m cafe de chaya – miracle food

Like most people, I have a love/hate relationship with healthy eating. Flavors from fatty foods often sound appealing, but usually lead to a substantial amount of regret.

As a person who tries to keep my tongue as happy as my body, I am constantly looking for places that provide sinfully healthy food. Last year, as an inhabitant of LA, my goal was easy to accomplish.

On my search, I came across a lot of prime spots. However, my quest ended up leading me to one of the most amazing culinary experiences of my life.

M Cafe De Chaya is more than your average organic sandwich shop. With a kitchen that exclusively serves macrobiotic dishes, the restaurant swears that their food helps their customers find an inner peace and outer glow.

Their menu is awesome. After a once over, the average “non-healthy” eater might feel intimidated and even over-whelmed, but after asking a couple of questions and taking a minute to collect oneself, there is no way that a hungry person won’t be excited.

Honestly, nothing is good at this place; everything is great. Since the restaurant is macrobiotic, they do not serve meat or dairy products… But I swear that their veggie burger on whole-grain bread is better than any beef product on any white-bread bun.

Try the Madras Tempe wrap, and anything else that strikes some intrigue. The place uses top quality ingredients and even serves my favorite whole-grain, Quinoa.

M Cafe is healthy, yes; but it is also amazingly tasty… Even my fat friends like it.
