Veg Out: The POPE

I don't particularly want to tell anyone where the POPE is. It's no secret, but it's one of those sacred neighborhood places that people consistently never know about.

If someone tells you that the seitan cheesesteak there is any good, buy them another beer until they're less right than they already are.

Because it's a very shitty example of what a seitan steak should be.

If you've had the Abbaye version, you'll see the glaring differences. The quality of the bread, cheese, and seasoning, for one. The level of the fries? There's hardly enough tasteless seitan to fill the cheap roll, so all you identify is cheese. You won't even realize that there are onions on this thing. It's like settling. I wouldn't rec it.

I'm not saying it isn't edible. Just average. Throw back some lager and you should be persuaded.
