Cheap Eats 2009

Decorated simply with bamboo, Papa G's is less about style than sustainability. The tempeh Reuben ($5.99) looks tiny but packs a filling punch—a scallion biscuit slapped with vegan Thousand Island dressing and kraut, topped with a meaty wild-rice tempeh burger. The spicy barbecue tofu sandwich ($5.99) is just as tasty. The salad bar ($9.75 a pound) stocks all sorts of rarities: Choose from watermelon radishes, golden beets, hijiki seaweed, mango and canisters of crunchy toppings, such as veggie bacon bits, sesame and flax.
