Okay ......... I'm a carnivore and will always be a carnivore but occasionally I'll stray and venture to the other side. Rainbow Foods makes an extremely good case for eating plant based foods. I happened to be there for a grand opening. See my pic for their store front at 721 S. Nevada, Suite 407, Redlands. For those who have been in town a while you'll see the Cooking Block sign on their store front - I'll explain in a moment. But to the food...
The lead banner in their website is "Chef-Crafted, Plant-Forward Prepared Foods". So their orientation is plant based and will also include some animal protein lines. We started our tasting in the front part of the suite, you'll see it in the background of the small cup of Mongolian Beef. Surprisingly, I thought this was real beef. It's really vegan. The flavors were spot on and the chew was a dead ringer for tender beef. The next photo is their Chorizo JUST Egg Burritito ™ . This is plant based and vegan, as well. The Chorizo was quite good: nice flavor, good chew and the right amount of heat. The scrambled egg paired very well with the Chorizo. The tortilla is quite good in spite it being gluten free. As seen in the large serving tray Shrimp (animal based) Fried Rice and Wok Fired Shrimp Lo Mein. Unfortunately, these items can't be bought here. BUT, they are sold in Clark's Nutrition & Natural Markets as Ready To Eat, see my sale display pics. Check on their website as they are constantly expanding their distribution in the Inland Empire. But starting in January, they will be offering dining on their premises.
Now back to the store front: this is business will have a lot of food experiences ahead for us. Starting January, they will be offering membership based dining in the rear of this unit. The membership will offer 3 and 5 course paring dinners throughout each month. They will also offer cooking demos and wine education. Keep checking on their website for their on premise dining. read more
