Jilly loves Rawvolution

Before leaving LA (first time since moving!), Taylor and I decided to do the most crunchy thing possible just to give me a little extra boost before re-entering the jungle: NY. What did we do? We went to a raw restaurant on the way to LAX! Moreover, it's called Euphoria Loves Rawvolution! The place is as you'd imagine: mismatched furniture, worn in. Community art. Scarves and other billowy materials. Cat Stevens. People closing their eyes while they ate.
It was a pretty mellowed out vibe. We realized how much NY we still had in us when a woman descended upon our corner nook and introduced herself. We couldn't process her motive of introducing herself and just blankly stared back. Awk-ward!
In any event, the food was really yummy. I had these nori wrapped veggies which came with a miso dip and dilly cucumbers. Taylor had the Swiss and mushroom burger, which of course was not what it seemed to be. But it too was very tasty! The food tasted fresh and hearty and we felt really good after eating. So good that we split some desserts - a cinnamon apple cookie that was a dense puck of dried fruit (but good in a hiking rations sort of way) and a coconut chocolate ball that tasted just like a Mounds to me.
We were in such good spirits when we left we decided to make this pit stop our LAX ritual. It's great food pre-boarding and makes it easier to say no to icky plane food.
