I recently ate at Which Wich? after reading this article about its vegan offerings.
I have to say, Which Wich? Has a LOT more and better vegan options than many of its competitors (like McAlisters, Sweet Peppers, Firehouse, or … yick … Subway).
Their samdwiches are great, but beware their hot pepper blend … when they say hot, they mean it.
Their house chips are awesome, a top notch salt and pepper style.
They also have a light and refreshing sweet green tea.
Give them a try the next time you want a deli sandwich.
I feel like a Doctor Who villain: Devour! Devour! Devour!
Seriously, I’ve never tasted, and certainly never made, tofu this good. And I owe it all to this video from Sarah’s Vegan Kitchen:
This was actually my second batch. The first tasted good, but didn’t quite have the golden crisp texture I was looking for. This one nailed it.
By the way, one package of tofu makes three big sandwiches or maybe six smaller ones.
I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Raspberry Chipotle BBQ sauce as the final ingredient in the tofu “fry”, and added some to the sandwich.
For the sandwiches, use your favorite bread (I made two sandwiches, one on white and one on seeded wheat, and both were equally good).
Toast the bread first.
Spread each slice with a little mayo (optional).
Add BBQ sauce to one slice, and layer it thick with golden crispy caramelized sauced tofu.
Then add shredded cabbage (or cole slaw, if you prefer) and thin cut redonions. Go big with both of these, especially the cabbage. They bring a big crunch and bright flavors to the party, er, sandwich.
Put the sandwich together and you’re ready to go.
The tofu and the toasted bread are warm and both crispy and soft at once. The cabbage and onion are cold and crunchy.
The combination of flavors and textures really makes the sandwich pop.
That’s a raw red onion, leftover broccoli, and kernel corn sandwich with Vegannaise and Pickapepper hot sauce, on the best bread ever baked, my Mom’s homemade whole wheat.
The broccoli was already cooked firm. The corn was canned. I toasted the bread and microwaved the veggies for 30 seconds.
It was simple and thrown together, but I liked it.
I’ve loved leftover dressing for years. This is my vegan version.
I used my vegan cornbread dressing, two slices of my Mom’s homemade bread (the best bread ever), vegan mayo on both slices, and homemade cranberry sauce on one slice.
I toasted the bread and left the rest of it (including the dressing) cold. The contrast of the hot bread and the cold filling is part of the fun.
Not pictured: the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. I’m really bad at food photography.
We went to the Magic Kingdom two days during our Disney World trip. On the first day, we ate at Cinderella’s Castle. But that’s an expensive, once-per-trip (at most) expedition. We went with something more low-key (and less expensive), The Liberty Tree Tavern.
Like Cinderella’s Castle, Liberty Tree had a few great vegan options on the main menu. We had corn fritters for an appetizer, and I ate the “Vegetarian Proclamation” sandwich. It was amazing, just filled with seasonal vegetables like squash and zucchini and mushrooms. The entire flavor was just too good. I said “I want to just stay here and eat more of these sandwiches all day. I don’t need any more rides.”
Needless to say, we left and did more rides. But the sandwich was just that good.
This isn’t a very expensive meal by Disney standards, but you will need reservations. There just isn’t really any way to get a walk-in.
