Good Karma at Venice Beach




Last weekend we took a little trip to Venice Beach. We just wandered around the boardwalk area and beach and watched some basketball and skateboarders. There were no dancing rollerbladers though which was a shame as the last few times we have gone we have sat for ages watching them...they have some amazing moves!
And of course we ate! I found a groovy little place called Good Karma on the internet before we went. It was really easy to find as it’s directly opposite Muscle Beach. Their food looks like a typical fast food place, but it’s 100% vegan.
I got a Mushroom Swiss Burger. So big it required two hands to hold it! It was soooo good! Possibly the best veggie burger I’ve eaten! Unfortunately for me I had promised half of it to Wee G in exchange for half of his hot dog... After eating half I was very reluctant to hand over the rest to Wee G!
His hot dog was just your average veggie dog, nothing special, especially after the veggie burger! We also got fries and “chicken” strips. Both were super yummy! It was really, really windy so Wee G just stuck the camera in the bags for these photos!

So, if you are ever in Venice Beach I would totally recommend this place! It’s not very healthy, but it is very yummy!

Hi SV! What a fun photo essay featuring Venice Beach -- that's such a fun place to go. And now, I know where to eat when we visit next time. My girls would dig that veggie dog -- basic food wins them over.

Gorgeous- and now you'll have good karma for this fun and informative post!
I think blog-surfing and seeing sunny summery photos like yours has preserved my sanity!

Wow, what a placec to visit--those photos are lovely. I would really like to make it out to Cali one day soon. And I'll for sure look up Good Karma when I go, and get that yummy burger--and NOT promise half of it to Bob!
