Dillon Ate . . . Gelato in Berlin (?!)
Posted: May 15, 2009 Filed under: Desserts, Italian, Snacks, Travelling Food, Vegan, Vegetarian Leave a comment »Broke in Berlin # 17
It’s a good thing that Berlin was starting to warm-up, because after that extremely sub-par “Veggie Burger” – I needed something to make feel good about great food again. So I peeped this gelato spot across the street (it turned into a coffeeshop next-door during the winter) – looked pretty slamming. I had a scoop of pineapple and mango. BONG! BANG! BING! . . . and it was cheap too!
The kid needed a biggidy BOOST!
That's that pineapple mango!
Peep how the sun bounces offa the kid! Good Lord!
Dillon Ate . . . at Yellow Sunshine Vegatarisch in Berlin

So I’m a sucker for a good vegtarian restaurant, as I am . . . well, vegetarian. So apparently one of the dope spots in Berlin to eat at is “Yellow Sunshine.” Local musicians (Thanks, Danah) big this up as “Vegetarian fast food.” Well anyway, it was ok – but I’m not into the veggie burger patties that are like some rubber soy ish – I’m more into actual veggies, lentils, black beans, etc. The fries were good though. But fried food ain’t the lick ya’ll. I was kinda unimpressed . . .
