OMG That’s Vegan: Say Cheese with #halfvegan David Rosseti

Nov 18, 2015 | Vegan

You can’t get much more fun than this on the vegan web: one of our favorite vegan YouTubers, The Vegan Roadie, has a new video series, OMG That’s Vegan.

In the episode below Dustin and his friend David Rosseti review a bunch of vegan cheeses from different makers.

Give it a view and a thumbs up. And while you’re there, watch the first season of The Vegan Roadie. He’s funny, inventive, and has reviewed many of the places we here at Things Vegans Cook have eaten when we’re on the road. Can’t wait to try vegan San Francisco!
