It only took two weekends for Wild Chive\u2014the brainchild of Brooklyn-based vegan chef powerhouse Soozee Nguyen\u2014and its vegan brunch on Sundays to turn Portfolio Coffeehouse into a full-fledged dining destination.<\/p>\n

And then she had to expand her horizons and move into DTLB, making a space at MADE by Millworks on Pine to serve her famed brunch. It took only a few months before she had to start serving her first dinner. On top of it all, MADE has a full-bar to accommodate the thirsty.<\/p>\n

Kicking off tonight and , the menu is drool-worthy:<\/p>\n

Nguyen\u2019s keen sensibility for high quality vegan food kept vegans and non-vegans alike returning back for signature dishes like stuffed french toast filled with house-made chocolate-hazelnut spread, fresh strawberries, bananas, coconut whip and topped with maple and almonds. Or a breakfast b\u00e1nh m\u00ec filled with tofu, tempeh bacon and ham, pickled veggies, cucumber, cilantro, chile, fried shallots, and a chive-cilantro aioli.<\/p>\n

Her work fits into the larger\u2014and quickly growing\u2014vegan scene in Long Beach: Seabirds<\/a>, Under the Sun<\/a>, The Grain Cafe<\/a>, and the expansion of both Caffeinated Kitchen<\/a> and Nguyen’s own efforts<\/a>\u00a0are all<\/p>\n

MADE by Millworks is located 240 Pine Ave.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
