Eat Love was at the Long Beach Vegan District at The Pike when I tried them. But, I've also seen them at the North Hollywood Vegan Fest- where Lettuce Feast and Veggietize Me both set up! I've been meaning to try their fried chicken and finally had a chance in Long Beach.
Self Love Bucket, $16- three pieces of chicken and fries, with one sauce- I picked honey mustard. The chicken is house made with a wheat product. You get three good sized pieces! I bet the three pieces were close to 12 oz or more! The outside is a nice crunchy flavorful batter. If you used their batter with regular fried chicken, everybody would like it. Now, inside, texture wise it's very much like chicken. But, taste wise a bit too salty, and that's the chicken part, not the batter. It resembles the taste of chicken but, you know it isn't real chicken. The fries are nothing more than frozen fries from a bag. While the honey mustard sauce was pretty good, it was only half filled. They charge $1 for two sauces.
Service. While friendly, way too slow. People were waiting 20-30 minutes for their orders!
I wouldn't go back to Eat Love.
