philly update

vedge-
i wasnt really planning on eating here because of my dislikes with horizons. $14 for a block of tofu...what year is this? however, i was willing to give the happy hour specials a chance. i though the seitan wraps(they are not tacos like they're called on the menu) were excellent and worth getting. everything else on that $4 menu was good, but the seitan was the standout. i also got the choco-taco for desert and it was good, but could be knocked down a few dollars...

at least the interior looks worthy of the high prices this time around. EXCEPT for the bathroom. it looks like a restroom you'd find at the ymca pool and the soap was some boring method brand bottle that still had a security censor on it. i expect nice soap when dining at fancy vegan eateries. much like grindcore house. they know whats up when it comes to restroom soaps.


el camino real-
i was exciting about the cactus and sweet potato tacos and the wings. both are not vegan. the only vegan option really was a boring burrito that they charge $4 extra for seitan. it came with 3 pieces of seitan. lame. dont bother going.


south philly taproom-
went here for brunch one day and order the tofu scramble. a classic stand-by. sptr's scramble is basically soft cold tofu with some other stuff thrown in.


blackbird-
i tried the new chickpea parm sandwich and it was good. i still think the cubano and bbq are the best though. i've tried some different than my usual slices too. all are great, but could use a little less dayia or another cheese alternative.
