Well done! Ahead of Father’s Day (June 21), PETA is spotlighting the best vegan steaks from restaurants across the U.S. with its inaugural A Cut Above vegan steak awards—and Englewood’s own V Revolution has made the list. The meat-free restaurant’s mouthwatering Yakisoba Sandwich features a juicy black pepper steak, garnished with tender bell peppers, onions, carrots, and chives.

According to restaurant owner Howard Wang, V Revolution opened its doors in 2020, during the peak of COVID, with a simple mission: to create plant-powered food that’s truly “indistinguishable.”

“Vegan food can be just as satisfying, bold, and crave-worthy as anything else,” Wang says. 

“V Revolution is serving up a sensational plant-powered yakisoba sandwich that’s kind to cows and bursting with delicious flavor,” says PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk. “Every vegan steak on PETA’s list is a prime pick, perfect for treating dad, or any special father figure, to a celebratory feast that leaves animals in peace.”

Cows have friends and mourn when a loved one dies or when they’re separated from each other. In the meat industry, they’re crammed into filthy sheds and feedlots, endure routine mutilations including tail docking, castration, and dehorning often with no painkillers, and are slaughtered at just a fraction of their natural lifespan. Every person who goes vegan saves the lives of nearly 200 animals each year and reduces their own risk of developing heart disease and cancer. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help those looking to make the switch.

V Revolution will receive a framed award certificate from PETA along with bragging rights. Other “A Cut Above” winners include Steak Marsala at Spirit Elephant in Winnetka, Illinois; Premium Vegan Filet at Vinyl Steakhouse in New York City; Steak Frites at Vegan Food House in Dallas, Texas; and Seared Steak + Fingerling Potatoes at Oleum in Baltimore, Maryland.

V Revolution is located at 3570 South Logan St., in Englewood, and is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that when it comes to the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a cow is a dog is a boy. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
