I was trying to find a clean, inviting spot to take a break and stretch
my legs in the midst of a long road trip so I stopped at Publix and was shocked to see a vegan sub on the deli marquee, right there next to the extremely popular meat-filled subs. The deli worker seemed just as shocked when I ordered it and was flustered finding all of the ingredients, leaving her post in search of a bag of seasoned tofu cubes and one huge avocado.
She asked me twice if I wanted mayo and mustard and I kept stressing that I wanted to try the exact sub as featured on the menu. I got the half-size (still HUGE) on multigrain bread, stuffed with the garlicky tofu cubes, sliced avocado and vegan ranch dressing. We added veggies to it and I ate the whole mess in my car, which now needs a good cleaning.
So proud of Publix to take this important step into the future. I'm going to look for it at my local store and hope the ordering process is easier.
