Beefless Sandwich

I tried the Italian Beefless Sandwich with sweet peppers. It's made with seitan and tasted great. They have two other vegetarian/vegan options (caprese sandwich and Italian Beefless Bowl).

Pros: Indoor and outdoor seating

Deadly

vegan Italian beef!

The vegan Italian beef is SHOCKINGLY good! I wasn’t expecting much from it but gave it a shot and was totally WOWed by it! It’s very salty (as expected) but delish! My meat eater Bf was suprised by how good it tasted even.
Update Jan 2022
They now have a beefless BOWL which is honestly my new strat! It’s like 3 meals and I don’t have to eat it all at once because the bun is soggy. When I was getting the sandwich I was full after half but knew the bun would be too soggy to save/eat the rest later and I would be way too full after.

The Vegan Beefless Beef Sandwich is the best Vegan Food I've had in Ages!

Buona has a collab. with Upton's Naturals and they've made an incredible Beefless Beef sandwich that's available at all of their locations. Highly recommend. Even the meat eaters that i was with loved it and said they couldn't tell the difference. A Chicago Classic now made Veganized!

Pros: So GOOD! , The Bread and peppers are amazing too, a Chicago classic goes Vegan

Cons: they don't ship these yet, hopefully soon.
