Soy to the World


I love Japanese food.

Sometimes, however, my body CRAVES a big, juicy burger full of flavor...and calories.
So I was so delighted when I came across this sandwich joint with a twist: everything on the menu is made from organic Tofu.

"Tofu Room Dy's".
What a clever name.

For those of you who don't speak Japanese,
"daizu"(pronounced "DAI-ZOO") is the word for soy bean, the main ingredient in Tofu.

This high protein-low calorie power food is one of Asia's godly creations.
While most Americans are used to it being served as a stir fry dish, Dy's takes a different approach.

Their menu is full of creative tofu ideas, everything from tofu chips to rich desserts like tofu cheese cake.

Personally, I'm a big fan of their tofu sandwiches/burgers where the "patty" is literally a slice of tofu.
Drained and/or sautéed to perfection, the texture is similar to that of feta cheese.
It may sound slightly odd, but it surprisingly complements the vegetables and bold sauces very well.

Great option for all you vegans/vegetarians too.
