vegadelphia meat on a great roll w/optional soy cheese, soy mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, salt and pepper. i usually skip the cold items. the staff is great and they've got a lot of other veggie items. i eat this one at least once a week for lunch due to it's proximity to my workplace and it makes me quite happy.

F.A.Q.
what's up with the name?
ask the plaintiff.
what's vegadelphia meat?
vegadelphia is
a philadelphia company that produces fake veggie cheese
steak meat.
it's like the boca burger of the veggie steak world.
they make chicken
and beef and
they're both 100% vegan. it's not bad at
all, really. but it is going
to be pretty much the
same wherever you get it, which is why the
bread/cheese/toppings really
matter in
those situations.
