I understand that a lot of people try to eat heathfully these days, but....

does every restaurant have to insist on serving ONLY white meat chicken?

It dries out too easily and has next to NO flavor.

Mellow Mushroom sells a grilled tempeh sub -- try it on your favorite carnivore, but don't tell them it's meatless.

I have never been there. I checked out the menu online and I'm happy to see that they cater to vegetarians. I will definitely go there soon.

I used to down their small Veggie Deluxe pizza in one sitting -- easy to do when you spend all day on your feet. The tempeh and tofu subs are both good, as is the avocado. They have other veggie subs I've never tried.

Be sure to try the (soft) pretzels ! I just celebrated my birthday with lunch at MM the other day -- I really missed those pretzels.
