Fine Dining Restaurants Embracing Veganism

Earlier this week, we highlighted the story
of Todd Gray, chef-owner of Equinox in D.C., whose newfound passion for
creating delicious vegetable dishes has culminated in a monthly “Vegan Smackdown
Challenge.

While there is a variety of all-vegan fine dining
restaurants around the country, Forbes
is spotlighting the growing vegan options at other fine dining establishments
that also sell meat and seafood.

According to the article, “In the past, if you were vegan or
dining with a vegan, you had to let the chef know in advance so the team could
prepare. These days, more restaurants are starting to realize the importance of
this market and chefs are proactively taking the opportunity to create main
dishes where vegetables take the spotlight.

Fueled by a desire to protect animals and their own health,
the number of vegans is steadily rising; it’s no surprise that the tide is
turning and more and more vegan options are becoming widely available.

Cows, pigs, and other farmed animals suffer miserably on
modern farms where they’re subjected to extreme confinement, mutilations without painkillers, and ruthless slaughter.

Forbes makes it
clear: a delicious fine dining experience that doesn’t harm animals has never
been easier.
