Gehauf's, Lavale, MD

The idea for this blog came up over this meal. Jim had a craving for something different other than the old main stays, which include Taco Bell and Chinese, which we will cover in a later post. After a quick Google search on the Blackberry, Gehauf's came up and was only about a quarter of a mile from where we were parked... Jim called ahead and asked about "entrees free of meat and dairy", the woman replied, "Oh! You mean vegan!" That's always a plus!! Turns out there were a few possibilities so what the hell, let's give it a whirl!

Located at 1290 National Highway, Lavale, MD 21502, Gehauf's is located on the Best Western premises. Their hours of operation and menu can be found at http://gehaufs.com. You can go HERE for the Yahoo map information.

For an appetizer, we ordered the Hummus & Pita, which was freakin sweet! It is the classic garbanzo beans, garlic, etc. recipe; however, they managed to get the proportions just right! The serving size was adequate for ordering a quick lunch.

Jim ordered the Pasta Primavera, angel hair pasta with a big ole pile of veggies on top, and garlic sauce. It was awesome!

Jodi originally ordered the Penne with Vodka sauce; however, upon requesting no cheese throughout the entire order, the waitress returned to inform us that Parmesan cheese was already mixed into the sauce. It looks like Spaghetti Marinara would be Plan B. Who wants curdled bodily fluids anyway? This dish was your average plate of spaghetti.

Both the Pasta Primavera and the Spaghetti meals include Garlic bread, which is a no go due to its pus factor.

The menu did not offer any other Vegan friendly options, except for salad, but everybody's got a salad!

The total for the meal was $33, and we both walked away stuffed, and still took some home! These will make for a bangin midnight snack!

Quality of Food:

Hummus & Pita: Stellar!
Pasta Primavera: Stellar!
Spaghetti Marinara: Meh.
Willingness to Accommodate: Stellar!
Overall Experience: Stellar!
