Purple People Eater

I feel immense pressure when visiting a new and all-vegan eatery. So many things to choose from, I wish I had like 9 stomaches, like the cows do. I have the uncanny knack of taking risks with new menus and often end up ordering the “wrong” thing. I do this in many avenues in my life I suppose but it is never more obvious then when I am chewing on it. Anyway, I hit the new vegan spot on 23rd street’s mass of nil veg-options: Terri. After much squinting at the posted menu and some advice from the counterperson, I took a risk and tried their Jerk Tofu Pineapple sandwich. I enjoyed it but was a bit perplexed by the purple jerk sauce spread on my delicious warm foccacia bread. What was it? I couldn’t help but obsessing over it. It wasn’t the best choice, no. But so what. The place has plenty other sandwiches to chose from, as well as fresh juice and housemade cupcakes. Next time, I’ll take the advice of the counter gal and try the popular buffalo chicken sandwich and suspend my fear of “chicken” in quotation marks.
