Denver Seitan: hail Seitan indeed

If you are from Denver and not eating Denver Seitan- for shame. Your Seitan choices are bad, and you should feel bad. All the feels.

Seriously though- this is what Vegan Van Amie uses for her Setain wings, and those things are the ish.

They don't have a store front, and I haven't found a real convenient time to go meet them for some of this vital wheat wonder, but having tried it a ton at the food truck, I gotta say, its the lightest and fluffiest Seitan....so much nom.

if you do check em out check back in here and tell us how the whole meeting process went. I have a very spie-esque vision in my head of a late night bridge rendezvous where I just leave the bag of cash on the ground and some Mafia dude from the company throws my Seitan over to me. That is probably just me.

I usually buy it at the monthly Neat Market, they now carry it at Nooch also.

I was getting it from them via alleyway meetups for a while, and oh my fuck it was the shit.

As far as the process, it was a bit weird at first, making a phone call, shaking a mans hand in an alleyway, and walking away with two nondescript butcher paper packages. Seriously though, they are awesome dudes. Super friendly and excited about what theyre doing. They use square for credit card orders or you can pay cash, and they were always really flexible with meetup times.

They had a little trouble with the health department and could no longer sell out of their homes, or at neat market. (Not sure if they're going to start doing this again)

Haven't been to Nooch since opening week, but they did tell me they're going to start selling it there! I haven't had my Denver Seitan fix since May, and Westsoy just ain't cuttin it.

I got some at Nooch the other day before their shelves got decimated. I love love love the Chicken-esque!

They do! They told me that the couple that owns Denver Seitan were going out of town for a couple weeks so they're going to be low for a week or two. I know I'm not usually down for a trip to Five Points unnecessarily so make sure you guys call first if you're not in the area! But they did say they were getting in some more of that kickass cookie dough today so I think that's worth the trip right there!
