On Friday, I checked out a new vegan eatery in New York City's Flatiron/Chelsea neighborhood (three blocks from my office!!) - Terri, which I learned about here on Supervegan, but which was also reviewed here at VegNews. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Chicken Ranch and Meatball Sub (dinner for two - I'm not a total glutton) - and I had a VERY hard time choosing just two items from the mouth-watering menu. Needless to say, the sandwiches were OUTstanding.
What's great about Terri is that it doesn't make any sort of fuss about being vegan - meaning, an unsuspecting meateater might wander in and be surprised after one delicious bite that it's all cruelty-free. The "cheese" is listed as "Daiya mozzarella and cheddar," which vegans know is an awesome new product that came on the market last year, but which non-vegans might assume is just some brand of mozzarella or cheddar. Hehehe...little do they know, and they certainly couldn't tell by tasting.
Talk about normalizing the vegan diet. This is a great start! And I can't wait to go back and try out the other items - next time, I might even throw in a vegan cupcake for dessert! :)
(Postscript: In fact, as it turns out, I just made last minute plans to eat there again tonight!)
