"At this Division Street diner-style shop, vegans can have their pick of animal-free burgers and sandwiches, from traditional lettuce-tomato-onion topped patties to messy-delicious creations like the soy curl po’ boy with spicy remoulade and the Chicago hot (Italian) beef a la The Bear. D.C. Vegetarian’s faux meats include scratch-made soy-gluten-oat patties, as well as Before the Butcher, house seitan and tempeh bacon. There are also rotating Wednesday and “Fryday” specials like a Reuben burger and a brunch burger with an Ota tofu ‘egg. A burger, plus a side of potato salad or soy curl chicken salad, makes a fully satisfying lunch." - Anastasia Sloan
