Can you spot the odd one out?
We make meat from plants. But we're people who love cooking low-and-slow-braised, pulled, whole-muscle cuts: the kind you're excited to sear and serve on top of grits, tostadas, and salads. You won't find ground meat here 🤷♀️

Thinking about Fannie Farmer's prowess and belief for good food in our city today.
If only we could share a bowl . Or maybe she's more a sando person.

Thinking about Julia Child's iconic loyalty to Savenor's, just a street over from Tender HQ. If she were here in the Boston of today, we'd have said hi with our braised short rib.

Just a little over a week more of the Vegan Mamaleh's Pop Up , ending December 29! What a nostalgic, creative run of deli favorites it has been. We were touched by the love you had for the rendition of our plant-based chicken schnitzel and short rib sandwiches. Thank you for choosing plants to make comfort meals even better
