| - Wow. Channel up your inner fat kid and get yourself to The Hogtown Vegan next time you're in serious need of hearty food. I'm one of those rare people whose idea of comfort food is not mac & cheese or fries loaded with greasy and wet stuff. I equate comfort with good health (yah, I'm a nerd), so I'm more inclined to eat big warm bowls full of hearty grains and plant proteins when I need "comfort food." That said, I've been known to smash in a plate of deep fried hot cauliflower "wings" in minutes and don't even get me started or I'll pen my ode to the perfect French fries right now. I can do junk food with the best of 'em. This isn't junk food though, I promise you.
The hot wings at Hogtown vegan are of the fake chicken variety. The batter and sauce is on point (actually so good that my mouth waters at the memory), but I do prefer cauliflower to something that seems very close to chicken. I think most people would love these, so do order them (and they have BBQ if you can't take the heat). Oh and that dipping sauce puts any ranch dressing to shame (I love shaming ranch dressing because I hate it).
I also ordered the seitan roast beef sandwich. The seitan is thinly sliced, which is amazing! I never had it that way before so that was a nice surprise. But I think I was so beguiled by the photos posted of this sandwich that I ignored my better judgement. I don't like sandwiches loaded with gravy so WTH was I thinking? Maybe I should have told them gravy on the side? I couldn't pick the enormous thing up and eat it, so I just picked out the seitan and left the huge roll alone. This is one serious sandwich and amateurs shouldn't attempt it.
The truth is, I'm still mad at myself for not ordering a large Caesar salad because the salad that accompanied the sandwich (it's a little extra money) is fucking incredible. Like in the league of the best vegan Caesars I've ever had. It's super savory and salty and all the good things: crunchy romaine, tiny bacon bits and parm crumbles, just the right amount of dressing. I ate every last bit of it and it's a considerable portion. In fact so good, I picked up the basket the sandwich was in on the plate to hunt for more underneath. I'm devoted to that Caesar salad.
And for dessert, I couldn't resist the coconut ice cream cookie sandwich. If a photo is worth a thousand words, I hope that there's a thousand synonyms for "delicious." The ice cream isn't just a coconut base but has pieces of chewy coconut. The cookies are perfectly chewy/crunchy cinnamon chocolate chip. I am smitten with this thing. Completely smitten.
What a gorge fest. But next time I'm having the salad... heh.
