The Buona Companies, owner and operators of the famous Chicago Family-Owned restaurant group, is introducing a Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich. This vegan-friendly option retails for $7.99 and is available at all 24 Buona locations in Chicago and Indiana for a limited time beginning April 26th.
The vegan sandwich is inspired by Buona’s classic Italian beef – from the bread to the “beefless” Seiten meat to the veggie-based gravy and giardiniera. Every aspect of this sandwich is plant-based, vegan friendly, and prepared separately to ensure no cross contamination with non-vegan products. Since the “beef” is a core ingredient to the new Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich, the Buonavolanto family collaborated with Chicago-based seitan maker Upton’s Naturals to craft the perfect “beef” for the sandwich.
The sandwich provides 43 grams of plant-based protein and is paired with an exclusive vegan gravy, made from authentic Buona Italian spices, a vegetable-based broth and olive oil for added juiciness.
