Love Food Central's Pulled BBQ Sandwich Pairs Jackfruit & Sourdough

— June 22, 2017 — Lifestyle
Like all menu items served at Love Food Central in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Pulled BBQ Sandwich is entirely plant-based. Rather than being stacked with authentic pulled pork, the Pulled BBQ Sandwich is loaded with savory jackfruit shreds, arugula and avocado that's topped with soy-free Vegenaise and a barbecue sauce. The plant-based sandwich is also served alongside a colorful side of coleslaw.

The alternative barbecue sandwich features a unique blend of ingredients that richly complement and build upon one another. For instance, while the barbecue sauce is said to have a slightly acidic in quality to it, the creamy flavor of the avocado balances it out.

In terms of looks, the jackfruit-based sandwich boasts the same look as a regular meat-filled sandwich, appealing to both devoted vegans and those willing to try a hearty plant-based meal.
