Kitchen has partnered with Uncle Mince’s to serve his world famous seitan in a number of dishes, including a delicious Philly Cheez Steak sandwich. In addition to a couple sandwiches, the food at Vegan International Co. Kitchen is definitely inspired by soul food.

Their Cake Shake is to die for: this sweet treat is made with a slice of their delicious cake blended together with ice cream and then topped with whipped cream… it’s a thick, slurpable dessert. Prices: Plates $10; Sides $5, 1375

After having worked at a vegan restaurant that closed down, chef Kyoko Faison wanted to see Tampa have more vegan restaurants. So she took matters into her own hands and opened Pure Kitchen, a grab-and-go take-out place offering hearty globally-inspired entrées, salads, and desserts. Perfect for the business crowd during busy lunchtime hours, they also offer meal delivery (South Tampa area) and catering services. Their menu changes weekly, but their fan favorites, like Mac & Cheese with coconut bacon, Asian Sesame Noodle, and Jen’s Favorite Ranch Salad, are always available.
