Customers can sample vegan dishes offered by local restaurants and can vote for their favorite items at the restaurant or online.
The month-long event challenges chefs at local restaurants to compete for votes with different creative plant-based menu options. With veganism currently on the rise, it’s also a way for vegans to get more food options and for restaurants to have more customers.
“Animal welfare was definitely one of the main and foremost reasons why I became vegan and seeing that there were no other vegan restaurants in the entire state, opening this up — I like to think that I can make it a lot easier and comfortable for people to take that step into veganism,” Brown said.All of the restaurants participating in the Vegan Chef Challenge will also feature special vegan menu items.
“Our number one goal is to make veganism easy, and so that’s what we hope, is that the Vegan Chef Challenge helps people considering it to take that first step and dip their toe in the water of going vegan,” Bury said.COVID-19 doesn’t make things any better, she said, but hopes the event will help boost their business, as well as turn people on to a different eating lifestyle.
