Quickie Too – Tacoma

Kay and I had a nice afternoon  in Tacoma today, cruising some neighborhoods looking at houses, then went to see La La Land at the Grand Cinema, and then having dinner at Quickie Too.  We loved the Jamaican Burger and fries but also loved a conversation with the matriarch of the leading vegan restauranteur family in the Puget Sound area, Niombi Howell.  She is as charming as she is expert at creating vegan comfort food at her restaurant.  I recommend Quickie Too without reservation as a great place for a meal in Tacoma.  The more upscale Plum Bistro and Plum Pantry in Seattle are later comers to the Puget Sound vegan scene, but Ms. Howell and her husband started it all  with Quickie Too on Hilltop 16 years ago after their vegan sandwich business supplying local markets became so popular they felt they could serve this food at a restaurant.  Their daughter is the head cook at the Plum Bistro and the author of that restaurants well received cookbook.  You can follow them on facebook if you like also.
