Cafe Gratitude:
On my recent trip to Los Angeles, my friend and I were looking into where to eat. Cafe Gratitude came up. They have been doing plant-based for, like, decades. But recently, vegans have boycotted the collection of vegan restaurants owned by Matthew Englehart, including Cafe Gratitudes in Los Angeles, Newport, Venice and San Diego, Sage Vegan Bistro (which I really enjoyed), also in Los Angeles, as well as Gracias Madre in San Francisco. Why? Owners are not vegan anymore. In fact, Englehart proudly posted a video of himself eating his first hamburger in 40 years, justified by his wife’s nonsensical babble:
Cows make an extreme sacrifice for humanity but that is their position in God’s plan as food for the predators. Cows maintain the grass, predators maintain the herd by culling the weak and sick. We can be part of that sacrament. Sacrifice is part of life. As in the passion of Christ, we all have to spill our blood for humanity to know the Father. The cow’s sacrifice was been ordained, ours we must choose. ~Terces Engelhart

Bamboo Garden:
I used to love Bamboo Garden when I lived in Seattle. True, that was a lifetime ago, when I had weird eating habits. It always remained in my mind as a part of food past and it was probably one of the first places I took pictures of my dinner.
But in recent news, they have been subject of a shocking expose that includes dumpster diving and scientific food analysis. This very comprehensive report and pictorial blew it up. They have been serving non-vegan food, perpetrating a front. Kind of sickening.
Pure Food & Wine:
And finally, Pure Food and Wine’s Sarma was apprehended recently. She had been missing for quite some time after not paying her employees and running off with investors’ money. But even more scandalous than that, she and her husband were busted after receiving a delivery from Domino’s Pizza.
