I love Native Foods. I was lucky enough to live only a few miles away during my high school years, and every time I come home, it is my first stop after leaving the airport. The menu has a wide variety of "veganized" American favorites, mostly made with tempeh, seitan, and textured vegetable protein products. They have salads, pizzas, desserts, appetizers, sandwiches, burgers... It is the only place I've ever been where I've had so many options. I usually can't get out of there without scarfing down an appetizer, seitan burger, dessert, and at least three glasses of their hibiscus iced-tea. Prices are reasonable, portions are filling, service is always friendly, and they have a great punch-card system to reward the regulars. Best of all, you can take home the Native Foods cookbook and try to replicate their greatest hits in your own kitchen. I look forward to moving back home and spending more time at Native Foods again.
