MAKING VEGAN COOKING APPROACHABLE
Joe cooks, cleans, and voices the mildly cynical, albeit conversational vegan recipe blog called Dragged Through The Garden. With a focus on veganizing nostalgic/latchkey fare, discontinued fast-food menu items, and regionally niche American cuisine, Joe’s mission in DTTG is providing approachable, step-by-step recipes free of lengthy intros and long-winded paragraphs. Joe also can’t afford a nice camera. Based in Chicago, Illinois with no formal culinary training whatsoever, the idea of “why isn’t there a vegan version of this uber-romanticized latchkey dish on the internet” subsequently blossomed into Dragged Through The Garden, a phrase in reference to the vegetable-dense makeup of the Chicago-style hot dog. But, also somewhat redefined as making familiar dishes vegan by dragging them through the garden. DTTG is unpretentiously geared toward an audience of those who wish to experiment with plant-based cuisine and recreate nostalgic fare sans meat or dairy. Joe also offers menu consultation and recipe development for restaurants and breweries looking to expand into the world of vegan options. He also dabbles in freelance writing.
