Quick review: I was caught off guard by these vegan dogs from Sweet Earth; a plant-based label that I have to confess has given me more misses than hits. Not here though, these veggie dogs offer up everything I’m looking for – a smooth emulsified texture and billowy smoke flavor. Perfect for a cookout. Actually speaking of that…
The firm texture means these will hold up to a range of cooking methods. The packaging reckons you can happily grill these – I wouldn’t argue with that. I air fried them which was possibly a little excessive, crisping the exterior and drying it out a little too much. For me, these are a solid meat free dog, better than most, with little to no weird after taste.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC – Utah’s biggest and oldest online food magazine; I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV shows.
I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have covered the Utah dining scene for the better part of fifteen years. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. I started Shop Smart to catalogue my adventures in the grocery store and kitchen.
