experiment update/ exciting news!

welp, all 3 were loved, it was a draw. so I'm going the economic route and using the least expensive for the menu item, but fret not Jacksonvillians! I'll now be offering delicious vegan treats to order- in bulk!

Per Joey's request!

I will now be offering made to order takeaway foods!

quarts of :
tempeh salad
faux egg salad
faux chicken salad
black bean salad
hummus
and ofcourse, guacamole

AND my homemade raw flax crackers (they're so good the Folio gave me a 'bouquet' for them) go great with all of the above.

also, I've made cakes to order for some of you already, I'll still be doing that with the 3 layer chocolate ganache cake (most popular) and the carrotcake w/ pumpkin cream cheeze frosting, I'm going to add chocolate chip(the best ever!) and oatmeal cookies to that list as well.

ofcourse it's ALL vegan, and I'll be using local organic produce as much as possible- because of this prices may fluctuate somewhat but Its always going to be a FAIR price $$$ less than the markets around town *ahem native sun*

call or email me to place an order!

VEGAN Chicken Salad- The experiment

So, I've finalized a menu for the new cafe(a work in progress)! I've got a sandwich on there called the fake out- with sprouts, tomato, and faux chicken salad- I've always gone the standard firm tofu, veganaise, celery, onion, spices, etc route (same goes for faux egg salad, except sub silken tofu). But I was wondering if there was anything better out there- So tonight I'm going to do a side by side comparison with 3 different Vegan chicken salads:
Tofu. Tempeh. MorningStar farms Chik'n meal starters (yes! they're vegan!)

I've got a feeling that I'll like tempeh the most, but I'm gonna need some 2nd opinions on this-

If you're in Jacksonville, come to Shantytown tonight for trivia and to sample the goods!
