Vegan-friendly and plant-forward restaurants have popped up everywhere! From fast food to fine dining, restaurants have recognized that more and more people are seeking healthy vegan options.
If you find yourself in a restaurant with no visible vegan-friendly options on the menu, ask if the chef is up for creating something off-menu for you. Often, a chef will embrace the opportunity.
