"Hailing from Mississippi, Alkebulan Moroski serves entirely vegan Southern comfort foods made with Moroski’s own shockingly meaty seitan — that come in the form of well-spiced crispy-fried “chicken” and breaded “catfish” strips — that will even leave meat-eaters mystified. Tangy barbecue ribs arrive alongside equally delicious sides, like cornbread, Cajun mac and cheese, fried okra, and red beans and rice. The Fremont restaurant also serves as a vegan corner store, carrying Dirty Lettuce’s cornbread mix and coffee blends, as well as snacks, home goods, and pottery from local makers." - Anastasia Sloan
