OB People’s Food Coop
Jul 24
The OB Peoples Food Co-op has been a solid bastion of organic awareness for many years. It is one of the best food co-ops I have seen and have shopped there since coming to San Diego six years ago. Running around and in need of a late lunch, I decided to swing by and try the restaurant on the second floor for the first time. It is a simple operation with counter service and food sold by the pound. Purchasing tastes of sesame tofu and mock chicken salad along with an avocado club sandwich, I was taking a quick-stop road-food approach and was not disappointed with my healthy vegan choices. The sesame tofu was sauteed with toasted sesame oil, thinly sliced green bell peppers and hulled sesame seeds. Surprisingly subtle in flavor, it was a pleasure to taste. The mock chicken salad is made with minced seitan, celery, onions and soynaise. The flavor was also balanced without too many onions, a common mistake. The best dish was the avocado club. The bread was fresh with a good California avocado, Fakin’ Bakin’, lettuce and cucumber. The textures and flavors came together in a very gratifying way. The meal was just what I needed, energizing me to continue errands.
