PART TIME HALF-ASSED VEGAN NOTES - but cauliflower NEEDS cheese

I've got this Facebook friend who's really involved in charity events at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Fort Lauderdale.  I don't get around Fort Lauderdale that much, but when I saw an Anthony's in Aventura, I decided to stop in.

It was around 3:45-ish and I was invited to sit anywhere I wanted.  First, it's great to work weird hours.  I have my run of just about any restaurant I want with my schedule.

I ordered a red sangria (wait until you see the pic.  You're gonna be so jealous!)  It's full of fruit, so that's pretty vegan.  Off to a great start, right?  You bet!

Then, the star of the show - a specialty pizza.  Remind me to fill you in on a little secret about Anthony's.  Roasted cauliflower with olive oil and garlic, Romano and mozzarella, topped with bread crumbs.  You see from the description that trying to force this delicacy to be vegan would be foolhardy.  Cauliflower NEEDS cheese.

The manager - I'd share a picture, but he's camera shy, and I'd tell you his name, but he's self-described "low key" - wanted me to mention their loyalty program campaign.  Sign up and be entered for a drawing.  The prize is free wings for a whole year, but I thought that was out of place for a Half-Assed Vegan Notes post.

So, right, the secret.  Anthony's lunch menu is until 3:00, but IF YOU ASK FOR IT AT 3:45, THEY'LL STILL GIVE IT TO YOU.  I got that awesome pizza for 10 bucks and change.  Big savings and it'll easily serve 2 people.
