Vegetarian Star

Those who weren’t familiar with Steve Ells before tuning in to America’s Next Great Restaurant were probably at least familiar with his Mexican restaurant chain, Chipotle.

After introducing the vegan friendly burrito to the Washington, D.C. area, Chipotle is giving New Yorkers the opportunity to enjoy meatless Mexican.

The Village Voice had a Garden Blend prepared and reported the taste wasn’t quite like seitan, but didn’t have that “creepy texture and weird soy aftertaste of texturized vegetable protein (TVP).”

If you like the creepy texture of TVP, you still might find the Garden Blend enjoyable, especially when you consider the reasonable  price of only about $7 ($10 with guacamole).
