 A small sample of Veggie Brothers many satisfied customers  

I received my first order today and I guess the only thing I can say is "delicious"!  I've been looking for a company like yours for a long time.... I've already shared your website to other vegetarian friends. Looking forward to indulging in the rest of the order.  Ron R - Rockaway, NJ

Hi Michael, Thanks for your kind note. I’m just glad there are people like you and Mark who can help me better keep to veganism. It requires so much time and effort to eat healthy food so you are a blessing! Have a great evening.     Suzanne B –Chicago, IL   

Each and every dessert, entree or side dish we sampled was exquisite; it tastes like home cooking - if you're an outrageously spectacular cook, that is. The site really does read more like a fine veg restaurant than an on-line store. The listings are extensive, and we look forward to eating our way through the menu...

Four spoons to veggiebrothers.com - and our only regret is that we've already consumed all of the delectable dishes they sent us! as reviewed by Sabrina Nelson, Co-Founder of VegSource.com

You guys are awesome! Even my husband, a regular meat eater, enjoyed the baked chicken nuggets, and my meatball hero dinner last night. Best wishes and very very good luck.-Amy R., Brooklyn, NY   "

I brought the Veggie Brothers Hot & Spicy Buffalo Wings over to a Super Bowl party where I was the only vegetarian. Everyone else was eating wings they had ordered from Cluck-U, and they were all complaining that there was no meat on the bones. So they wound up eating my wings.  They said they liked them a lot because they were tasty and were really meaty." Henry -Toms River NJ 

 Dear Veggie Brothers. We did receive the entire order and we did not like it.  We loved it!  As a person who was raised eating meat and being vegan for the past 15 years, I have memories of texture and taste that no other meat substitute ever quite fit.  Your product, especially the Soul Stix, could fool the most die hard carnivore. -Kevin S, Pittsburg PA

Hello Veggie Brothers.   

I just want to say that your food rocks!  I've been a vegan for 6 going on 7 years and what a treat it is to have gourmet products like yours.
 
I'd usually eat some fake meat that really tasted like, well, fake meat.  But your pioneer burger tastes better than the real thing.
 
I also enjoyed the drum sticks and nuggets.  I mean they are just perfect!  Plus no stupid bones to worry about.
 
One thing that I like is that you can cook a lot of your foods via boiling which prevents you from burning them.  Nothing like letting the food heat slowly through a nice slow long simmer.  You really get to experience the freshness of all the herbs and spices.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can't burn the flavor away.
 
I really enjoyed the meatballs and marinara with the pasta.  The meat balls are so big and plump and juicy.  Wonderful!
 
The crab cakes, flank and salisbury steaks were all top notch as well.  The herb roasted chicken was just delightful!
 
I thoroughly enjoy your food as you can see in the latest order I placed.
 
Thanks from Bill P in NY!    

Dear Veggie Brothers, I wanted to thank you for basically the best vegan food I have had in my  life! I had ordered grilled chicken with this herb sauce, southern  chicken drumsticks, had complimentary chili, and the seitan ribs. The  only disappointment was when I was finished eating it! I wanted more.

I'm 15 years old (16 on November 23rd!) and have been vegan for over a year, nothing has gotten better than this. I'm so excited to order more food  for the holidays so I can prove to my family that I don't eat rocks and grass. Thanks again!  Sincerely, Esperanza    

Dear Michael, We received your delicious food last Friday, and had a fun "sampling party" after work that day - and everyone LOVED the food!!! It was SO amazing - our absolute favorites were the drumsticks, the nuggets, and the crab cakes (my personal favorite)!! Thank you SO very much for sending - everyone was so impressed
 
Warm wishes,

Hi Mark and Michael. Just wanted to drop a line and say how WONDERFUL your chili is! Of course, I know you know this already. Since receiving my meals today is the first day I'm trying anything. I absolutely love it! I'm looking forward to trying everything else.   More importantly, I'm looking forward to completely changing my eating habits and adapting a vegetarian (or maybe even vegan) lifestyle. sounds a little far out there for me but I know it can be done with your cuisine to help (tremendously) and bit of focus.

Thanks again and I will be sending you another testimony (along with my reorder) when I finish with everything else

 -I have completed my taste test and I can say without a doubt  Veggie Brothers products are the best thing that has ever happened to becoming a plant eater.
Your friend, Howard Lyman (Author of "The Mad Cowboy" www.themadcowboy.com )

Growing up a vegetarian, most of the vegetarian "meats" (now that's an oxymoron) were produced by Worthington and Cedar Lake.  Morning Star Farm is part of the "Adventist" health food line also. Even though I enjoy a number of the products I was raised with - nothing compares to what you've been able to make. I was married to a meat eater and he never found the veggie-meats very convincing.  Even if they came close on the flavor, they could never get the texture right.  With the "chicken" products you produce, you have crushed that barrier.

Dear Michael,Anthony, Anna and I enjoyed your veggie meals very much. They are easy to prepare and very delicious. So far, we have tried the veggie steak, the soy chicken and the soul stix. The rest of the food is still in our freezer.  With love,Renate

Good afternoon Michael, First off I have to tell you I'm very impressed with the quality of your food! I received my first delivery Tuesday. So far,I have had the tofu crab cakes,Grilled Steak Au Jus, & Jambalaya. The pieces of vegetable in the Jambalaya were amazing!! The carrots were so fresh and tender. I placed another order this week and am looking forward to trying some new things.  Thanks again! Tracey R      

WOW! I just received your food & I tried the soy chicken nuggets & the drumstick & it is unbelievable!!!! I have been a vegetarian for almost 22 years & my husband just recently stopped eating meat & my 5 year old is also a veggie so I know my family is going to love it too! I will definitely be ordering again soon… Louise NJ

    I love that you guys exist!!!  Life is easy and delicious thanks to you!!!! -Christine M  

Hey Veggie BrothersI have been Vegan for 1 year now and loving every minute of it. I had recently tried your Southern Style drumstick and could not believe it was not real chicken. At first I had to check the package to make sure it was not chicken.  After I found out that it was in fact vegan, I was relieved and excited because it was not only delectable but I knew I could fool the people at work that always make fun of me for being vegan. So I brought some into work and went to the people that said all vegan food sucks and let them have one without saying anything.  I first words out of their mouth was “Hey you’re not vegan anymore?”  At that point I burst out laughing and told them it was vegan and where it came from.  They now apologize to me every day and ask when I am going to bring in more food from you guys.  Thank you for that and all your other great food.  I have not tried my whole order yet but everything I have tried has been nothing short of perfection….Joseph S. - Orchard Park, NY

Michael,We had the Soul Stix for dinner tonight.  They were delicious and baked perfectly.  Looking forward to the other meals!Take care,Joe 

"I have been green, vegan and organic for many years and I have tried every possible vegan food in the world during my many work and pleasure trips. Nothing compares to the Veggie Brothers gourmet foods! Veggie brother food selection is truly second to none. The taste, the texture, the recipes are unique. I can tell it' made with love! I love their healthy foods that taste like wonderful treats! I feed Veggie Brothers foods to everyone I know, vegetarian and omnivore and they all love it! These earthy and delicious foods are for everyone. I also released some weight and I now maintain my ideal weight, thanks to Veggie Brothers non-animal protein foods! You must try the steak and the mahi mahi" Elena P. –Winnetka, CA  

Hello Bro

Just to tell you, we just finished eating the Italian Sausage and Peppers family size for dinner. It was Delicious. It was way better then meat. Vegan

dish that Mark makes is so much better then meat cause there is no greasy feeling, that you get with meat.  I had a sandwhich and a half. I dont

over stuff the sandwich, but dad did, and mom made a decent size sandwich and there is so much food still left over. I like how you put more

sausage then peppers because I remember when we went to the Italian Festivals you always get more peppers then sausage.

We will be ordering this again soon and definitely the chicken nuggets because I like that for a quick lunch.

The Carona Family:

From Alma: The box where the food is packed is very insulated, excellent packing. The shipping as promised, the price for shipping very reasonable. This helps.

From Arantzazu: The food tastes like home made. The chicken nuggets taste like real chicken, she wished  I had ordered more. :(

From Arthur: About The chicken buffalo wings. "Are you serious,  it was vegetarian? it tasted just like chicken  Buffalo wings, Honestly, I even felt guilty, I thought I was eating chicken and I really want to be a vegetarian".
About the mashed potatoes: "I want more, those are really good".   

"My vegetarian friend introduced me to Veggie Brothers. I am not even vegetarian but I love Veggie Brothers foods. I have tried them all and they taste like the real things, such as steaks, chicken, seafood, pork, etc. I love that fact that they taste fresh and they are ready to eat! Being a young and single man, very busy with work, this solution is ideal for me. Also, I tend to forget to eat and fall underweight, but, now, I never forget my delicious Veggie Brothers meals :) The crab cakes and buffalo wings are some of my favorite!"

"All my life, I have been eating anything and everything. My vegetarian daughter served me a Veggie Brothers foods and I was very skeptical and I didn't want to eat it. My daughter asked me to try one bite. Well, many bites later, at my surprise, I couldn't stop eating! I still can't believe they are not animal foods, but they aren't! I really love Veggie Brothers foods, especially the soul sticks, chicken tenders and chicken cacciatore, Italian style :)"
Ernesta Ravenoldi from Italy

Hi Michael & Marc,The new e-newsletter looks really great!! I just wanted to compliment you on it. I also wanted to say that I had the BBQ ribs the other night and they were great!!Thanks, Tracy R  

Hello Michael    

 I just wanted to let you know that your site is a "dream come true" for me.  I guess I am one of those rare Vegans who does not cook, never enjoyed cooking, raised my kids before Veganism on fast food, eating out, and prepared meals.  I am a 51 year old housewife, married to a wonderful physician, and have been Vegan for 9 months.  I have lost 60 lbs. (5'2" weighing 110 lbs. now).  I have never felt healthier or happier with this ethical way of eating and living. 

We live in a town where Tennessee BBQ and greasy southern food is the norm.  I have to travel to Memphis to shop at a Wild Oats Market, which is an hour and half drive, so I rarely go.  Our local Kroger store is trying, they expanded their healthy food department, but I am still limited with only being able to purchase the high sodium frozen entrees by Amy's.  I have been surviving on Subway veggie subs, Moe's bean burritos, Fazoli's pasta with marinara sauce, cheese-less veggie pizza, veggie wraps, plain baked potatoes, or Chinese cuisine. 

It is very frustrating eating out in restaurants, so I have narrowed it down to a very few favorites.  Sometimes I can order a Vegan burger, but then the bun contains dairy.  I have actually ordered steamed broccoli, and had it steamed with butter!  How crazy is that?  By the time I ask for a salad without cheese, bacon bits, eggs and croutons I am left with some pitiful lettuce, maybe a cherry tomato, without dressing.  It is just to difficult and my menu options are very limited.    

Anyway...Your site offering prepared Vegan meals that I can trust, with no hidden ingredients for me to worry about, healthy and low sodium is a God-Send!  Your ultimate gourmet Vegan creation, The Wellington Supreme, sounds wonderful!  What a perfect choice for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dinner, not to mention Easter.  When we traditionally think of holiday meals, we remember turkey.  I guess I have not been Vegan long enough to forget those holiday habits.  Your idea of a Veggie Brothers Meatloaf feast encourages me to step outside the box and adapt a new holiday traditional meal.  

Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond.  Thank you for offering such a wonderful array of Vegan appetizers, soups, sides, and entrees for those of us in need.  I look forward to ordering and enjoying your Vegan versions of America's favorite classics and I look forward to all your new creations to come.  I am thankful I found your online Vegan restaurant.  :) Peace To All Beings,Christina C.- Jackson, TN    

I have been a vegetarian for over 25 years and your products are the best I have ever experienced in my life. You can count on me to be a customer for life and share this health food with all that I come in contact with.

It would be a wonderful blessing if the world meat eaters were exposed to your products.  Thank You and your entire team for everything.

Funny True Story Here is a funny true story a woman recently told us. She said she went on a date to a vegetarian restaurant with a guy that was a heavy meat eater and on that particular night the restaurant was only offering a buffet.  The guy took a look at the buffet and said "this vegetarian food looks kind of weird", so he passed on the buffet and was able to get the waitress to bring him out a burger.  It just so happens that Veggie Brothers supplies this restaurant with its burger product.

The burger came out with the standard accompaniments, and it not only smelled and looked good to him, but he took a few bites and enthusiastically said to the woman, "hey this is really good, would you like a bite?" It was so real to him that he then said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you are vegetarian".

The woman had a big laugh when she explained that they were in a vegetarian restaurant, which meant everything is 100% vegetarian, and the burger was not only vegetarian, but also vegan.

  The funny story has an even happier ending.  After the guy understood the burger he had eaten was vegan, he had an awakening and reconsidered the buffet. He wound up trying everything on the buffet and then going back for seconds.
