On to the tasting! My food was delicious. A very hearty meal especially considering it was vegan. ( I have done vegan many times before and I have to admit I was a little hungry after) For my carnivores out there the BBQ vegan chicken did not taste exactly like chicken (of course). However, it had a perfect meaty texture and a light sweet BBQ sauce. It is definitely seitan (Wheat gluten, pronounced /ˈseɪtæn/)). The greens are good too. For those of you used to the smoke meat flavor in the greens your grandma used to make I am sorry to disappoint you, but the greens here don’t have that flavor. None-the-less, these greens were delicious. I adored the cabbage it was sweet and savory. I also ordered a side of banana bread, which was fantastic. My meal had a home cooking feel without the added fat of meat. I think all and all my meal ( including my beverage and banana bread came to $14.00. I must say that if u like seitan and soul food, I think you’ll love this spot. ;)
