Drew's is a health-conscious eatery that specializes in vegan and vegetarian hot dogs, soups and sandwiches. The menu isn't entirely vegetarian. They do have a few meat options for the carnivores out there, but the idea is to offer a completely organic and mostly healthy menu. I say mostly healthy because they are also known for their ice cream. And even though their ice cream may contain the obligatory dose of fat and calories, they have a variety of vegan ice cream flavors and their entire menu is free of artificial preservatives, trans-fats, nitrates, artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup.


The interior of Drew's is pretty small, but it was very clean, and unfortunately rather empty. We were tempted by the ice-cream, but we came for dinner so dinner we had. I got the Sloppy Drew, a sloppy joe-esque sandwich made with organic beef and white cheddar cheese, served on a wheat hot dog bun. Jenn got the Vegan Polish Kielbasa, a tofu sausage with garlic spices. We also shared a bowl of vegan southwestern chili. Everything was delicious, and all ingredients fresh and natural as promised. They even have their very own all-organic juice bar!
