Throwback to Earth Day 2024. You, me, and Tender beef short rib bowls on the quad in the sun before our midterm. That was love.

Built like barbacoa, made from plants. Where's someone gotta go for the best tacos in this city?

Can you spot the odd one out?

We make meat from plants. But we're people who love cooking low-and-slow-braised, pulled, whole-muscle cuts: the kind you're excited to sear and serve on top of grits, tostadas, and salads. You won't find ground meat here 🤷‍♀️

Thinking about Fannie Farmer's prowess and belief for good food in our city today.

If only we could share a bowl . Or maybe she's more a sando person.

Thinking about Julia Child's iconic loyalty to Savenor's, just a street over from Tender HQ. If she were here in the Boston of today, we'd have said hi with our braised short rib.

An earthquake in Boston?! Might be from our new menu drop at ⚡️Soul food meets empanada perfection: our plant-based BBQ pulled pork, spicy collards, and mac & cheese wrapped in their legendary dough. It's vegetarian. It's comforting. Find this earth-shaking collab at .market 😋 📸:

‪Just a little over a week more of the Vegan Mamaleh's Pop Up , ending December 29! What a nostalgic, creative run of deli favorites it has been. We were touched by the love you had for the rendition of our plant-based chicken schnitzel and short rib sandwiches. Thank you for choosing plants to make comfort meals even better

Whether you celebrate with sliders, jollof rice, bao, katsu, biryani, arepas, or shawarma, we hope you get to spend some Tender time with loved ones and nature. We're so grateful to be able to be a plant-based part of your favorite meals, and more is to come. Happy Thanksgiving!
