There is a thread on Eatitandloveit for the best places to get Tofu. I recently realized the disservice we are doing to the internets by not providing a similar list for Seitan. So with no further delay, where to get good Seitan dishes, in no particular order or preference.
1) Spak Bros - Seitan wings, Seitan Melt, and on pizza Seitan sausage. They also have seitan pepperoni but we prefer the seitan sausage. They have soy cheese pizza too, though that is not seitan related.
2) Double Wide Grill - Seitan Wings (Good beer selection as well)
More to come! I'll monitor the comments and add things as people mention them.

Recently I have been talking about tofu a lot. I remember back in my early days of being a vegetarian when I severely hated tofu. The problem is tofu isn’t easy to make. Good tofu is uncommon, great tofu is exceedingly rare. So the most common tofu is not very good. I decided I should compile a list of my favorite places to get tofu. But not just the place to get it, because I’ve found even though one tofu dish maybe great another can be mediocre. So I am compiling a list of dishes and locations. I will update it as I find more. Also these are listed in no particular order, I consider them all of equal greatness.
1) the Quiet Storm (Pittsburgh) – Graham Street Tofu
2) the Quiet Storm (Pittsburgh) – Tofu Tenders (appetizer)
3) China Palace (Pittsburgh) – Sizziling Tofu
4) Angkor (Pittsburgh) – Crispy Tofu Triangles (appetizer)
5) Angkor (Pittsburgh) – Fresh spring rolls (appetizer)
6) Thai Gourmet (Pittsburgh) – Tao Hu Todd (appetizer)
7) Veggie Planet (Boston) - Tofu Scramble (brunch)
8) Sweet Basil & La Filipiniana (Pittsburgh) – Thai Pumpkin Tofu Curry (Special)
9) Chaya (Pittsburgh) – Tofu Teriyaki
10) Chaya (Pittsburgh) – Inari (Nigiri Sushi)
11) Pacific'O (Lahaina, Maui, HI) - Blackened Tofu
12) Teppanyaki Dan's (Lahaina, Maui, HI) - Teppan Tofu
Feel free to drop a comment listing your favorite tofu dish, or even a tofu related experience. This post will be on the Suggestions page. I will cross-reference it to the restaurants mentioned above also.

Post suggestions you have for the site here. These should be more about layout, navigation, ideas for links, etc. - not about what restaurants you'd like us to review.
I've been working on trying to get a 3-column layout going for awhile (menus on either side and entries in the middle) to try and break up the long list on the left hand side, but I haven't had much success yet. If any MT gurus out there want to chime in with advice - I would be grateful!
Thanks!
