My leg still hurts. So, I'm being a lazy ass, trying the R.I.C.E.VBD strategy- Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Veggie Burger Delivery.
Where to go? I did the find-a-food search on Menu Pages for veggie burgers in the Upper East Side. There were a lot. I weeded out the diners, bars, and got down to more vegetarian places or sandwich shops. I came to Wrap Star. I've seen this pop up on Seamless and Menu Pages but always ignored it. I think because I hate the name. It could also be because there is a place I've walked by in the 70's that spell the word "wrap" wrong on their sign. They had "wrapp". I knew I would never eat there and for some reason thought that was Wrap Star. Fortunately for them (and it turns out me), I realized I was confused. The place I was thinking of is on 3rd Ave.
So, I went to Seamless Web, which by the way, is the greatest invention ever and has made me become a person that will no longer order from a place that I have to actually call. Fortunately, those places are becoming fewer and fewer. Anyway, Wrap Star had a veggie burger wrap and sweet potato fries (the latter becoming almost as important for me to try now as the former). So, that's what I got. A half hour later, I was forced out of my RICE position to answer the door and get my VB. It looked good from the getgo.
It was in a wheat wrap (I was given the choice of 3 kinds). It was held together nice, nothing is worse than a wrap that falls apart. Ok, there are many things worse, like war and oil leaks, but it still sucks! The wrap had pickles, lettuce, and tomato in it. I was concerned there was no sauce and I wasn't going to be able to open it up and put some on without failing in getting it closed again. Turns out, it didn't need any sauce. The burger itself was very flavorful. I am not certain what it was, but there was a great mix of veggies: zucchini, carrots, corn, potatoes, and more. I really want to say it had TVP (textured vegetable protein) in it as it's binder, but I'm not really sure. Whatever it was, it was great. It had a really good consistency, and the potatoes were a nice addition to the mix. The whole sandwich together was really good too.
All in all, I learned an important lesson today. Don't judge a restaurant by the lameless of it's name. I guess that means I will be eating at Yummy Sushi at some point afterall.
P.S. the sweet potato fries were AWESOME!!!
