I have basically waited wayyy too long for The Cooking Channel’s blog to update its results on the “50 States, 50 Dishes” post. You can read it here.

My plan was to gather the results and then veganize each one once a week. What a neat idea for ongoing blog posts, right?

Well, The Cooking Channel has been taking too long and I am letting my blog posts lag, as usual. (What, I am a boring person!)
