Sometimes meat is…overrated. I’m all for a big juicy steak or rack of ribs, but occasionally  your taste buds need a refresh. Plus with Lent upon us, you may need some non-meat options this season! We’ve scoured the city for the best dishes sans meat, here’s our top picks:

4 RiversSmokehouse

  • What to Order: Limited-time only Tuna Melt: Homemade tuna salad, lightly smoked albacore tuna, celery, chopped eggs, pickles, tomatoes and onion. All served on a hoagie bun topped with melted provolone cheese. Available only on Fridays during Lent!

The COOP

  • What to Order: Go Southern at this Winter Park concept when you order their Fried Catfish & Grits with a side of hoppin’ john –  we’re obsessed with this side for the record.
