This week is the quietest I have noticed Bangkok's Red Light Districts this year. Before when I heard talk of it being quiet things didn't add up whilst I was out and about, it wasn't quiet it was comfortable. As a customer I found plenty of bargirls in the beer bars and just enough customers to give the bar a bit of an atmosphere. This is a tourists dream come true if they want to have some fun with the ladies.
I could head into a number of go-
It's a different story for the owners of the bars since they want a steady stream of tourists all year round. There is no need whinging about it. With any business you should know times are going to be tough during the low season, therefore you plan ahead accordingly for the whole year. The amount of revenue the bars make during high season if managed correctly should be more than enough to see them through the lean times. If not then they more than likely have a poor bar or they have made a fatal mistake of signing a lease beforehand where the rent is unreasonably high per month.
The best beer bars/go-
This Wednesday night when I arrived Nana Soi 4 (9:45 pm) the first bar I came across was the Morning Night Bar (cool bar) which was doing okay but the next bar Stumble Inn was the quietest I have ever seen this bar. All I saw was bargirls and waitresses standing/sitting around. At BigDogs you could get the best seats to hangout and people watch your night away. K&S Bar was quiet, even Hooters looked down on numbers. The Tiki Bar which is positioned well as you enter Nana Plaza had enough customers inside due to their location.
The Nana Beer Garden was super quiet yet Bangkok Bunnies outside bar was busy. You will notice a familiar theme going on here and that is, the better bars are doing okay during low season and the rest are not. I headed up to Billboard who have a new neon sign (looks good). I went inside for about an hour, of course they are busy. The women in the Jacuzzi are in fine form tonight with plenty of energy and looked very erotic. I don't know how any single guys can hack it without barfining one of them? After watching the show you can't tell me you just go home and sleep….FFS.
I do like a construction site and so do women. Well that's what it seems like at Jail Birdz who are going through some major renovations just now. Not to worry this bar is alive. The dancers are having a great time dancing on tables, in the Jacuzzi and on the main dance floor……. I'm talking about getting down and having a good time. If you're at Nana Plaza then do yourself a favor and head on in.
There is a good time to be had at Nana Plaza you just got to know where to go. Stick your head in and do a runner if no ones inside since you might be just one bar away from having a good time. As I mentioned last week about the ladyboys and the groin grabbing well it happened again this time whilst passing Charades Ladyboy Bar. I don't think this is a tactic that works. It isn't going to turn some guy gay enough to go party with some ladyboys.
You really know it's quiet when you walk through Soi Cowboy and the Tilac Bar have people trying to entice tourists into their bar. I have never come across that in the past. The bars that leave you alone as you pass are Sam's 2000 Bar, Cactus Bar, Shadow Bar, Shark Bar, Baccara and Tilac (now 99%).
If you like tattoos well how cool is this back tattoo on one of the dancers (pic) at the Lighthouse gogo bar. If tattoos aren't your cup of tea well she has a smoking hot body as do more than a few dancers at the Lighthouse.
Soi Cowboy seemed a bit lopsided this Wednesday night looking at the outside bars. Several bars were defiantly on the very quiet side eg: Tilac Bar, Afterskool Bar, Cactus Bar and Fanny's Bar. The busy bars really stood out tonight. One bar in particular was a big surprise and that is the Five Star Bar. I noticed they had a mix of regular women and a handful of ladyboys out front. This tactic seems to work for them.
I got irked once whilst walking through Soi Cowboy past the Dundee Bar, which I had intended to go on in one day soon. A bargirl out front tried to entice me inside but I just told her 'not tonight'. What I got back was an instant transformation into a hardened bargirl that you wouldn't want to spend more than .0001 of a second of your time with.
Bargirls like this do more harm than good for their respective bars. If she was polite then next time people might think about going in for a drink, but not now. All I thought when I walked away was 'well I'm not going in there anytime soon'.
I found a major traffic jam between the Midnite Bar and the Sahara gogo bar who both had their fair share of gogo dancers and ladyboys out front. The ladyboys at these bars do look a lot more feminine than what I am seeing at Nana Plaza lately. It does help that they are wearing a dress and not a bikini. Where more often than not you will see a sack of potatoes hanging out the rear. Yeah choke on that.
Nearing midnight if you use the Skytrain a decision has to be made where do you want to spend the rest of your night. Hit Patpong, Nahh not when it's quiet like tonight. If it was around 10 pm at least you would have an exit strategy without having to use a taxi. Patpong is one place that can feel a bit boring if quiet, especially Soi 2.
If I'm at either Soi Cowboy or Nana Plaza then I will usually pick one of my favorite bars and stick with them, rather than go hunting for a good time. Tonight the best option is go home. I've done what I came to do. Job Done.

• To raise funds to improve the quality and safety in Greece's makeshift tent camps.
• To administer goods and education for maternity care, family wellbeing and the education of youth.
• To see our world's leaders commit to immediate effective policy that will enable asylum seekers residing in inadequate refugee camps throughout Greece to receive essential respect, support and advancement toward a secure future.
• To do good, as Lesvos Refugee Project/ArtLife Society, in a world that doesn't always make sense.
Proactiva Open Arms Lifeguards bringing lives to safety daily.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The recent EU-Turkey agreements have made significant changes in the refugee crisis situation. The situation is uncertain, the ramifications of the new agreement yet to be determined. However, as of this writing, September 2016, refugee boat arrivals to the islands is once again increasing. Thousands of asylum seekers are stuck 'in limbo' in numerous refugee camps throughout Greece. The Lesvos Refugee Project continues with it's mission statement.
The Lesvos Refugee Project was created in August 2015 when the need was urgent for international volunteers and support groups to form, in the absence of the world-at-large making a viable relief plan.
Since that time, with generous donations, the LRP has worked with volunteer teams on Lesvos and throughout Greece providing emergency supplies to keep refugees alive and safe upon their arrival and while they apply for asylum.
100% of donations have applied towards this effort. The Lesvos Refugee Project is a focus of ArtLife Society, a recognized 501.c3 charitable organization based in Iowa, USA. All donations are tax deductible. View chart of Lesvos Refugee Project "Usage of Donation Monies" HERE.
Supplies are purchased in Greece, thereby stimulating the Greek economy, and sent directly to humanitarian efforts on Lesvos and refugee camps throughout Greece. By keeping routine communication with reliable contacts, accurate supply needs can be assessed, ordered and dispersed quickly.

Went for dinner with my boyfriend and we both had pizza. They have many choices and at least the ones we had were really delicious.
Very cheap prices compared to other restaurants in the area.
Went twice in 3 days. Very friendly staff and a "locals" feel that made a big difference. Loved it. Good prices and cheap wine. Fast service, call to book just in case.
Cozy place. A large assortment. Good prices. We ordered 4 different pizzas. All were delicious.👍👍👍👍👌👌
Great pizza for a good price :) the best one we had while being in italy for a few weeks. The atmosphere is relaxed and the employers were very friendly. This is definitly the best place for pizza in this city
This is a family owned and operated pizzeria. They have a very big variety of delicious pizzas. Portions are big and the prices very good. The place is always full, many locals. Service is very good.
Very nice and cozy pizzeria. I'd say it is very popular between locals to spend there an evening or to take-away pizza. All meals we ordered were perfect: pizzas, salat, coffee and tiramisu. Worth to find it and take a rest here.
Try the farina. Very tasty and nice local atmosphere. Recommend to all..
Good very good. Huge portions
We loved Capilinea so much the first time we had dinner there that we went back the following night. The farinata with pesto was delicious, and the 4 of us all tried different pizzas and no one was disappointed. The service was very friendly (even though none of us spoke a word of Italian), and the wine was great. I'm...
I was here with my husband and we wanted to eat a real pizza italiana ,a werry nice staff and the pizza was great thank you very much !
Great pizza. Tasty , fast service, friendly staff. Only quite distant from the citu center. The pizzeria was near our accommodation, it was a good choice to eat cheap. We usually took the pizza up to B&b.

Transmission and distribution systems are essential to route power from generation to consumers. The mode of transport is generally via overhead lines, which must have maximum in-service availability. The exposed nature of lines make them fault-prone, and protection devices must trip to initiate isolation of any faulted circuit.
The MiCOMho provides fast, highly selective protection, totrip for genuine line faults. Advanced load blinding anddisturbance detection techniques - such as power swingblocking - ensure stability when no tripping is required.

Part of international chain of vegan restaurants inspired by Supreme Master Ching Hai, an advocate for veg living. Serves vegan food and non-alcoholic beverages. Bright, modern Asian decor with windows. Has parking. Open Mon-Thu 11:00am-3:00pm, Mon-Thu 5:00pm-9:00pm, Fri-Sun 11:00am-9:00pm.
Category: Vegan, American, Fast food, Take-out, Asian, Vietnamese
Reviews (43)First Review by Vegan Gal
I like this place - Edit
Vegan asian food. Moderately priced and all vegan. My omni sister loves the pho here and likes it better than most other places in Houston. I like the pho but personally prefer it without the soy protein beef. The flavor of the beef is there but the texture is nothing like real beef and turns me off a bit. Vermicelli bowl is pretty good but a little bland.
As an appetizer, I recommend the golden rolls. I ordered a chocolate cake which was just okay - too much coconut flavor for me. Also got an Iced Mumbai Tea which is spicier than other ones I've tried. Not the best, I will try the thai tea next time.
A lot of things are hit and miss but if you want somewhere to go without worrying about what's vegan and what's not, try this place out. Nothing is particularly amazing or stands out but it is worth a visit. I should mention they have vegan "propaganda" pasted everywhere. Not bad but may be weird to some.
Check out groupon because they usually have a deal on there.
Updated from previous review on 2016-06-13
Pros: Nice staff, Groupon
Delicious!! - Edit
I wish I lived closer to this place because the food is amazing & it's not extremely expensive, I love the vegan facts they have posted around the restaurant & the staff is friendly too, the chocolate cake is my favorite here
Pros: Amazing food
Cons: Remote
All vegan, very tasty - Edit
I would come to Loving Hut at least once a week when I worked in west Houston. Since then, it is too far me to travel. I really enjoy the Saigon Crispy tofu, Noble Broccoli, BBQ Vermicelli bowl. Their "American" section of the menu is not as good as their other options. Tasty, fast, inexpensive...but sometimes greasy/unhealthy.
Pros: Fast, Inexpensive, Excellent food
great variety - Edit
One of my favorite spots! They have such a variety from burgers to soups to sweet and sour Asian dishes
Awesome - Edit
This food is amazing and reasonably priced. I wish one would open nearer to Katy.
Good - Edit
It was good. I don't like how the meals are laid out. I wish the "meat" came on the rice instead of having to order both. It was still very good and I liked the layout of the place. I didn't like that none of the tables were clean when we were there. Literally every table had old food and plates left behind and we had to wait. Other than that it was good
Love Loving Hut - Edit
I'd eat here daily if it weren't more than 40 miles each way from my home, through heavy traffic. 100% vegan, pleasant atmosphere, soothing decor... Delicious, filling, well seasoned food complimented by friendly, knowledgeable staff. Part of the international chain of Loving Huts, I seek them out while traveling and have never been disappointed.
Still Houston location is my favorite; you always remember your first, right?
Features daily lunch specials, Monday-Thursday, 11am-3pm, rotating among menu items, for less than $10.
Extensive menu of vegan options. Uses non-gmo soy. Many dishes can be made soy free. Hot and cold beverages, mock-tails.
Desserts include a silky vegan flan, various cakes: banana, chocolate, carrot and cheese cake.
My favorites: Arigato sushi, spring rolls, barbeque rolls, guru fried rice & their signature Spicy Cha Cha.
Each Loving Hut has slightly different menu, & standards might be a little differently spiced depending on location. Still, good food, good people, good service, good prices..
Pros: 100% vegan, Inexpensive, Knowledgeable friendly staff
Cons: Distance from my home, Busy street
Delicious food - Edit
This restaurant is completely vegan. It has a nice atmosphere. So far none of the dishes that I have tried have NOT disappointed. Keep in mind some of the items have quite a bit of oil. Nonetheless they do include plenty of veggies. I'm not a big fan of mock meet but this place prepare did very well. Their drinks are great, my favorite is the Thai tea.
Pros: Vegan, Cruelty free
Great Food - Edit
GreatFood, love the BBQ sandwich, it is Bahn Mi style. Also love the the fried rice and papaya salad.
Pros: Good Food , Friendly Staff
Love this place! - Edit
This place is delicious. It was the first vegan restraint I went to so I was overwhelmed with options! So many good things to choose from :)
I HIGHLY recommend the Hawaiian hibiscus tea, the wontons and the BBQ burger.(More like a teriyaki burger but the pineapple and mushroom... delicious!) But you really can't go wrong.
Good variety and tasty dishes! - Edit
The menu here is pretty varied and has a great value. There is something for everyone and I haven't had a bad dish yet. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is laid back and relaxing.
The last time we were here, a friend got the curry and it came out in a huge bowl! The chow mein and spicy kung pao are pretty yummy. Can't wait to try more dishes.
Pros: Good Variety, Great Value, Friendly Atmosphere
awesome Chinese dishes! - Edit
We got 3 or 4 different Chinese-style dishes with tofu and vegetables, and they were all really good. The sweet and sour tofu was the best I've had anywhere and seemed a lot healthier than at a typical Chinese restaurant. They also have surprisingly good desserts. Plus, they are VEGAN!
Pros: vegan, sweet and sour tofu, desserts
Cons: really far from downtown Houston
Disappointed - Edit
We have been to several Loving Huts in Asia and Europe. Two weeks ago, we went to the one in Dallas and we loved it. So now that we are in Houston visiting my aunt, we went there with her (she is not a vegetarian nor a vegan).
In this restaurant, you have to go to the counter to order, which is different from all the Loving Huts we have been to. We ordered 4 dishes (all Asian food, also with faux meat). They were all not that great or tasty. Not at all comparable with the Dallas place. We were very disappointed, especially as we took my aunt there to show her vegan food.
Pros: All vegan , Parking
Cons: Food not tasty, No real service
Tasty Food - Edit
We have been to Loving Hut several times and have enjoyed it each time. This was one of the many vegan restaurants we frequented this summer with our kids. We especially enjoyed the Hawaiian burger and the pho soup. Also, the vegetable chow foon noodle dish was very tasty. I don't like the fake meats so much, but the flavors are very good. We highly recommend it.
Pros: Tasty, Fresh, Many Options
Cons: Only One In Houston
Incredible good soy meats - Edit
My husband I are vegan and this place is close to our offices. We go there at least once a week for lunch. The restaurant is all vegan and very eco-friendly. I like that they try to minimize their footprint. They are really good in their soy meats.
I love the food there, but I would call it 'comfort food'. Health wise I might not be able to survive eating here on a daily basis, since the base of the dishes are not too rich in vegetables, grains or beans. I think I must have tried every dish on the menu by now and all of them taste very good to me. Even carnivore friends are willing to join us for lunch here once in a while.
I like that they offer fresh pressed juices and brown rice. Since the management changed this year (2013), the service is much faster. That was previously a reason for us not being able to make it over lunch. Currently it is not a problem at all.
This restaurant belongs to a chain and they play some obscure speeches of the 'supreme master'on TV all the time. I find that rather weird, but I do not have to pay attention to it and it's all good.
Food wise and service wise, this place has always been excellent.
Pros: great fake meat replacements, eco-friendly, very friendly staff
Cons: could have more healthy foods, could offer more than just soy milk
simple and clean - Edit
Was traveling through Houston and this popped up.
It's very clean, no traffic and has a bright atmosphere.
I ordered the Rainbow Salad which looked great on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the description or the picture. It's mostly iceberg lettuce with a small amount of the other ingredients (red cabbage, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, bell pepper, carrots) mixed together with a soy patty on top.
The Golden Wanton appetizer was tasty, but on their own (skip the sauce).
It seems like they specialize in soy meats (which fill the menu), which is great, but not if you are looking to keep it light.
I'll try it again, but wouldn't recommend it until then.
Pros: clean, alt-meats
Cons: no light dishes
Devine - Edit
I am enjoying another wonderful meal. I love that everything is vegan and I don't have to make special request. Thanks Loving Hut!!
Pros: taste, vegan, friendly
Underwhelming - Edit
This restaurant is very overrated: portions are small, and service is excruciatingly slow. Indeed, the second time I went, some customers asked for their money back because they waited so long. As for the food, it's OK but not great, and the portions are on the small side.
I really wanted to like the place but just couldn't.
Updated from previous review on Sunday April 21, 2013
Pros: Clean, Good Decor
Cons: Service, Portions
Eh. - Edit
Such a clean big place, but WAY outside of Houston (which is a con for me, since I live in the loop). We ordered a dumpling appetizer, and while the dumplings were tasty, three were hot and two were freezing, making me believe they had been frozen and reheated. My dish was soaked in soy sauce - so salty I couldn't eat it. I wouldn't go back, unless I was nearby.
Pros: All vegan, Very eco-conscious , Nice interior
Cons: Far out of Houston, Food quality just okay
Loving Hut Restaurant Review - Edit
My husband and I went today for our 25th wedding anniversary. Since we are new to being vegetarian, I suggested to go to Loving Hut vegan restaurant. This restaurant is in West Houston. It is in a safe environment near West Houston Hospital, Walmart, Lowes, HEB and Whole Foods in the vicinity. Once you enter the casual, clean restaurant, you go to the counter to order and pay. They will help you choose which menus are customer's favorite. My husband ordered Seaweed Ocean that looked and tasted like a delicious grilled fish. I ordered Golden Beauty. It tasted like crispy, spicy chicken nuggets. It tasted better than the real chicken nuggets. For drinks and dessert, I had the Ice Mumbai Tea and carrot cake since the silk plan cake was out. The carrot cake was OK but the Ice Mumbai tea was so delicious that I will order 2 glasses next time I go there. My husband ordered banana cake and Happy Go Lucky. His banana cake was also OK but his drink was emptied quickly too because he liked it. Please use bigger and real glass for the drinks. The glass will make the drinks taste better. We will be back to eat and drink. The place is clean and casual, the staff are polite and the service was quick. Best of all, the menu selections are healthy and affordable. Thank you for serving Houston a vegan restaurant.
Mrs. Cook

Friendly Customer Service & Food - Edit
Loving Hut has a very nice atmosphere and a warm home-like feeling. I kept my order light and only got the golden nuggets and the banana fritters. Both were delicious by the way. The lady who took my order was very sweet and even held a brief conversation with me about my transition to the vegan lifestyle. Loving Hut has a very appealing menu, so of course I'll be back soon!
Pros: Atmosphere, Prices, Desserts
My favorite place to eat - Edit
The best Vegan restaurant in Houston that I have been to. Diverse menu and run by the nicest people you will ever meet. The food here is superb and eating here is for a good cause, our planet's survival. What else could you want! The BBQ sandwich could fool a lot of people if they didn't know it wasn't meat. Their eggplant dish is simply wonderful. I also love the Guru Fried Rice (curried rice) and the Hot Mumbai Spice Tea. Loving Hut is a chain sponsored by a Buddhist master teacher Ching Hai who explains how many of the world's ills can be remedied through being vegan. The food here is superb and eating here is for a good cause, our planet's survival.
Pros: Excellent Food, Pleasant Environment, Decent Value
Cons: Location a bit remote
Love Loving Hut! - Edit
Great food, desserts, & drinks. My family went and brought food back. It's very clean and earthy and the people who work there are friendly. It's fast food and they do take-out. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. I'm happy seeing Loving Hut expand to over 100 locations worldwide and extra happy Loving Hut came to Houston!
We ordered:
Exquisite Curry
SAVE-PLANET Curry
Fabulous Pho/Bun Bo Hue
Silky Flan
Pink Lady
Wonton Harmony
Golden Wonton
Guru Fried Rice
Seaweed Ocean
We absolutely loved everything. Especially Exquisite Curry, SAVE-PLANET Curry, Fabulous Pho, Silky Flan, Wonton Harmony, & Seaweed Ocean.
It's pricey but they give you a lot of food. We eat here frequently, and you would love it and eat here frequently too!

Pros: good location, excellent vegan foods, friendly staff
Cons: not much selections of soups, value could be better, no booze
Friendly people and good food - Edit
Great Asian vegan food for a very good price. The staff is really friendly and do their utmost to serve full vegan food. The Vietnamese spring rolls and the lemon cake are my favorites. I will keep going there and support the Loving Hut!
Pros: friendly staff
Cons: location
Fantastic food for a chain - Edit
This restaurant has high-quality, affordable food that is delicious and happens to be vegan.
Although part of a chain, Loving Hut is contributing to filling Houston's need for vegan food. They have given generously at Houston's first VegFest (11 June, 2011).
Pros: Great food!, Good prices, Active in Vegan Scene
Cons: Location, Houston's ped/bus travel is poor.

Good Food, Clean, Good Value - Edit
A welcome addition to Houston, Loving Hut serves up some tasty vegan food at a good value (and for those 2.5 of you who say it's not, I'd like you to point me to the cheaper good vegan food). Although the location could be much better (it's waaay out there for those of us who live in central Houston), it's worth the drive to try it. My favorites are the Golden Beauty, a spicy, crispy-fried dish of fake meat for people like me who love heat, the Golden Vermicelli, a delicious rice noodle bowl, the Golden Wontons (hey, noticing a pattern here? I'm obviously fond of everything on the menu that's 'golden'), the Wonton Soup (a large, meal-size bowl, so don't order it as an appetizer), and the combo dishes with stir-fry veggies, rice, fake meats, and varying sides. The cleanliness here is impressive, but I wish they would turn off the two (count em',TWO!) televisions here, and take down the veg celebrity posters (minor complaints, though).
Update: Unfortunately, due to my last experience at loving Hut, I'm taking away a star. This time the food was cold and the stir-fry vegetables were still frozen. The Golden Beauty was completely different from what it was before, and it's not a good change. I'll give them another chance, and perhaps I'll give the star back if this was simply a one-day fluke.

Pros: good food, ample parking, good value
Cons: location, t.v.
Quiet, fast, clean, vegan, and delicious. - Edit
Truly can't describe my surprise to this undiscovered gem. There's something for everyone's taste (vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike) with its many very affordable and delicious vegan menu choices. The quick service allows plenty of time for a nice meal and chats, all within the workday lunch hour.
Pros: Fast, Delicious, Clean
excellent - Edit
quick, clean, affordable, great service, and most importantly- fantastic and wholesome vegan food. Menu contains wide variety of dishes, appetizers, drinks, and desserts, and all the food is exceptionally well flavored and interesting
Pros: good service, quick, great food
Yummy vegan comfort food - Edit
I felt the food was very tasty, and comforting. The 'fake meat' was really good. EVERYTHING was excellent, and we ordered 8 different things! Very clean and nice.
Pros: Cost, Taste, Variety
Cons: The T.V.s on
Love This Place!!! - Edit
My husband and I live near Hobby Airport (southeast Houston) and drive to Loving Hut about four times a week-- a good 45 minutes to an hour drive, depending on traffic-- it is worth it. The jasmine tea alone is worth it. The food is out of this world and the prices are amazingly cheap, especially for the huge portion sizes. Hubby is addicted to the Loving Hut burger and my favourite is the Exquisite Curry... so much so that I get one for there AND always order one to go as well. It is so big that just one portion of that curry will last me 3 meals. I can't even finish the one I get to eat there-- I can only eat about a third of it, I take the rest of that one home with me, too... The ambiance of the restaurant is so calming, it's like a getaway for us... a great way to unwind after a long day. We even go to Loving Hut to order our holiday meals. Couldn't go a week without at least a few visits to decompress. The staff are wonderful, ambiance is serene. Definitely worth the drive for us.
Pros: extremely inexpensive, huge portions, serene environment
What eat out vegans have been waiting for - Edit
We here in Houston are fortunate to have a number of vegan/vegan friendly restaurants to patronize even though it take a lot of driving to get to most from downtown. Loving Hut is at the top of my list of vegan restaurants to visit out of the inner city loop (although I haven't been to Quan Yin lately which I've enjoyed as well...)
Today I had a new offering - the Spicy Soup (Bun-Hue). It is perfectly spicy/hot and the flavor is both different and delicious.
I tend to forget about eating at the other vegan places when I am in S.W. Houston because I like the Loving Hut a lot. The drawback (for me) with most of the vegan restaurants (including Loving Hut)is location. I would patronize the Loving Hut much more if it was inside the loop.

Pros: excellent food, healthy cuisine, very clean
Cons: location in Houston
OMG Good - Edit
I have been a handful of times to Loving Hut - I'd go more often if they were on my side of town! Everything I have ever ordered has been wonderful! I've tried appetizers, main dishes and smoothies and would order each and every one again. The food is pure delight.
Good Food, Nothing Spectacular - Edit
The food here is always good, but not great and it comes out whenever it's ready; appetizers after main course, etc. I've tried at least eight of the dishes and most of the appetizers and nothing stands out as great enough to make me want to make the 20+ minute drive from central Houston. Actually the only great thing I've had there is the specialty drinks which are AMAZING! Everything else has a bit of a generic feel to it. I was particularly dissapointed with the burger and the fact that they used what tasted like store bought white bread buns. It is really nice to know that everything is vegan and I'll continue to support it from time to time, but if I'm driving out that far, I'd much rather just go to Quan Yin.
Pros: All Vegan, Good Food
Cons: Meh..., appetizers come out with main coarse
Clean, good food. - Edit
This cafe is very bright and clean. You order at the counter and our food came out very quickly. It's mostly Asian style food. I got the Sweet & Sour Divine, which was as I thought it would be....an orangey Chinese sauce with breaded tofu and vegetables. It was good though. My husband got the curry which was really liquidy and not enough vegetables, but pretty good. We shared the Spring Roll appetizer which was absolutely delicious!! Would definitely get that again. The apple/carrot juice was really good too.
Pros: comfortable seating, quick service, decent food
Clean, bright, tasty vegan - Edit
Finally, a 100% vegan restaurant in west Houston! My first visit, but I will return often. The cafe is super-clean and bright, very tastefully decorated and inviting. Even the bathrooms sparkle. The food is well prepared and presented. I had the "Delectable Eggplant" which was perfectly cooked and sauced. One quibble - you have to buy the rice separately, so it is not as good a value as many of the nearby Chinatown vegetarian selections. Also many nearby Indian vegetarian buffets cost no more than a single Indian dish here. But that said - it's still not terrible; the entrees range from 5.99 - 7.95. My companions chose the "Family Bean Curd" and "Chow Mein" which were identical, except for the noodles in the latter. They were good, but not spectacular. I am still excited to try other selections on upcoming visits, because the cafe has a very pleasant ambience and it's hard to find vegan restaurants without driving into town for us west Houston residents. The specialty drinks were outstanding! I had "Happy Go Lucky," a really superior lemonade, with lime zest and rose petals. This is a nice chain. Hope they find a niche here.
Pros: healthy cuisine, great drinks, vegan
Cons: value could be better
We're in love with loving hut - Edit
When you first enter Loving Hut you grab a menu, find a seat, look over the many lovingly prepared and pictured items and try your hardest to narrow it down to one entrée. After you choose you order at the counter and you meal is brought to your table. We were a table of 5 and we each ordered our own entrée, a couple of drinks, and the total bill came to just under $50. What a deal!!
I had the Sweet and Sour soy based protein. The pineapple and veggies were very fresh and lightly cooked so you can still enjoy their crispness. My SO had a combo w/ entrée rice salad and soup that he enjoyed throughly. Another diner with us had the Pho, which he raved about.
The decor is pleasant and inspirational, even to a devout agnostic. There's booth and regular tables to choose from, or if you are feeling more relaxed there was a hand full of comfy looking chairs you could sit at.
My only complaint is that our food did not come out all at once. It wasn't that it was slow. We just would have preferred when a meal was ready to keep it warm under a heat lamp for a few minutes, and then all brought out together so we can eat together.
Definitely a great chain though & I totally wish there was one in Colorado.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, all vegan
Freshly prepared, delicious flavors, clean - Edit
By far, this is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Houston. The staff is extremely kind and accommodating, while making every effort to ensure everything is vegan. Foods are freshly prepared and it shows! Loving Hut has the best vegan burger and they make their buns from scratch. Their elegantly frosted vegan cakes are alone worth a visit with such yummy flavors as chocolate, espresso bean, strawberry shortcake, tropical fruit and the unfrosted banana and carrot cake. Many of the entree flavors are authentic Vietnamese, such as the Bun and Pho dishes. This restaurant also offers non-alcholic vegan "wine". This is part of a national chain of restaurants. First-timers may get distracted by the two TV's airing Supreme Master news, but don't let that keep you away. The tv programming is quite informative and at times mesmerizing. The warm staff, clean atmosphere, superb food and affordable prices will make everyone repeat customers.
Pros: ethically run vegan establishment, extremely friendly staff, best vegan food in Houston
Cons: sometimes loud TV
AMAZING FOOD - Edit
My husband and I ate there for the first time today and LOVED the food. I would easily pay twice as much for each plate I ate which is a testament to the quality and affordability of this place. There are not enough superlatives to properly describe our experience there. Please visit and keep delicious vegan food in Houston
Overrated - Edit
I like the food here but the prices are outrageous!!! Their rather small bowl of "fabulous pho is" over $7 after tax. I am not price sensitive but I feel like I'm overpaying for the same stuff I get from Quan Yin. Also, I don't think they make their own cake. I have seen a lady bring the cakes by Loving Hut the last time I was there. Wonder where the cakes come from??? Wont be a regular!!!
Pros: pretty
Cons: over-priced

Munchi-chi 22 Feb 2013 - Surprised this reviewer had a small bowl of Pho. We were there for lunch yesterday (don't know if its a different size for dinner) and the bowl of Pho was huge! The bowl was seriously 7 inches across and 5 inches deep. $7 for vegan food is cheap were I come from!
gr8d8 22 Feb 2013 - They make everything from scratch at the Loving Hut- they make their own desserts...even their burger buns are made from scratch back there. I wouldn't speculate about someone bringing in a cake. Who knows what the scenario was. Maybe a gift for someone, could be any number of scenarios. Also, their bowls are HUGE. And their prices are very cheap IMHO, especially for vegan food made to order... and made from scratch.
Awesome!! - Edit
My family has been eating at this restaurant faithfully since Nov '09. There was a solid month that we went everyday, we just could not get enough! Our faves: the Pho, Mongolia Wonder, the vermicilli with golden rolls, the sushi rolls, their Happy Go Lucky drink, the list goes on! You will not be disappointed.
Pros: delicious food, clean, open 7 days
Cons: only one location in Houston
The BEST vegan food in Houston! - Edit
I studied their online menu & called in a carry-out order. I ordered: Golden Rolls, Golden Wontons, Loving Hut Burger, Golden Beauty, & Sweet & Sour Divine. I hadn't had wontons since I was about 7 or 8 years old, so I didn't know what to expect, but what an excellent choice! Served with sweet & sour sauce, the wontons were perfectly crisp, delicious, & they left me longing for more! The Golden rolls were good as well. The Sweet&Sour Divine & the Golden Beauty were both bursting with flavor. The portions were big too! Definitely enough to either share or save some for leftovers. The omnis couldn't stay away from my plates! The burger? It was easily one of the best veggie burgers that I have ever tasted. EVER. A pleasantly unique combination for a burger... I couldn't get enough! I can not wait to get back to this awesome vegan establishment!
Pros: clean and spacious, excellent value; large portions, delicious vegan food
I'm loving Loving Hut! - Edit
The owners and staff truly are loving, compassionate and friendly! The service could not be better. The food is tasty and healthy, the portion sizes are just right and the prices are very affordable. It's such a treat to have so many vegan menu choices at one place and am looking forward to trying them all!
Golden Experience - Edit
Shining like a gleaming beacon on the dark, stormy evening that I first visited Loving Hut on my own. I had been there for the festive ribbon-cutting ceremony, enjoying the merriment of the balloons, cake and sparkling cider. But this dark evening that my vehicle swam through the flooding streets of a Texas down-pour, I was cheerily welcomed by the glowing bright colors of the Loving Hut corner cafe shining out of the darkness. Welcomed inside by the serene staff that share my commitment to veganism, and can answer any questions proudly about their ingredients and thoughtfully prepared offerings, I settled down for a warming and delicious grand bowl of Wonton Harmony soup. The most savory and delicious un-chicken broth that I have ever tasted was accompanied by tasty homemade wontons, fresh veggies, appealing soy-protein slices and noodles. I cleaned my palate with one of their refreshing Cool Beverages with the pleasing title of "Happy Go Lucky." An astonishingly flavorful blend of lemon juice, fresh lime zest and lime, rose essence and decorated with real rose petals in an elegant beverage glass. I sipped it slowly to fully enjoy the many flavors while admiring the glittering and tasteful gold mini-tile flourishes and the opulent yet casual decor. Next course - Golden Beauty. So delicious... my favorite so far. Crispy addictive not-chicken strips served on a flavorful and spicy bed of lettuce and fresh veggies. Mmmm. I finished the meal with delicious sweet and creamy vegan Silken Flan. SO amazingly good... I ordered a second along with a warming Lovely Cappuccino, before heading back out to the chilly rain-washed streets. Of course vegan/ non-dairy and sprinkled with more shredded rose petals... so elegant and tasty.
On a sunny afternoon I visited once again for the startling scrumptious Loving Hut Burger. So succulently comprised of high quality ingredients and veggies including teriyaki sauce and a slice of pineapple that push it over the top. Their specialty burger is a MUST TRY. Indulged in another cool beverage... this time Sunny Forest - orange juice, mint sparkling water and zesty petal - a real work of art that must be sipped for full appreciation. This time tried recommended dish Spicy Cha Cha. Similar to Golden Beauty as also served on the delicious bed of lettuce and freshies with a spicy sauce, but catering to former seafood lovers. Spicy Cha Cha simulates deep batter fried un-shrimp with a phenomenal flavor. I will be a regular here.
Pros: lovely kind staff, beautiful and clean, supports vegan efforts globally
Cons: distance from town, avoid "Sea of Love" appetizer, no booze

A father who lost his entire family in a house fire today issued a fresh appeal for witnesses to help him understand the tragedy, as police revealed the property was burgled on the night of the blaze.
Dr Abdul Shakoor's wife Dr Sabah Usmani and sons Sohaib, 11, and Rayyan, six, and daughter Hira, 13, died in Barn Mead, Harlow, Essex, with a third son, Muneeb, nine, and a second daughter, Maheen, three, dying later in hospital.
Essex Police said today they believe there was a burglary at the property on the night of the fire after the family had gone to bed and before the blaze was discovered.
Investigators originally suspected the fire on October 15 was an arson attack but no accelerant has so far been found at the scene.
Dr Shakoor, the conflagration's sole survivor, today read a statement imploring anyone with information to help provide answers to the questions that remain.
Unable to fight back tears, he said: "I do not understand why my little children who were so happy and full of life, who had so much to live for, are no longer here.
"I ask from my heart that anyone with information comes forward to help, so that I may understand the tragedy that has so befallen my beautiful family.
"Even a small piece of information may make a difference and, however difficult it may be, I ask anyone who knows what happened, to do the right thing, to come forward and to talk to the police."
Detective Superintendent Rob Vinson, the senior investigating officer on the case, said that police think that several items including a laptop were removed from the house on the night of the fire.
He said: "Our inquiries have revealed that in Harlow during the same evening and early morning there were two other unsuccessful attempts to break in to other properties and one where entry was gained but the suspect was disturbed and nothing was taken."
"How these incidents relate to the current investigation is ongoing."
Police are searching for Dr Shakoor's black Toshiba Satellite laptop, which was in the lounge when he went to bed that evening.
Det Supt Vinson said he was keen to speak to a teenage boy of around 15 or 16 and a slim girl in a school uniform who were seen throwing Dr Shakoor's laptop bag away near garages in Whitewaits, Harlow.
The bag was found on October 26 containing personal papers and a laptop lead.
Officers also want to talk with a group of teenage boys wearing tracksuits and baseball caps and two teenagers on pedal bikes who were seen in Barn Mead during the early hours of October 15.
Assistant Chief Constable Gary Beautridge, head of Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said that the investigation had so far been unable to identify the cause of the house blaze.
He said: "Scientists have been sifting through the remains and have confirmed that to date there is no evidence of a flammable liquid being used."
"It is however, important to emphasise that detailed forensic testing remains ongoing."
On the same night of the fire at Dr Shakoor's home, a neighbour's car was torched in Barn Mead and that incident is still being investigated as arson.
Anyone with information which might assist the investigation is asked to call police on 0800 0560 944.

Slinger, Wis., June 26—Still feeling the effects of bruised ribs suffered in a hard crash a little over a week ago, Dennis Prunty toughed out his third super late model feature victory of the season Sunday night in the second round of the Pepsi Challenge Series at the Slinger Super Speedway.
"They're still sore," Prunty told the crowd from victory lane, "I was trying to take it easy and not get into any altercations out there." "I wasn't sure I wanted to race again," Prunty continued, describing the thought process of returning to the seat so soon after the crash, "I just thought I would get in the car and take a few laps and see how it goes. I guess I still want to race."
John DeAngelis Jr. and Mitch McGrath made up the front row at the start of the 60-lap main event and the inside lane advanced quickly as DeAngelis charged to the lead while third place starter Alex Prunty settled into second, leaving McGrath to battle with Grant Griesbach and Brad Mueller for third. DeAngelis paced the opening four laps before Alex Prunty was able to duck inside to take the the top spot as behind them, Dennis Prunty began to slice his way forward through the field. Dennis Prunty used the outside lane to pass by Griesbach and then dove to the inside to get around McGrath before pressuring Mueller for third while Alex Prunty continued to lead over DeAngelis. Dennis Prunty then swept to the inside of Brad Mueller for third place and a few lap later worked the inside again to snag second from DeAngelis. A half spin off turn four by Grant Griesbach on lap 16 drew the first caution flag with Alex Prunty leading over Dennis Prunty, DeAngelis, Mueller, and McGrath. Alex Prunty chose the outside lane for the restart and Dennis Prunty took to the low lane as racing resumed and the two fought alongside each other for the lead. Dennis Prunty's car turned very well and found grip off the turns which was enough to propel him into the lead off turn two as DeAngelis tried to fill the gap on the inside and challenge Alex Prunty for second. Alex Prunty eventually prevailed over DeAngelis for second but their side by side battle allowed Dennis Prunty to edge away a bit. Behind the top three, last week's feature winner Chris Blawat and defending track champion Steve Apel joined Mueller and McGrath in a race over the fourth spot. The second caution of the event appeared on lap 31 when Duke Long's car went for a spin off turn two while racing with Rob Braun. Braun took the blame for the incident and "tapped out" allowing Long to regain his spot as the field lined up for a restart. This time, Dennis Prunty chose the outside and left the inside lane for Alex Prunty and as the green flag waved, Dennis raced into the lead while Alex had his hands full with DeAngelis and Blawat for third. Blawat was the driver on the move in the second half of the race as he used the outside to bypass both DeAngelis and Alex Prunty to advance to second place attempt to track down Dennis Prunty for the lead. The best battle on the speedway in the closing laps was over the fifth position between Mitch McGrath and Steve Apel as Apel handily worked over McGrath's rear bumper. Dennis Prunty would not be denied in the waning circuits and he drove to his third super late model feature win of the season while Blawat had to settle for a strong second place run the checkered flag. Alex Prunty finished a solid third and John DeAngelis was fourth while Steve Apel won the battle with Mitch McGrath to finish fifth. Brad Mueller crossed the finish line in seventh ahead of Nick Wagner and Ryan DeStefano in eighth and ninth respectively while Duke Long finished tenth.
James Swan won the 30-lap super late model semi-feature as Lowell Bennett, Fred Winn, and Jerry Mueller rounded out the top four finishers who all advanced to the main event. Dalton Zehr finished fifth ahead of Jerry Eckhardt in sixth. Super late model heat races were won by Dalton Zehr, Ryan DeStefano, and Brad Mueller and Chris Blawat was the fastest qualifier after posting a lap in 11.344 seconds.
Ryan Farrell captured his first late model feature win of the season as he drove the Schley Motorsports machine to victory lane in the 40-lap main event.
Farrell quickly established himself as the leader at the drop of the green flag over Justin Poenitsch and Ryan Gutknecht with Al Stippich and Steven Schulz close behind. The one and only caution flag of the race waved on lap eight when Jordan DeVoy and Tyler James became tangled up in turn one. Farrell maintained the lead on the restart over Gutknecht while Justin Poenitsch and Mike Held raced hard for third. Contact between Poenitsch and Held in turn three resulted in Held exiting the speedway while Kyle Chwala and Steve Schulz joined the front runners. Chwala and Schulz worked their way into second and third place respectively in the closing laps but they had nothing for Ryan Farrell who drove to his first late model feature victory of the season. Chwala finished in second place while Schulz was third while Gutknecht and Poenitsch rounded out the top five finishers. Late model races were won by R.J. Braun and Al Stippich while Jordan DeVoy set fast time at 12.294 seconds.
Paul Wagner took the lead at the halfway point of the 30-lap Area Sportsman feature and charged to the victory over Jacob Schraufnagel and Scott Hoeft. Brad Hetzel and Joe Shelby took the checkered flag in fourth and fifth respectively. Ken Au won the Area Sportsman heat race and Jacob Schraufnagel was the fastest qualifier with lap of 12.993 seconds.
Jakob Hassler captured his third feature win of the season in the 25-lap Slinger Bees main event. Hassler took the lead from Jayden Buckley on lap 16 and drove to the win over Matt Rose, Steve Zoromski, Heather Stark, and Brandon Tackes. The race was put under the red flag on lap six when early leader Dale Kiley-Schaefer lost a wheel while leading and came to a halt near the wall in turn two and was hit hard by Tom Berens. Berens was checked by the ambulance crew on scene for precautionary reasons. Dale Kiley-Schaefer and Jakob Hassler each won a Slinger Bee heat race and Tom Berens set fast time with a lap of 14.560 seconds.
Rick Bruskiewicz won the Figure 8 race over Willy Van Camp and Scott Goetzke. During the intermission Ashley Cridelich was crowned Miss Slinger Speedway for the second consecutive season.

Slinger, Wis., June 19—For the second time in three weeks Chris Blawat found himself in victory lane at the Slinger Super Speedway after the 60-lap super late model feature Sunday night.
"That car was awesome, it's the kind of car you dream of driving, " Blawat told the crowd afterward, "We're having a good year here and we'll take it."
Grant Griesbach and Steve Apel paced the field to the green flag and Apel quickly jumped to the early lead from the outside leaving Griesbach to battle alongside Nick Wagner for second with Chris Blawat and Alex Prunty directly behind them. As Apel began to inch away, Wagner eventually took over the second spot with an outside pass on Griesbach and Blawat followed a few laps later, making a similar move on the high side to move into third. Prunty also worked his way around Griesbach and into fourth while Rob Braun began to challenge the top five as well. Apel maintained his lead while Blawat tracked down Wagner and slipped by on the inside for second just before the first caution flag waved on lap 13 when Duke Long and Mitch McGrath tangled in turn one. Apel chose the outside lane for the restart and as the green flag waved, Blawat was able to stay alongside his door through the turn from the inside groove and was able to wrestle the lead away on lap 15. Apel slid back in line behind Blawat in second while Alex Prunty charged by Wagner on the outside for third. Prunty then tracked down Apel for second and made numerous attempts to maneuver to the inside after Apel's car washed slightly off the turns. Prunty nudged his way alongside off turn two on lap 33 but Apel held him tight from the outside and would not allow Prunty to complete the pass. On lap 36 Prunty once again dove to the inside of Apel entering turn one but as he exited turn two, the upward momentum from Prunty's car combined with Apel turning left to line up the backstretch made for a tight squeeze off the corner and the back end of Prunty's car looped around and he slid down the backstretch as the caution flag waved for the second time. Blawat chose the inside lane for the restart and Apel hung tough from the outside as he barely led the first lap back under green but Blawat was strong as well and he reclaimed the top spot a lap later. Behind the top two, Rob Braun moved into third place as Nick Wagner washed high through turns three and four before eventually looping around to draw the third caution flag on lap 38. Once again Blawat took to the bottom for the restart and Apel again was able to challenge from the top side as racing resumed. Apel again paced the first two laps back under green and just as before Blawat gradually worked the low side to reclaim the lead on lap 39. Rob Braun and Brad Keith began to battle over the third spot while James Swan and Ryan DeStefano joined the top five. Braun prevailed in the battle for third and then tracked down Apel for second, working him over until he was able to race by on the inside. Once into second, Braun began to slice into Blawat's lead as the laps began to click away. Suddenly with three laps to go, Braun dropped his car to the apron and came to a halt in the infield, leaving Blawat with a sizeable lead over Apel and Brad Keith. Blawat charged to his second feature victory in three weeks as Apel finished in the runner up slot for the second consecutive week. Brad Keith finished a strong third while Ryan DeStefano and James Swan rounded out the top five. Fred Winn finished in sixth place and Grant Griesbach was seventh.

Kyle Chwala captured his first career late model feature victory in the 40-lap main event.
Al Stippich and Ryan Gutknecht led the field to the green flag and Stippich used the inside line to take the early lead over Gutknecht while Tyler James and Kyle Chwala raced for third with Mike Meyerhofer, Ryan Farrell, Mike Held, and Jordan DeVoy close behind. Chwala first tried the outside lane then dove to the inside a few laps later to take second place from Gutknecht while the rest of the frontrunners remained side by side behind them. Chwala then tracked down Stippich and pressured him heavily for the lead as a spin by Zach Braun in turn four produced the caution flag on lap 23. Stippich chose the inside lane for the restart with Chwala moving to the outside and as racing resumed, Chwala was able to keep even with Stippich as they decided the top spot racing door to door. Stippich had a difficult time keeping his car down off the turns which allowed Chwala to prevail from the outside to take the lead on lap 26 as Ryan Farrell advanced into third just ahead of Gutknecht. With Chwala continuing to lead, Farrell went to work on Stippich for second having his numerous inside looks thwarted when Stippich closed the door entering the turns. After repeated warnings from the flagman toward Stippich to maintain his lane, Farrell eventually wrestled his way by Stippich and into second as Jordan DeVoy tried to follow Farrell's lead from third. DeVoy also peeked to the inside of Stippich for the position and when Stippich defended the maneuver by closing the door again he drew the black flag from the flagman. As the laps wound down, Kyle Chwala would not be denied as he drove to his first career late model feature victory while Ryan Farrell completed his best run of the season with a second place finish. Jordan DeVoy finished in third place ahead of Mike Held and Ryan Gutknecht in fourth and fifth place respectively.

Slinger, Wis., June 12—Rob Braun patiently waited in second place for most of the wild 60-lap super late model main event Sunday night at the Slinger Super Speedway before making his way around defending track champion Steve Apel in the closing laps to capture his first feature victory of the season.
"We've had a rough year and it's been frustrating," Braun stated from victory lane describing his team's effort this season, "I was in the garage until four o'clock in the morning, sitting there almost falling asleep, working on this thing trying to get it ready."
Braun started from the pole position but it was outside front row starter, Steve Apel who quickly established himself as the leader, leaving Braun to battle Conrad Morgan for second place ahead of Grant Griesbach, Nick Wagner, and Alex Prunty. The first of many caution flags waved on lap eight when Mitch McGrath's car looped around in turn three while battling for position with James Swan. Apel chose the outside groove for the restart and once again charged to the lead as Morgan maintained second while Griesbach, Braun, and Prunty disputed third place. Eventually the inside groove prevailed as Braun and Prunty both moved past Griesbach, dropping him into a battle over fifth with Brad Mueller. While Prunty continued to challenge Braun for third, Mueller made repeated attempts on the inside to get by Griesbach in fourth, but couldn't complete the pass as his car would slide loose off the corners. Mueller's car eventually broke loose off turn four on lap 27 to draw a caution flag with Apel leading over Morgan, Prunty, Braun, and Griesbach. Once again Apel chose the outside lane leaving Morgan the inside and after two aborted attempts at restarting, the green finally appeared but only for a lap as Duke Long's car broke loose mid-pack and bottled up the cars of James Swan, Brad Keith, and Brad Mueller in turn three with Swan's car resting atop the left side of Keith's machine. A similar lineup for the restart with Apel again choosing the high lane and Morgan on the low side produced nearly the same results as just after receiving the green flag, Morgan's car drifted a bit wide off turn four where it was tagged by Prunty and sent spinning off the front straightaway producing yet another caution period. Prunty and Morgan were placed at the rear of the field for the next restart which left Apel leading over Rob Braun, Griesbach, and last week's feature winner, Chris Blawat.
After another aborted restart which resulted in Duke Long and Morgan turning sideways deep in the pack in turn four, the field finally put in some green flag laps with Apel continuing to lead over Braun and Griesbach. However, three laps later, the yellow flag would wave again for an incident between Mike Egan and Mitch McGrath in turn four on lap 31. Apel maintained the lead despite some serious challenges from Braun in the inside groove while Griesbach held off Blawat and Ryan DeStefano for third. As racing resumed, Apel used the outside groove to keep command over Braun while Blawat used the inside lane to take third away from Griesbach while Joh, n DeAngelis and Alex Prunty moved forward to challenge DeStefano over fifth. The racing action came to a halt on lap 36 when Conrad Morgan's car pounded the turn four wall nose first before crumpling to a stop in the infield as the red flag was displayed. Morgan was assisted from his car and transported to a local hospital for precautionary reasons.
Once the track was cleared and racing resumed, Apel again used the outside groove to power into the lead over Braun, Blawat, and Griesbach while Prunty used the inside lane to move around DeStefano for fifth. Jon DeAngelis attempted to follow Prunty's inside move around DeStefano but the two made contact, looping both cars down the front straight to draw yet another caution on lap 45. On the ensuing restart, Apel continued to use the outside lane to keep the lead, however, Braun wouldn't let him get away and made repeated attempts to turn under Apel for the lead. Behind the top two, Blawat began to close from third while Alex Prunty worked his way around Griesbach and into fourth just before yet another yellow flag appeared on lap 53 for an incident between Fred Winn and Pat McIntee in turn one. This time however, Braun wasn't ready to let Apel get away from the outside and he stayed even in the inside groove as the two raced door to door for the lead with the laps counting down. Braun was able to edge ahead slightly at the line with five laps to go and then took sole possession of the top spot a lap later as Apel pulled in behind him just prior to the final caution flag waving for debris on the backstretch on lap 57. Braun was ready for the three lap shootout and he held off Apel to capture his first super late model feature victory of the season. Apel finished a strong second and took over the championship points lead while Alex Prunty finished third and moved into second place in the point standings. Chris Blawat followed up last week's winning run with a solid fourth place finish and Grant Griesbach scored his best super late model feature finish in fifth. Ryan DeStefano finished sixth followed by John DeAngelis in seventh while Duke Long, Brad Kossow, and Fred Winn rounded out the top ten.
John DeAngelis won the 30-lap super late model semi-feature over Mike Egan and Brad Kossow. Pat McIntee finished fourth to transfer to the main event and Tim Lampman took the checkered flag in fifth. Super late model heat race victories were recorded by John DeAngelis, Brad Keith, and Steve Apel. Brad Mueller was the fastest qualifier with a lap of 11.291 seconds.
Mike Held drove to victory in the 40-lap late model feature over Jack Stern and Steven Schulz.
Kyle Chwala and Jack Stern brought the field to the green flag and Stern raced out to the early lead as Ryan Farrell moved up into second place by lap five. Stern maintained the top spot over Farrell while Steven Schulz, Held, and Jordan DeVoy began to advance forward. An incident between Jake Vanoskey and Andy Evraets on lap 16 produced the caution flag with Stern leading over Farrell, Held, Ryan Gutknecht, and DeVoy. Held took advantage of the cone on the restart and used the outside lane choice to challenge for the lead as racing resumed. Stern held the point until lap 27 when Held was able to get by for the lead on the outside. Held was able to maintain the lead through another caution period as he drove to the victory. Stern finished in second place followed by Schulz and Jordan DeVoy. Ryan Gutknecht was fifth. Late model heat races were won by Kyle Chwala and Andy Evraets while Jordan DeVoy was the fastest qualifier with a lap of 12.223 seconds.
Ryan Gutknecht hold off Eric Lingford to win the 35-lap Midwest Sportsman feature. Chris Ratajczyk took the checkered flag in third place followed by Ken Calhoun and Jimmie Evans. Scott Shambeau and Ryan Gutknecht each took home Midwest Sportsman heat race victories while Kenny Joosten was the fastest qualifier at 12.899 seconds.
Nick Schmidt won the 25-lap Slinger Bee feature while heat race wins went to Matt Urban, Todd Buckley, and Tom Berens. Berens also set a new track record in qualifying with a lap of 14.375 seconds.

Slinger, Wis., May 29—South Eastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Famer Conrad Morgan notched yet another win in his impressive career as he drove to victory in the E.H. Wolf and Sons Memorial Day 75-lap super late model feature Sunday night at the Singer Super Speedway.
After taking the lead near the halfway mark, Morgan held off a hard charging Alex Prunty his first super late model feature victory of the season while for Prunty, it was the super late model rookie's second consecutive runner-up finish.
Ryan DeStefano and Fred Winn brought the field to the green flag with Nick Wagner and Mitch McGrath behind them and all spent time near the front of the field as caution flags slowed the action on lap seven and lap 22. DeStefano was out front following the lap 22 slow-down over Conrad Morgan, Gary LaMonte, and Alex Prunty, while Dennis Prunty, Jeff Holtz, and Steve Apel lurked close behind. DeStefano paced the event until just before halfway when Morgan made his move to take the lead while Alex Prunty and Holtz moved into third and fourth respectively as Dennis Prunty, Apel, and LaMonte battled for fifth place behind them. Hard racing between Dennis Prunty and Apel on lap 35 drew another caution flag and both took the restart from the rear of the field, leaving DeStefano out front over Morgan, Alex Prunty, and Holtz. Morgan went to work on the restart and a lap later, grabbed the lead on lap 36 while Apel and Dennis Prunty began to work their way forward again. With Morgan out front over Alex Prunty, Holtz was able to take third place from DeStefano who faded a bit as Apel, Dennis Prunty, and LaMonte all were able to get by for position. Morgan would not be denied in the final laps and he drove under the checkered flag to take the victory, leaving Alex Prunty to settle for second place for the second consecutive week. Jeff Holtz advanced from deep in the field to finish third while Steve Apel and Dennis Prunty rounded out the top five. Gary LaMonte finished in sixth place ahead of Ryan DeStefano and John DeAngelis Jr. in seventh and eighth respectively while Grant Griesbach and Brad Keith completed the top ten finishers.

Slinger, Wis., May 22— Jamie Wallace was back in victory lane at the Slinger Super Speedway Sunday night for the first time since 2009 after capturing the victory in the 60-lap Pepsi Challenge Series Round One super late model feature.
"They did a nice job on this car," Wallace told the crowd afterwards, "everyone involved with the crew just did a great job. This is a family event for us and it's a lot of fun."
Wallace and Nick Wagner brought the field to the green flag and Wallace got the early jump from the pole position to take command while third place starter Fred Winn quickly moved into second leaving Wagner to battle with Alex Prunty for third. James Swan occupied the fifth spot just ahead of an intense battle between Chris Blawat, Steve Apel, Conrad Morgan, and Dennis Prunty. Wallace maintained his lead over Winn while Alex Prunty went to work on Wagner for third, pressuring him for a few laps before completing the pass as the leaders began to work lapped traffic. Wallace weaved his way through the lapped machines and continued to set the pace while Alex Prunty and Wagner began to run down Winn for the second position. Swan kept the top four in sight from the fifth spot while Blawat and Apel raced side by side behind him with Dennis Prunty in their tire tracks. Apel muscled his way by Blawat on the inside to grab sixth while Blawat was able to power his way on the outside to fend off Dennis Prunty to hang onto seventh. Closer to the front, Alex Prunty worked his way underneath Winn coming off turn four on lap 46 to take second and as Wagner tried to capitalize on the opening and grab third, Winn tried to cover his spot and the two cars lifted together and made heavy contact with the turn one wall to produce the one and only caution flag of the event.
Wallace chose the outside lane for the restart leaving Alex Prunty the inside groove as racing resumed with fourteen laps to go. Using his discretion as the leader, Wallace timed the start to be on
the throttle at the new restart line and made Prunty wait just a split second which was enough power Wallace into the lead from the outside as the field exited turn two. Alex Prunty quickly fell into
line in second while Swan, Apel, and Dennis Prunty staged a torrid battle for third with Swan and Apel side by side while an anxious Prunty looked high and low in an effort to get by. Wallace drove
the final laps flawlessly and scored his first Slinger super late model feature win since 2009 while Alex Prunty's runner-up performance was his best career super late model feature result. Swan held
off the two most recent track champions to net third while Apel edged Dennis Prunty in a fender rubbing battle over fourth place. Chris Blawat finished sixth ahead of Conrad Morgan and Ryan DeStefano
in seventh and eighth place respectively while John DeAngelis and Brad Mueller rounded out the top ten.
Brad Mueller won the 30-lap super late model semi-feature over Mitch McGrath and Brad Keith as they along with fourth place finisher Rob Braun all transferred to the main event. Lowell Bennett finished fifth. Super late model heat race victories went to Brad Keith, Mike Egan, and Dennis Prunty while the ageless Conrad Morgan set fast time with a lap of 11.321 seconds.
Bobby Gutknecht won the exciting 35-lap Midwest Sportsman feature as the division made its first appearance of the 2016 season.
Bobby Gutknecht and Ryan Gutknecht started on the front row and raced side by side, swapping the lead throughout most of the event. Ryan Gutknecht held the outside lane and Bobby Gutknecht worked the low line as neither could get a sizeable advantage to take sole possession of the lead. As the top two battled, Eric Lingford, Brian Holtz, and Bill Prietzel closed in to create a five car battle for the top spot as the laps wound down. On the final lap with the leaders still side by side, Ryan Gutknecht's charge on the outside came to a halt when he broke loose in turn four and spun around, allowing Bobby Gutknecht to take the victory with Lingford finishing second. Prietzel collected the spinning Ryan Gutknecht as Brian Holtz finished third with Kenny Joosten and Jimmie Evans coming around to complete the top five finishers. Kenny Joosten and Eric Lingford each picked up a Midwest Sportsman heat race victory and Jimmie Evans nailed down his first career fast qualifier honors with a lap of 12.851 seconds.
Andy Welter remained perfect for the 2016 season in the Area Sportsman division as he drove to his third consecutive feature victory in the 30-lap main event.
Adam Blesken paced the opening laps before Ken Au took command of the race on lap eight. Au maintained the top spot until lap 14 when Welter swept by to take the lead. Welter could not be caught the rest of the way and he drove to the victory over Au and Bleskan while Jacob Schraufnagel finished fourth and Paul Wagner took the checkered flag in fifth. Earlier Adam Bleskan won the Area Sportsman heat race and Paul Wagner was the fastest qualifier after turning in lap at 13.127 seconds.

Slinger, Wis., April 24— As the laps wound down, Dennis Prunty outdueled Steve Apel in heavy traffic to capture the victory in the season opening Miller Lite 75 Sunday afternoon at the Slinger Super Speedway.
"We just got into lapped traffic and I was following Steve (Apel), " Prunty stated from victory lane, describing the winning pass with three laps to go, "He was slipping and sliding and I was slipping and sliding and when he went down there, I just stuck it on the outside and it worked for me."
Alex Prunty and Gary LaMonte led the field to the green flag and they swapped the lead in the opening laps before LaMonte eventually prevailed to take the top spot from the outside lane. Brad Mueller also used the outer groove to challenge Prunty for second place, taking the position after a few laps of side by side racing and Steve Apel followed suite with a similar outside move to grab the third spot. Conrad Morgan's car slowed to the inside on lap ten to draw the first caution flag with LaMonte leading over Mueller, Apel, and Prunty. Despite losing several positions, Morgan was able to continue in the event as the field began to form for the restart.
LaMonte maintained the lead on the restart as Mueller challenged for the top spot on the outside as racing resumed while Jeff Holtz and Dennis Prunty joined the lead group alongside Apel and Alex Prunty. Mueller was able to work the outside long enough to take the lead on lap 17 while LaMonte and Holtz remained glued on his bumper with Apel and Dennis Prunty side by side behind them. Mueller was unable to protect both the high and low side and after a nudge from Holtz in turn three, he skated up the track allowing the inside running LaMonte, Holtz and Apel to charge by and into the first three spots. By the time Mueller gathered up his car, Prunty also slipped by as the race remained under green. With LaMonte out front, Apel went to work on Holtz for second, first making a charge on the inside before moving to the outside lane to finally complete the pass. Dennis Prunty and Mueller also took to the outside to work their way around Holtz and into third and fourth respectively as Apel tried to track down LaMonte for the lead. Apel, Prunty, and Mueller were able to close on LaMonte as the leaders began to work lapped traffic as the heavy traffic took its toll further in the field as Conrad Morgan and Jamie Wallace exited the event after suffering damage as the result of contact with a lapped machine. While still in traffic, Apel used the outside groove to pin LaMonte behind a lapped car, allowing the defending track champion to take the lead and bring Prunty and Mueller along with him as LaMonte fell to fourth. Still amidst lapped cars, Prunty looked to the inside of Apel for the lead but could only pull alongside before being blocked by traffic with less than ten laps to go. With three laps to go, Prunty moved to the outside and was able to get a run alongside Apel off turn two in effect, pinning him behind the lapped machines and allowing Prunty to take the lead. Apel could only charge to Prunty's rear bumper in the closing laps as Prunty scored the win while Apel had to settle for second. Brad Mueller finished a close third while Gary LaMonte and Jeff Holtz rounded out the top five finishers.
Rob Braun edged James Swan to win the 30-lap super late model semi-feature as they along with third place Mitch McGrath and fourth place Brad Keith transferred to the main event. Grant Griesbach finished fifth. Super late model heat race victories were recorded by Jerry Eckhardt, Jerry Mueller, Casey Johnson, and Alex Prunty while Jeff Holtz was the fastest qualifier with a lap of 11.239 seconds.
Jordan DeVoy won the 40-lap late model feature over Kyle Chwala and Mike Held. Earlier leader Brian Holtz finished fourth while Mike Meyerhofer was fifth.
Holtz charged to the early lead over Tyler James, Ryan Gutknecht, Meyerhofer, and DeVoy while Chwala and Held raced close behind. The inside groove worked best early on and James, Meyerhofer, and Held advanced ahead while Gutknecht and DeVoy worked the outside with Holtz still leading. As Held passed Gutknecht on the front straightaway, his right rear made slight contact with Gutknecht's left front which edged Gutknecht into the wall to draw the first caution on lap five. Held restarted from the rear of the field while Gutknecht retired from the race as Holtz led James, Meyerhofer, Chwala, and DeVoy. Holtz maintained his lead as racing resumed while James and DeVoy were able to move forward on the inside ahead of Meyerhofer and Chwala. Tyler Schley also worked the inside to get in front of Meyerhofer and Chwala while Mike Held worked his way forward from the rear of the field. A spin in turn four by Tyler Hromadka produced a caution flag on lap 14 with Holtz leading over DeVoy, James, Held, and Schley. On the restart, DeVoy was able to power ahead of Holtz from the outside lane to take the lead while James and Schley raced for third as Held battled with Chwala and Al Stippich just behind them. As the field raced off turn four Schley's car swung wide in the outside lane and as he corrected it, side contact with James caused James' car to spin across the track to produce another caution flag. As racing resumed, DeVoy continued to lead over Holtz while Stippich battled with Chwala and Held for third. Holtz became caught on the outside and he faded back as Stippich, Chwala and Held battled for second behind the leader DeVoy. With just four laps to go smoke began to billow from Stippich's car and the caution waved as fluid was on the track. DeVoy was up to the task during the final laps and he drove to the victory over Chwala and Held while Holtz and Meyerhofer rounded out the top five.
Jordan DeVoy and Justin Poenitsch each won a late model heat race and Mike Held set a new track record in qualifying with a lap of 12.053 seconds.
