Salvation Sandwiches

Submitted by clex on Sun, 12/02/2007 - 9:57am. Restaurants | Hipsters | UT

When I first moved to Austin, one of my best friends was a vegetarian. Since I was new in town, I followed him around for awhile. That meant eating vegetarian meals, something very new to the Texas carnivore. There were a couple of places that I recall but mostly it was the "avocado and sprouts on whole wheat" that we would get at Salvation Sandwiches. That was the complete experience: the hippie food, the hippie food vendors, the hippie mentality. All in all, a very proper lesson in the culture of my new home.

Health Kitchen in the 70's

I loved that place, I think it was on 6th Street, they tore it down to build some monstrosity... it had way cool art, and awesome healthy selections for lunch.

Flapjack Canyon was indeed at Guadalupe & MLK for a short while, a location that was originally The Night Hawk.

Uncle Van's and the Plantation

Submitted by Terry on Tue, 12/16/2008 - 3:42pm.

The pancake place directly across MLK (um... 19th St.) was Uncle Van's, but the 24 hr. joint of choice was across the street, at San Antonio and Guadalupe -- the Plantation.

The world's problems were solved many times over (at least on a policy level) over late-night cups of coffee there.

Uncle Van's was where the Wendy's is now at San Antonio and MLK. Plantation is now Mr. Gatti's
