously through this video, lol! Great kids and I love how you do things like this with them!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Fritters are a weakness

Hello from Listowel. Thanks for sharing. I have just started eating this way and I love your down to earth tell it like it is reviews! It sure helps out a lot when cooking and now traveling.

[@pbwithjeremy]

You are so welcome! Welcome to the community - glad we're helpful!

[@Jennybmykeec]

Ooooh you have to check out a Planet Diner in Stratford. It is amazing vegan pub food!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Ohhh - next time I'm in Stratford! Our farm is close to there and we often go at least once a year for the festival

[@candicekochut8630]

Sounds good! I am so excited to try it! Thanks for the recommendation!!!

[@crystalnahaiowski2575]

Hello from Edmonton, Alberta! Edmonton has a lot of vegan options, my fav is Padmanadi (Thai/vietnamese fusion) Covid did a number on our restaurants here, especially the plantbased ones. Goodstock is an amazing whole food plantbased family owned place that offers homade frozen and fresh meals.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I LOVE Padmanadi. I tried to do an Edmonton video last time I was there, but like you said, lots of places were closed and it started to seem a little depressing - so I didn't finish it up. I' LOVE to go to Padmanadi with a big group where we could order a bunch of dishes and share :) Mmmmmm. Moth Cafe is one of my favs when I'm there too :)

[@kathystoner5239]

Fun to watch! Looks yummy! Salt Lake Ciity, Utah has some good places to eat! My favorite is called The Verticle Diner( they have one in Portland Oregon as well). So good! Its all vegan!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@1auntievenom]

Never been to Canada but would love to go and get some vegan grub. Hi from New Orleans. (My name is Melissa) Oh, and there are not a ton of vegan options here but the ones that do it do it well.

[@pbwithjeremy]

What's the best place to hit up in New Orleans?

[@cloudwalker8266]

Oh man! You had me jealous and drooling the whole time...except for that very sad breakfast. What a fun trip!

[@pbwithjeremy]

The saddest of all the breakfasts.....

[@cloudwalker8266]

@@pbwithjeremy Aww. Hopefully, all the other great fare you got to enjoy made up for that one. Reminded me of the time I went to a burger dive in a small town and made the mistake of asking for a salad. They brought me a small bowl of wilted, brown-edged lettuce with one slice of tomato that was hard and half green. Nothing else. It was practically criminal. LOL

[@pbwithjeremy]

Salad fail! And yes. The rest made up for it!!

[@mommaz820]

Hi, from Regina, SK!! Our vegan offerings here are few...although an Odd Burger just opened here. Junk vegan...but still vegan. I just think of all the money we save by not having anywhere to eat out!! Plus, I've had food poisoning more than once from restaurant food, sooooo maybe a lesson there. Try to stick to whole foods, and usually either bring our own food on holidays or "eat out" at the grocery store, produce section.

[@patriciamaloy8541]

Can you tell me what you actually may have to eat in a day?

[@pbwithjeremy]

Are you asking me or Momma?

[@pbwithjeremy]

Yup - at home we eat WFPB - when we're out we'll allow ourselves some treats like this - all about balance - but I'd say 95% of what we eat is WFPB. Thanks for sharing!

[@SHARONWEBB-xq1dj]

Hi Its Sharon Webb again fyi I'm from Detroit, but we had a cottage and spent many years on Georgain bay, Bying inlet. We had a cottage in Britt. That is 1/2 way between Toranto and Sudbury. We now live in Florida and I'm a new not perfect vegan. 48 days off animals, but some bi products, yogurt and cheese pizza, my down fall. Learning through KZbin and all the wonderful Canadain Vegan chefs, I now really miss Canada. You have all the vegan foods up there you can think of. I'm the chewing with your mouth open girl. Again imsorry. Ty for your great work.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hey Sharon! Being a Not-Perfect-Vegan is better than not even trying. Good for you! Really happy we can be part of your journey!

[@jenwylie4093]

It's nice to see so many vegan options!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Right?! And it's not a huge city by any means.

[@tracyhuckaby5876]

Hi! From Canyon, Tx which is in the Texas Panhandle. I am new to your channel. I am enjoying watching your videos and the dynamics of your family. I have never been to Canada but it's on my list to visit.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for subbing! And welcome! To be fair if you're coming to Canada to see all the great sights Sudbury might underwhelm... LOTS of cities in Canada have great vegan scenes!

[@ChrisKelsey]

I've been to Sudbury so many times and I did not even know they had any vegan restaurants! It's a bit unexpected. I know what to try next time.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh you're in for a treat!

[@Whiskeytango2178]

I’m from Sudbury. Maybe time to move back for the food! 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

Haha - where are you now?

[@Fclwilson]

It has been years since I visited Canada. I just may have to visit Sudbury.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Northern Ontario is beautiful!

[@yolandadunmore104]

Great video! I wonder if Annie’s illness was related to the amount of oil in the food consumed during the trip especially since you rarely cook with oil at home?

[@pbwithjeremy]

Great question - it's a bug she got from a classmate. Something was going around.

[@susanneattia5953]

We celebrated my daughter’s graduation yesterday & treated ourselves to lunch at Planta on Queen. What an amazing restaurant, I can’t remember when was the last time I ate at a more fancy place and 100% plantbased. Their lunch menu had a good selection and a good variety of gluten free options as well. The lunch menu order comes with a chocolate chip cookie but since my daughter is GF they accommodated that and gave her the matcha cheesecake at no extra cost. We have copperbranch in Mississauga and they have a great brunch menu. As for sweets we really like Kelly’s bake shop in Burlington, all gluten free and vegan. Have you ever tried Bloomer’s doughnuts? We have a location in Mississauga now but haven’t tried yet. I really enjoy the Happy Cow app to find awesome vegan places when traveling. FYI I think the capital of vegan food is Berlin😀.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Wait - is the world wide capital of vegan food actually Berlin still? I thought it became Tel Aviv recently... LOVE Planta on Queen - great way to celebrate - congrats to your daughter!!! Copper branch has saved me so many times in so many cities - I love it. I've been to Kelly's in Burlington as well. I've had Bloomers and they're fine. By no means my fav Vegan donuts. For that it would be Lady Glaze in the KW region and a close second would be Glory Hole in Toronto.

[@susanneattia5953]

@@pbwithjeremy you could be right with Tel Aviv, I think I heard something but for me Berlin will be always be the top. Have you ever tried Tenon in downtown? All vegan sushi, that’s on my list to try next time I can treat myself.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I've heard of it but haven't tried it!

[@dianamerrell2350]

We have a new vegan restaurant here in Sudbury!! It’s called Vegan Ready and it’s oil free and low salt.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hi from Seattle, WA!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hey Dawn!!!!

[@VgnRaj]

Nice Vegan Tour of Sudbury. Some editing would make this ideal as a KZbin Tour Guide.

[@pbwithjeremy]

How so?

[@VgnRaj]

You presented a lovely family trip that showed the places you went to, their addresses the storefronts, a brief menu and some of the food. Some who watch these videos also look for longer close-ups of the menus, a review of the food eaten compared to past experiences (as only you did here) and less family and face time of the reviewers in a compact time frame. That way a playlist can be easily made to follow concisely where to go and what to try without a lot of scanning and searching. Vegan Ballerina recently went to Vienna and did a great job of this. I do appreciate what you have done here.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tips - our audience seems to enjoy us showing the family stuff so we do lean into that for that reason - sorry it's not to your taste but glad you like it otherwise!

[@KarinKuiper]

@@pbwithjeremy That's right. I really have a hard time with the open-mouth chewing, and it turns me off the videos sometimes. But I guess that's just a cultural thing, like tackling your food with a knife and fork. I keep following because of the good content, but I skip the chewing parts of some of the family members 😁.

Seed oils take three years to detox out of our bodies. I understand those are fun foods but they will be filled with seed oils. Restaurants are not places to frequent if we want to avoid polyunsaturated industrial oils. Once you start the research on them you will not want them in your body.

[@thepeyerls]

The foods you showed looked very processed and full of sugar.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh - this wasn't a healthy trip by any means - but not everything was processed! Mostly just the treats.
