We have company in town and one of guests is a vegetarian (yay). We really want to make sure he gets a taste of what he's missing in his vegetarian unfriendly town. We showed him wassup with the Dog n Ducks burger, but he's had may veggie burgers before (he did admit it was the best he'd ever had). He had El Mercado and it was nothing special, that was sort of an accident since we thought they had drink specials. Then he tried his first bite of vegan chorizo (he's mexicano) in his Whole Foods breakfast taco. Of course he has been telling us how stupid we are being vegans.. because it's "so hard." He has been craving a hot dog because for some reason they don't have vegan hot dogs where he shops and his mom makes the unvegan ones too often.. So we take him to Iggi's! He ordered the rodeo hotdog which includes all of the ingredients they have, he loved it! We told him about 3/4 of the way through that it was all vegan, even the mayo, cheese and queso and he didn't believe us. We had the hot wings and man were they amazing! Better than you would think because maybe you were picturing tiny, fake meat drenched in sauce? Nope. These are huge, tender chunks of seitan. Perfectly breaded and fried, then coated with the most delicious wing sauce ever. Shannon did not even like chicken wings before going veg and she was amazed. The sauce had just the right amount of vinegar and the creamy ranch dressing met it half way and toned it down to perfection. Not only did our vegetarian friend love them and was convinced they were real meat, our non-vegetarian friend also loved them. He ordered the sweet mushroom sandwich from the asian place next door, no oohs or aahs were reported. We love Iggi's although the blonde woman who serves the food up seems consistently indifferent and bored.
