Vegan MoFo: BBQ Chick’n and Slaw Sandwich

Posted by Kristen on Oct 11, 2011 in Cooking, Food, News, Restaurants, VeganMOFO | 6 comments

This weekend I ate at DC’s Founding Farmers for brunch and ate the best BBQ “chicken” sandwich of. my. life. See photo to the left - humina, humina!

In partnership with VegDC.com and Compassion Over Killing, Founding Farmers created a full vegan menu with classic dishes served completely vegan. This heavenly meal consisted of a Griddled Gardein chick’n breast with  Founding Farmers’ homemade vegan BBQ sauce and crunchy slaw served on a homemade, toasted English muffin. Um, does it get any better than this?!
