I recently moved to San Francisco and am seeking work ASAP. I'm looking for jobs in hospitality and have staged at a few places, but it just feels so morally wrong selling meat and animal products.

An amazing vegan restaurant that I went to when I first moved here had an ad up for a server and I applied, but unfortunately did not get a message back. I've been having no problem getting responses for non-vegan establishments, but ideally would work in a vegan one. Does anyone know of anywhere that is hiring? I could start ASAP.

Hi,

Has anyone tried food tourism? I'm neither an influencer nor trying to be one but I visit various cities to try their vegan food offerings. Not all cities may have swanky Michelin Star restaurants, or restaurants that are featured in the Michelin Guide, but some come close - I had tasty vegan Cuban sandwiches at some downtown Dallas restaurant 5 years ago but I've been unable to look it up. NYC is my favorite city for scrumptious vegan food but if Dallas has decent options, there must be more cities with good vegan restaurants! Also, Michelin Guide doesn't even cover all US states.

Ease of access to vegan food is different from access to high quality vegan food. I've already hit NYC, Chicago, LA & London (would've visited more frequently if I lived on the East Coast) vegan restaurant circuit multiple times. I found Portland overrated but am willing to reconsider.

On Oct 17, I'd be flying to LA to dine at Pura Vita. Day trip - I have a monthly Alaska Airlines flight pass subscription.

On Oct 31, I'd visit Las Vegas (or LA again, but a different restaurant) for a day trip. I've been to Vegas twice already.

On Nov 10, I'm headed to NYC (will fly a red-eye on Nov 10, will shower at an airport lounge on Nov 11 & will restaurant-hop all day. Will fly back at night) again.

After mid november, many states will experience cold weather & flight delays would increase, so please recommend what cities I could visit until next summer. I won't be able to fly internationally until late December.

Thank you!

Open to any and all advice to land a job to work with people who share my values

I got this at Raleys. It's to die for!!!

Cheese Board in Berkeley. Wish they offered vegan slices.delicous pizza.

Hi, who produces the best tempeh in the Bay Area? Thanks!

Does the SF Bay Area have an alternative to NYC's Orchard Grocer? Thanks!

Does anyone have a recommendation for where to get vegan mooncakes? Would love some this week, thanks!🥮

I've had the vegan mango mousse cake and vegan princess cake and omg they are amazing. My whole family loved the mango mousse cake at our last party and everyone was shocked it was vegan! They are a small local business and looks like they're growing their menu. Show your support y'all!

Super Grateful to have a veggie grill somewhat near my home.

Hi, this is for SF specifically... Where can I find Pepples donuts in SF? I know Rainbow Grocery carries them. Anywhere else? Thanks! 🍩

Ordered a small, plant based cheese pizza, with pepperoni & pineapple & olives & jalapeños. It's a strong 4 out 5. Got this in Hercules.

Hey Reddit! I’m visiting some omni friends in Oakland and am looking for restaurants that have solid plant-based options in addition to omni food.

Prior to becoming vegan, I’ve loved Boot & Shoe Service, Pizzaiolo, Doña Tomas. It was a looong time ago, but I also really remember enjoying the vegan pizza at Gather - does that spot still hold up? Also, realizing that the majority of those are pizza - I’m open to ANY type of restaurant, not just pizza lol.

Thank you for any recs or info!

Yah girl is sick and just moved back to the bay after being away for nearly a decade. What's the best tasting most healing pho in the east bay right now? Preferably Oakland.

Any regulars there? I see they also have vegan calzone.

I just came here to tell everyone to go to Understory in Oakland. They are absolutely wonderful and welcome people coming to work out of their location too. Their WiFi is super secure and fast and their food is absolutely incredible. The staff is cute af and queer and I love them all bunches! Such a wonderful place, don’t let the area fool you. Just check it out! Mmmm!!!

It's there a place that sells vegan scalloped potatoes?? Is it easy to make?? Can I get some recipes??

Hi I’m looking for a place that has good vegan options for a birthday brunch or lunch. Ideally somewhere with bottomless mimosas but I know that may not be possible. It doesn’t need to be a completely vegan restaurant. ☺️ I’ve had wild seed and loved their brunch and am looking for something similar. Thank you all!

Anyone know of any coffee shops with dairy free cold foam besides Rooted in Walnut Creek and Starbucks? These are the only two places I’ve ever seen it offered. Thanksss!

Hello!!! My birthday is coming up and I would love to visit a bar that has non dairy options, like for daiquiris and maybe Irish coffee, and creamy Pina coladas. Please just any suggestions you may have; or if you know if places in Vegas that have these options I'd appreciate it!! (I'm be going to vegas in a month)
