"An unassuming joint across the street from Emancipation Park, Soul Food Vegan is a neighborhood spot combining meatless comfort food with a dash of Creole flavor. You don’t go to Soul Food Vegan for the scene, but rather for a quick bite to finish off the day. The menu has Cajun pasta, burgers, jambalaya, and fresh-pressed moringa juice. But we’ll take anything that involves oyster mushrooms because the fried strips are just as delicious on their own as they are pressed between toasted bread. Try their po’boy with deep-fried oyster mushrooms that crunch when you bite into them, coated in spicy mayo and topped with red onions that amplify the sandwich’s crunch. " - gianni greene
