A pitch for VSpot (100% vegan restaurant in Park Slope)

Try their vegetarian Spicy Sesame Chicken. So good.

Can't wait to try it, Hunan Delight that is. Spicy sesame veg chicken sounds yummy. And the Stir place, too. Always good finds around here.

Went to Red Hot for the first time recently. The Vegetable Tso's Chicken is pretty good. I have NO idea what this particular mock chicken is made from but it's tasty.

Chef Lady, thanks for bringing up the debate on processed mock vegetarian foods. I think it's a good point. I wish I knew what all these mock products were made from at each and every restaurant. I would certainly support the ones that use no/less processing. Also, I don't think it's hurting anyone that you're advertising your services here, rather discreetly, too. Small business people need all the support they can get and I would say vegan chefs especially.

If it offends you that I have my signature on my messages, I'll gladly remove it.

yes ma'am
but I *liked* the seitan at Stir It Up, and have not tried it at the Chinese place on Union and 6th that everyone likes...
Have YOU been to Red Bamboo? Did you give up on opening a place, and is there a single fekking one you can recommend?
Red Bamboo is ok if you avoid the specials and if you like fake meats. But honestly, as a vegan, I take what I can get. But meat eaters seem to like it. I just went to Stir It Up tonight! It was good but I like the Islands better. No plantains?!

My favorite seitan is at Rice on 7th, it's called "tofu spices" but it's seitan and it is sooo good. The best vegan food is probably at Candle 79 but that's in Manhattan and way too expensive.

Does anyone remember Organica? It was on 7th avenue but closed like 7 years ago. And going even further back (like 15 years back, wow), there was a place called Who's on 7th. I think it was across from Key Food. They'd give you a pile of lentils and a pile of brown rice and you would like it.
