Red Bamboo

Sharing a family tree with Vegetarian Paradise 2 and Dragonfly, Red Bamboo satisfies those who like their seitan with soul (and their meats in mock form). It’s easy to fall under the spell of Voodoo Sticks (grilled, spicy soy “beef” and pepper) or deep-fried soy. And the (trademarked) Creole Soul Chicken can stand up to its clucking counterpart. The pierced-and-tattooed staff dishes out sweet Southern hospitality right alongside pistachio ice cream.
