Hilariously Holy Experience at Good Intentions – Where Tofu Meets the Divine
Let me just say, I walked into Good Intentions thinking I was about to have a light vegan dinner, and instead, I got spiritually awakened by a tahini caesar and an espresso martini that could raise the dead.
This place is like a wellness retreat that also serves cocktails with names like Frankie Goes to Dollywood (which, by the way, tastes like Dolly herself kissed my taste buds with a piña colada). And the Seasonal Slushie? Somewhere between frozen heaven and a buzz that whispers, “you deserve this.”
Now let’s talk food. I had the Kimchi Fried Rice—it came out looking like it had just won “Top Dish at Burning Man,” and tasted like if a fermentation wizard decided to bless your palate with umami enlightenment. The JustEgg scrambled on top was a delicious lie I chose to believe. Also, whoever invented the Kewpie aioli drizzle deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for creamy diplomacy.
My friend got the Cowboy Steak, and we still don’t know what sorcery they used to make lion’s mane mushrooms taste like tender, flame-kissed filet. Somewhere out there, an actual cow is high-fiving a mushroom.
The Skyway Melt deserves a moment of silence. This beyond burger + kimchi + caramelized onion combo had me moaning in public. Yes, there were stares. No, I’m not sorry. If flavor had a personality, this sandwich would be dating your mom.
The cocktails? Masterpieces. I had the Negroni Paradiso and suddenly had the urge to write poetry and invest in crystals. The Goodies Gibson? It made me rethink my entire relationship with vodka and pickled things.
And shout out to the menu’s fine print explaining that there's a kitchen appreciation fee to pay staff a livable wage. What kind of ethically sound utopia have I stumbled into?? I was halfway through my Nashville Hot Tofu when I realized I wasn’t just eating—I was participating in economic justice.
Also: amazing service, candles everywhere, moody lighting, and enough vibey energy to power a Pinterest board for months.
TL;DR: Come for the plant-based power, stay for the Paquita, and leave questioning if you’ve been living wrong all along.
Good Intentions? More like Great Execution.
