The Original Soul Vegetarian, a vegan Southern and soul food restaurant, has been “serving food as medicine” in the Chatham area for 40 years. But they renovated and revamped in 2021, and are now known as Soul Veg City. This new incarnation offers both takeout and dine-in, with deli-style dishes and a hot station. That’s where you can get dishes like smothered seitan steak and gravy, cornbread dressing, and delicious vegan mac and cheese.
