Charlene,

Real meat takes real lives and cause animals real pain. That is the real reason people become vegetarian. They sacrifice their taste to save some lives. I don't like fake meat myself but I really respect those who like meat yet still become vegetarian in whatever ways they can. ]]>

This restaurant may be vegetarian, but it's far from healthy. All that mock meat is full of preservatives and artificial flavours. Everything is made of soy, which is really too bad. I'll stick to Live and Rawlicious. ]]>

all hail suprememaster!

some people who comment on here are so self-righteous... wtf mate, who cares if there is TVP on the loose, nobody is forcing it down your throat!  No matter how much you'll hate it, there is a demand for it, and people will eat it.. if you don't like it, don't eat it!

I agree that this suprememaster cult is harmless and wierd...]]>

BTW, this is the cult I was referring to.  Pretty harmless, but still weird.

The people who run this place are members of a weird religious cult, and have a satellite tv station broadcasting their Supreme Master's propaganda non-stop.  The food is decent, but the service was borderline useless.  High points-their fries and their smoothies.

To Paul: King's Cafe is amazing, but haven't they gone out of business? That "renovation" seems suspect.

As for the whole fake meat debate, I've been veggie for 13+ years and I don't miss meat, I like veggie substitutes but I don't have any mental association with them and the real thing.  They are just a tasty veggie entree.

At least from the photos, I get the impression that the food is really, really bland.

The first photo looks decent, but the second one looks like the soy-chicken thing on some lettuce, brown rice and boiled veggies...the third photo has a similar formula too...



As a meat-eater who sometimes eats vegetarian meals, I'm not too impressed. King's Cafe seems to quite a bit more creative. I just wish they'd sell those Popiahs they sold at the Harbourfront Centre at their actual location...]]>

I've been vegetarian for seven years and at no point did I want my food to look like meat. I would not want a hamburger patty shaped like a banana, painted yellow, and perfumed with banana fragrance, and I do not want soy fixings shaped like a hamburger, given arbitrary grill marks, and smoked. 

Fake meats represent a lack in culinary innovation. It makes the goal accuracy instead of deliciousness and that's just so fucking wrong. The only excuse for intentionally casting an ingredient as a poor substitute or unnatural imitation of something else is your grocery supplier dying. 

It reminds me of a push-up bras. Don't make me a bra that requires fakery to be sexy. Just make me a sexy bra. 

Don't make me a dish that requires fake meat to be satisfying. Just make me a satisfying dish.

Generally this can be accomplished by throwing everything in a deep fryer.]]>

I beg to differ. Isn't the point of going veg to reduce consuming animals?

As one myself (lacto-ovo-veg) I see the veg patties and veg hot dogs as a way to wean off the real thing. Almost comparable to the nicotine patches. Personally, I only eat veg burgers and patties once in a while, or if it's the only veg option other than the stir-fry. (Heck, I'm Chinese, I can make my own stir-fry that's better than regular resto fare.)

The second thing of having these veg products is that it's a way of ensuring that the veg crowd are accommodated to the usual fare (Burgers and hot dogs) at social events.

I believe that the reason for TVP products to taste like meat because vegetarians are requesting it is questionable.]]>

Real meat *is* awesome. That's why many vegetarians would like to see veggie products that taste as much like real meat as possible.]]>

Actually, some vegetarians don't eat meat because they don't like it, believe me. Others do it for health, or environmental, or cruelty reasons. But I know more than a few that don't eat it because they don't like it.]]>

I am all for people making an effort to eat less meat, but I am not such a fan of the veggie fare that requires quotes around it... like 'steak'.]]>

Christielea, 

Vegetarians don't stop eating meat because they don't like what it looks like. You know the real reasons.]]>

I really don't get the point of TVP (textured vegetable protein). If you're going to put so much time and effort reconstituting vegetables into something vaguely resembling meat, you might as well admit you like meat and enjoy the real deal.]]>

I don't know what the dish above is but I can assure you that the food there is amazing! A varied menu but they pull it all together.  Try the royal noodle soup and if you're into the mock stuff their chick'n is fantastic! After ten years of living in Toronto I've finally been able to settle on a favorite restaurant.]]>
