Tampa steakhouse gets plant-based cuts

Charley's Steak House in Tampa, part of the Talk of the Town Restaurant Group, has added whole-cut, plant-based steaks to the menu, according to a Monday news release from Chunk Foods, a non-meat producer founded in 2020.

The Orlando-based restaurant group — which includes Charley’s Steak House, FishBones, Texas Cattle Company and Vito’s Chop House — has six restaurants in Central Florida. Charley's Steak House in Tampa is located at 4444 W. Cypress St.

A Talk of the Town executive says the search for a non-meat menu item for vegetarian and vegan guests has taken more than a decade.
