Is this a punishment? Did a vegan turn them down for prom and they swore eternal vengeance?

Not to ruin restaurants for you forever but I know a place where they would purposefully fuck with their vegan guests by sneaking in animal products to all of their vegan dishes as an “epic” inside joke among the kitchen staff

wouldn’t this violate several food safety laws to put stuff into people’s food without telling them?

Very much so. If someone pulled that shit around me that would be their last day working there.

What’s with the trend of “fuck you for caring about x” laws?

It wasn’t even an intentional fuck you but I worked at a pizza restaurant when I was a teenager that had sausage you had to pull apart and it would cling to your hands so people would dunk it into the pineapple or tomato tubs because the citric acid would prevent the stickiness.

As a vegan working a kitchen that does have vegan options, I am SUCH a hard ass about stuff like that. You shouldn’t cross contaminate food anyway.

Went to chipotle and saw the dude make my burrito with the same gloves that grabbed cheese :/.

W-where are the beans? The rice?

No beans, only broccoli. Isn’t this what you people want?

It’s egregious that these are missing. It could literally just be a bean and rice burrito and that’s it.

Also it might be sacrilege but some roasted sweet potato adds a nice flavor and texture to “Mexican” food

Have a place near here who instead of just… having beans… lists zucchini as their only non-meat… “protein”. I’m like JUST. GIVE. ME. BEANS.

What is this aversion to beans? People love them, they’re cheap, they’re easily stored, and they show up in fucking burritos. It’s like the word vegetarian means something different when writing a menu.

They probably cook or buy their beans with animal fat and can’t be bothered to make a vegetarian/vegan version. Which is unfortunate. It’s exactly why places like Chipotle have black beans as an alternative to the pinto. It’s easy and gives variety at the cost of nothing really.

I believe chipotle stopped using pork in their pinto beans a while ago. Same for Moe’s.

But yeah, that is always a concern with rice and beans because… uhg.

American cuisine’s attitude towards plant-based meals is just an aversion to learning. Oh can’t have meat? We’ll give you cheese. Oh can’t have cheese? Um vegetables are vegetarian! 😃

And then if you’re lucky they will buy some crappy frozen faux meat that they don’t know how to prepare properly.

Over here, if you are lucky, it’s mostly “here, have some tofu and be grateful it’s an option”. But it’s not a properly prepared tofu - they basiclly just take it out of the package and heat it up.

So far when I had tofu or seen someone havenit somewhere, it was good once

Now I can’t stop thinking how to make that burrito slap…

Cut the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil and salt, then roast at 400f for 35 or 40 minutes.

Cut the carrots into long slices and pickle them in vinegar and water with a little sugar and salt. Let rest for a day.

Slice the onions and low fry till carmelized.

Fry the broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms in a pan with some garlic and salt.

Wrap in a tortilla with some refried beans and season with hot pepper flakes.

For sure they aren’t. All those veggies are probably straight out of the cooler. A shame, cause there are so many ways to improve it. Just throw them all in a giardiniera and stick that in a wrap with some humus. Low effort and the ingredients would store for a while. Sigh.

I ordered it once maybe 15 years ago because the menu didn’t list the ingredients and I’ll carry that scar for the rest of my life.

They charge $19 now so it was probably around $10 when I got it.
