Chris: Bad news, seems Benders is no longer doing the Weird Fish action, and apparently even Weird Fish is serving a lot less of their previously delicious vegan food… boo!

I used to love WF, but then they screwed me one too many times and I ended up writing one of those bad reviews you mentioned. The thing is, the Buffalo Girls are awesome and I miss them. I have actually started making my own, which is great, but sometimes I’m out and I want some damn hot wings. So here’s my little secret, a couple blocks away from WF is a bar called Benders (22nd and S.Van Ness). They have a satellite WF kitchen, live music, punk rock jukebox, and no WF lines, disappointments, or attitude, plus the portion sizes are larger and cheaper. They do have sushi one night of the week so check before you go. And, fyi, the tofu scramble at WF is to be avoided at all costs! Their potato bowl of stuff thing is also not good (not hot, not flavored, big pile o’ cold mush). In the spirit of the grass always being greener, I have to say your site makes me wish I lived back home in LA now that I’m vegan—SF just can’t hold a candle to all the choices you’ve got down there.

I’ve never had fish and chips- vegan or otherwise, but Red Bamboo in NY has incredibly delicious and authentic fish sticks served with tartar sauce & fried shrimp served with cocktail sauce. Their wings aren’t too shabby either!

I’ve heard of this place but haven’t been there yet. Now I really want to go. Thanks for the review! :-)
