Q: What does the DC stand for?
A: It’s a two-part answer. 1) We moved here from Washington, DC in July of 2008. 2) The D and the C are also our initials!
Q: What’s the best way to unwrap and eat a Steak and Cheese?
A: Don’t just unwrap the entire thing! It works best if you unwrap a little of the paper at a time, starting with an inch or so off the top, a la a burrito. If you want to sit down and eat it, we can give you a fork.
Q: What is your homemade burger made out of?
A: The burger is more Boca-esque than vegetable-y. It contains vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, oats, TVP, ketchup, spices, olive oil and soy sauce.
Q: So, like, are all the sandwiches and stuff vegan?
A: No, we are all vegetarian but every sandwich can be made vegan. We do use mayonnaise and dairy cheese on the non-vegan versions. So, if you’d like your sandwich to be vegan, please use the word vegan when ordering your sandwich.
Q: What kind of breads do you have?
A: We have sandwich breads, including a varying brand of white/potato, Dave’s Killer Cracked Wheat, Dave’s Killer Rockin Rye, white Franz burger buns and white Franz sub rolls. All our breads are vegan.
Q: Do you have any gluten-free items?
A: Yes, our soups are gluten-free, with the exception of our seitanic chili. The vegan chicken salad is also gluten-free, just order it served in a box with lettuce and tomato and without the sub roll.
Q: What is seitan?
A: It’s made out of wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, spices, vegetable broth and soy sauce. It’s basically just our fake steak. But, Wikipedia can probably explain better than we can.
Q: Any secrets [whispered] about ordering you care to share?
A: Why yes! You can sub spinach for lettuce and hummus for mayo or vegenaise for free. You can sub organic Dave’s Bread in place of our burger bun for 50 cents.
Q: Do you take cards?
A: Why yes! We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
Q: Do you have seating?
A: Kind of… there’s a picnic table behind Beez Neez Sausages that you can use. Also, the Waterfront is only about 3 blocks away and it has benches and pretty views.
Q: Your Twitter doesn’t say you’re closed, but you’re not answering my phone-in order. What gives?
A: We try to always update our website (and Twitter with any closings) so if we’re not answering the phone during normal business hours it’s because we’re really busy and the phone-in wait time will be over 30 minutes.
Q: I tried to make my own version of one of your sandwiches at home, but it wasn’t as good. What did I do wrong?
A: Did you remember to include love? Always make it with extra love.
