WHICH WICH?
It was over the Thanksgiving holiday that I discovered a fabulous new sandwich place (new to me anyway). 
There is a Which Wich at our local mall, as well as a free-standing one just down the street from us.
When you walk in, they have all of these brown paper bags to choose from that you write on to order your sandwich. There’s a bag for vegetarians!!! You then tick off which vegetarian sandwich you want specifically and all the extras you want on it. It’s so nice to have an order form and not have to change or make a ton of requests when ordering, like I usually have to do as a vegan. The vegetarian choices are:
- HUMMUS & BELL PEPPERS
- TOMATO & AVOCADO
- TRIPLE CHEESE MELT
- BLACK BEAN PATTY
- ELVIS WICH (PB, Honey & Banana)
Obviously some of those don’t work for vegans. The sandwich comes on wheat or white bread. They are both vegan, except the wheat bread does have honey in it, which technically means that’s not vegan (depending on where you stand in that debate). I went ahead and got mine on wheat both times, choosing to go ahead and have the honey. It’s so hard for me to want white bread, as there are no nutritional benefits. I’m much more satisfied with a hearty wheat bread.
Now, I ordered the black bean patty both times. After doing some research as to whether it was a vegan black bean patty, I now have to tell you that it’s not. :/ Online when I was researching some people said they had been told it was vegan, others told no. I decided to write Which Wich myself. The ingredient list they sent me for the patty has egg whites and calcium caseinate in it. Boo!! I’m still super excited for this sandwich place though because the Hummus & Bell Pepper and Tomato & Avocado would still be yummy choices. Also, when you load up on all the extras…it’s just delicious! Now all I have to do is try to get them to make a vegan patty.

What an interesting concept! I never hear of it before, and it sounds neat on how they do their ordering system.
Looks delicious!

I’ve seen one of these before, but never been. Bummer about the black bean patty! But still good options for vegans. Yay!

I love Which Wich! Half because I don’t have to explain to someone I don’t want cheese, but also because avocado belongs on sandwiches.
I’m glad to see another vegan enjoy it.

Interesting place. That stinks about the patty! Can’t wait to hear about the other sandwiches!

Those are popping up all over Houston. We’ve been there a couple of times but my boyfriend thinks the sammiches are too small and he’s usually still hungry afterward. We enjoy writing fake names on the bags

Thanks for that info on Which Which. It’s a shame about the black bean patty and the honey in the wheat bread. I’ve only been once (and it was months ago), but I had the hummus and bell peppers with lots of veggies added on and I remember it being pretty good. Or at least I was thankful to find something I could eat after a long day of shopping

Having honey and egg whites is a problem. Please get a life. Eat a cow, or even better some venison. Yum!!

“They are both vegan, except the wheat bread does have honey in it, which technically means that’s not vegan”
Yeah, and the hamburgers at McDonald’s are vegan too, except that they do have cow flesh in them, which technically means that they’re not vegan.
