We like to Yelp our way across the country, finding places off the beaten path to eat while we breeze through cities unknown. And you know how it is when you're driving long distances, the intestinal upset that occurs when you repeatedly fill up on fast food and sugar. As we approached Charlotte, our tummies begging for lunch, we decided to find a wrap place not too far from the interstate. And that's how we came to find Zizis, a fantastic little vegan sandwich shop with tons of GF options available.
We both had the falafel with veganaise, fries, and a coconut/almond milk smoothie and we left feeling full and good about having made a healthy meal choice. The place is just a little difficult to find, not easily visible from the street and tucked away in a shopping center that is perpendicular to the road. But once you find it, you'll find a tiny takeout shop with friendly staff and helpful information about the merits of a vegan diet. So you get lunch and you learn something!
