The owner even sold her house to keep the place afloat but the leftists still ate their own. Oh well. | |||

Yeah, doesn't sound very vegan of them. | |||

Vegans are too small a customer base to build long term business on. There was a vegan restaurant here (Vegan Town). It lasted maybe six months. Meanwhile, the Italian restaurant and the Jersey Mike's in literally the same building, as well as the Zaxby's a few hundred feet away, do a brisk business. | |||

I really don't blame the vegans for being upset. What if a kosher or halal restaurant snuck pork into their food? Or if the local Olive Garden served horse meat? (Now, I don't have a problem with eating horse, but I know a LOT of people would). Or if I had dietary restrictions against eating poultry (like an allergy) and the local burger joint was putting chicken into the beef to cut costs. . . People had expectations of what they were ordering and the restaurant violated their trust. I would be offended, too. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

It’s not like the vegan restaurant was sneaking meat into what they claimed was vegan food, they rebranded and added menu items with meat in them. This was driven by the need to attract more business to stay open. If the thousands of people who trashed them online actually ate there they wouldn’t have needed to rebrand in the first place. Typical behavior of the few vegans I know, after forcing them out of business, they will bitch about there not being any vegan options for dining out. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

Oh, well, that's different. (I obviously didn't read the linked story). In this case, they are just being stupid. I don't complain that my favorite burger place also serves chicken. Or that the pizza place has a chicken finger basket. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

To each their own. We seem to be obsessed with what each other is doing.at all times. And every damn thing is recorded. What others eat is none of my business. | |||

Such protests are just about getting a degree of control over other people’s lives, and which is a strong motivator for collective (mob) action. There is nothing new or different about that in human societies. What changes over time is the makeup of the groups that are permitted to exercise that power. What never fails to strike me as odd about some people’s business decisions is how out of touch they can be. A main street restaurant in my small town that had existed in its then-current form since the 1930s and had been probably the most popular with locals was purchased a few years ago and completely remodeled. It also converted to a total vegan menu to the point that the ersatz cream substitute they offered wouldn’t even mix properly in a cup of coffee. Restaurants always have difficulty making it through our long winters when there is limited through-town traffic. Although we have more than our share of fuzzy-brained leftists, a lot of them don’t have much money for dining out regularly. So, as I predicted from day one, the vegan place lasted a couple of years (longer than I expected, actually) before being sold and converting back to real food with a “promise” to maintain vegan offerings. But because it had completely lost its long time clientele in the “plant-based” era, it’s still not doing well these days. ► 6.4/93.6 “Most men … can seldom accept the simplest and most obvious truth if it … would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions … which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabrics of their lives.” — Leo Tolstoy | |||

Apparently the restaurant(s) has been in business for 13 years, and survived the brutal CA Covid govt.lockdowns also. But I'm guessing the Biden economy, new minimum wage laws, new taxes, etc have forced the restaurant to change its business model and of course, the vegans, like Antifa, smelled blood. And like Antifa, these vegans are savages, just horrible people.

I imagine if my favorite steakhouse added a vegan option I would simply go…”hmmm, okay”. Seems pretty drastic. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Exactly... I've been to plenty of restaurants that offer a vegan *option*, but these militants don't want people to have choices. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

And that’s the difference between these creeps and rational people. I likely wouldn’t go to a vegan restaurant on purpose but if I went to a place and there was a vegan section in the menu. Me and everyone I know would be meh. it also seems lost on these protesters that THEY not going their often enough to support the shop are the reason they closed. Not the other way around. | |||

I am a meat eater, mostly chicken and fish and BACON. With that said; there is a vegan restaurant in my old home town that has the absolute best vegan burrito that tastes out of this world and you would never know it is vegan. It's almost worth a 6-hour drive to get one. Delicious. And now, back to the meat eaters....

Yup. Many places wife and I eat at show gluten free and vegan options on the menu. I do not order those because of those options (order them cause they are tasty) but, see how it could increase business traffic. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
