We had curtailed our travel for much of the pandemic and so we were excited to finally try Chili Mustard Onions, an all-vegan restaurant in the heart of Detroit.
This is a take on Detroit Coney Island restaurants except that everything is vegan. And so think: dogs, burgers and fries.
We had The Big Mock and the Chik'un Parm Sub. The sub used a breaded and deep-fried Quorn cutlet and plenty of great marinara sauce, smoked vegan provolone and cashew parmesan, all on a thick bun. The Big Mock mimics the Big Mac, except vegan style of course, using specially-seasoned Beyond Burger patties, along with a sesame seed bun, a house-made sauce, pickles, onions, lettuce and cheeze. The Big Mock really did remind us of the Big Mac, at least how we remembered it from many, many years ago. We got both their regular fries and also waffle fries.
The food was delightfully heavy and scratched an itch that we didn't even realize that we had! Don't go to Chili Mustard Onions if you are hoping for light food as everything is heavy. Think of vegan gluttony! Although they use commercially-available plant-based meat products (Quorn Chick'Un, Beyond Burgers, Smart Dogs), they aren't just slapping these products together but are seasoning them in creative ways and making the products into unique creations.
We saw that they have gyros as well with homemade seitan-based gyro meat. We didn't try one this time but will on our next visit!
