Yesterday I had the opportunity through Philly Influencer Mixer to attend the new menu tasting at Underground Arts. This was a great night of food and drinks!
Chef Jennifer Zavala did a wonderful job of mixing the options. You might remember her from Bravo Top Chef! From regular meat options to vegan and vegetarian options alike she nailed it. The options were super tasty! I had not been to Underground Arts before and I was definitely in for a treat! The artwork first of all is absolutely stunning. Underground Arts is an amazing concert arena. With the new food options concert goers will be able to have a great time with good food that match their lifestyle!
Let’s talk about the food!
Vegan loose meat Sandwich
This sandwich was amazingly good. It was flavorful, tasty, and made with care. I was so excited because it’s not often that venues care enough to provide options for all.
Vegan buffalo wings
What I liked about this dish is that the texture was similar to regular chicken wings. This is by FAR thee best vegan chicken wing I’ve EVER have had. I could have a non vegan taste it and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. The crunchy goodness is exactly what you expect to a buffalo wing. Chef Zavala hit this one on the head.
Vegan Walking Taco
Now it was Tuesday and having a vegan walking taco literally is like getting your whole life together! Immediate dances and smiles came over me. To be honest greedy or not I had two of these! They were everything a walking taco needed. This was by far one of my favorite dishes of the night!
Vegan Tamale
This Tamale was great. I loved the way it came together and it wasn’t mushy at all. I haven’t had a Vegan Tamale ever! This was everything and more!
Overall Underground Arts has definitely found a winner with Chef Zavala! These dishes will make anyone who wants an alternative lifestyle not have to give up taste. Also after meeting Chef Zavala her upbeat attitude let’s me know when she cooks; she cooks with love and amazing energy!
