Sandwich of the Week: City Bakery’s Barbecued Tofu — Yes, TofuEver since man discovered tofu, he’s been trying to trick himself into thinking it’s meat.

There is good fake-meat tofu (Chinese mock duck, the Unchicken Buffalo Wings at Kate’s Joint in the East Village), and bad fake-meat tofu (the Tofurkey).
