I’m not a vegan, but I’ve eaten at a few vegan restaurants that were highly rated. The delicious vegan food that you’re talking about already exists, but most people will never go to a vegan restaurant over a non-vegan one.
Yeah, it’s a hard ask for most people. I’m an adventurous eater, so I’ll usually try any new place at least once. And I have gone to a really great full vegan restaurant and loved it. It was my cousin’s birthday, and I was just not able to cook for him the way I usually do, so I asked him if he knew anywhere.
Anyway, it was me, him, his gf, and his mom. Nobody else in the family would go. Which, tbh, we don’t usually do restaurants for things like that, so that was part of it. But it definitely points to what you said. Most of my family is pretty chill about him being vegan, we try to make sure he’s fed at gatherings and the like, don’t give him grief. But asking any of them to show up there instead of my place, even with the money part covered, it just wasn’t happening.
And if you can get a vegan meal at the Burger Barn or Grills R Us, which is just as good as corpse, then it’s a lot easier for vegans and vegan-curious carnists
Dude. The whole “carnist” thing? Just don’t. It’s a bad look. It ain’t a religion, or if it is, then veganism is too, and that’s how I usually bait the hell out of the silly vegans when I’m trolling. Carnist is just another word that separates people into outsiders and insiders, which is a horrible thing to do.
But, yeah, I’m fully behind good plant based options at any of the usual meat-centric places. I’ve worked in fast food and short order places before. It costs next to nothing extra to have the options available, and it’s a great way to make sure customers that don’t really want to be there have a pleasant memory of your establishment. It would cost more at a higher end place to keep the supplies in stock, but I still think it would be worth it.
Most of those chains aren’t mixing their burgers fresh anyway. It’s usually prepackaged and/or frozen. There’s no good reason to not have the option there.
